What is the purpose of fabric-object-unification in FortiGate's security fabric?

The purpose of fabric-object-unification in FortiGate's security fabric primarily revolves around simplifying address object management. This feature allows for a centralized and cohesive way to manage and standardize address objects across all devices within the security fabric. By unifying these objects, administrators can efficiently organize, edit, and apply security policies related to these addresses without needing to replicate efforts across multiple devices or configurations. This not only improves the consistency of network policies but also reduces the potential for errors and simplifies overall management.

The other choices focus on aspects that are not directly related to fabric-object-unification. While enforcing compliance policies and coordinating firmware updates are essential functions within a security fabric, they do not specifically pertain to the management and organization of address objects. Similarly, increasing throughput between FortiGates relates more to performance optimizations and network efficiency rather than the specific organizational capabilities that fabric-object-unification provides.
