14- FortiGate SSL Certificates - Explained

In this video we are going to tal about FortiGate SSL Certificates. We will talk about digital certificates, how it works betwen FortiGates devices and other endpoints. We will explain the default self-signed certificates and also describe how to generate new certificates through company-owned CA or public trusted CAs and finally explain the FortiGate Certificate Store. A FortiGate SSL certificate is a digital certificate used by a FortiGate firewall to secure communication, primarily for HTTPS connections, both for inbound and outbound traffic. It ensures that the communication between a client and the FortiGate (or between the FortiGate and other servers) is encrypted and authenticated, preventing eavesdropping and tampering. Here's a more detailed explanation: 1. What it does: Authentication: It verifies the identity of the FortiGate firewall to clients, ensuring they are connecting to the legitimate device. Encryption: It encrypts the data transmitted between the client and the FortiGate, making it unreadable to unauthorized parties. Security: It plays a crucial role in SSL/TLS inspection, allowing the FortiGate to decrypt, inspect, and re-encrypt HTTPS traffic to detect malware and enforce security policies. 2. How it works: Inbound inspection: When a client connects to the FortiGate via HTTPS, the FortiGate presents its SSL certificate to the client. Outbound inspection: The FortiGate can also inspect outbound HTTPS traffic from internal users to the internet, using SSL inspection techniques. Certificate exchange: The client verifies the FortiGate's certificate, and if trusted, the communication proceeds with encrypted packets. 3. Types of certificates: Self-signed certificates: FortiGate devices often come with a default self-signed certificate for initial setup and testing. Certificates signed by a Certificate Authority (CA): For production environments, it's recommended to use certificates signed by a trusted CA (like Let's Encrypt or commercial CAs) to ensure broader trust. 4. Key benefits: Enhanced security: Protects sensitive data transmitted over the network. Malware detection: Enables the FortiGate to detect malware hidden within encrypted traffic. Policy enforcement: Allows for content filtering and application control based on decrypted traffic. Compliance: Helps meet regulatory requirements for secure communication. 5. Certificate management: Importing certificates: FortiGate firewalls can import certificates in various formats (PEM, DER, PKCS#12). Certificate renewal: SSL certificates have expiration dates, so they need to be renewed periodically. Certificate storage: FortiGate stores certificates in specific locations (e.g., under 'System --» Certificates' in the GUI).
