Cloudbrink Personal SASE vs FortiClient

Cloudbrink Personal SASE combines zero-trust network access and Internet Security for people working from offices, homes, or other locations. It brings together the Brink App, FAST edges, and connector software; connectors can link to private applications or data sources in a customer cloud environment or data center. Cloudbrink says FAST edges and packet recovery reduce latency and mitigate network issues, while sessions use changing paths across multiple FAST edges. One policy can manage applications and provide centralized visibility across network activity. Security includes mutual TLS 1.3 certificates lasting up to eight hours, with more frequent refresh possible, including in response to a security event. Identity Management Services support SAML 2.0 connections to Entra ID, Okta, OneLogin, and Keycloak, plus SCIM synchronization. The company has announced a CrowdStrike integration for user and device authentication and authorization. Listed platforms are Linux, macOS, web, and Windows. The free Try-Now plan costs nothing and covers up to three people per organization with one private data center connector; the trial focuses on selected web applications, while private apps and corporate network access require a full-feature trial request.
