ConfigSentry has continued to grow into a more complete FortiGate security auditing platform, with recent improvements focused on making audits easier to run, findings easier to understand, and ongoing firewall review easier to manage.
Teams can start with a one-off configuration upload or read-only SSH retrieval, then move to scheduled collector-based audits when regular monitoring is needed. Enterprise workflows can also trigger an audit when a configuration change is detected, helping security and network teams identify drift sooner.
Reporting has also been expanded. Each audit can provide detailed engineer output for investigation and remediation alongside a clearer executive report for management and governance review. PDF exports make both report formats easier to download, share, and retain as evidence.
Other improvements include stronger audit templates, clearer findings and remediation guidance, expanded collector support, improved appliance credential options, and a more transparent view of pricing, product capabilities, and security and data handling.
A limited-time free trial is currently available until 30 September 2026. The free audit uses a focused template with a smaller set of checks than paid audits, while still demonstrating the complete workflow, findings, remediation guidance, and both engineer and executive reports.
