+# High-Level Design (HLD) for Network Management Integration
+
+## 1. System Components
+- **FortiGate (FGW)**: Network security appliances used for monitoring and securing network traffic.
+- **FortiManager (FMG)**: Centralized management tool for FGW, handling configuration and policy management.
+- **SOAR Platform**: Tool for orchestrating and automating security responses based on data from FMG and FGW.
+
+## 2. Core Infrastructure and Integration
+- Set up FMG for centralized management of FGW devices across multiple tenants.
+- Establish initial integration between SOAR and FMG for efficient data exchange.
+
+## 3. Data Collection and Preliminary Analysis
+- Configure FGW devices to monitor network traffic and report security events to FMG.
+- Implement data processing and analysis in FMG to filter and aggregate relevant information.
+- Ensure FMG feeds processed data to SOAR for further action.
+
+## 4. Development of Automation Playbooks in SOAR
+- Create initial SOAR playbooks for routine automation tasks based on FMG data.
+- Develop standard configuration templates within SOAR for consistent network configurations.
+
+## 5. Advanced Orchestration and Dynamic Configuration
+- Enhance SOAR playbooks for more complex scenarios and dynamic responses.
+- Integrate configuration templates and playbooks for dynamic application based on real-time data.
+
+## 6. Scalable and Customizable Configuration Management
+- Design configuration templates in SOAR to be modular and scalable for different tenant needs.
+- Implement customization options within templates for tenant-specific requirements.
+
+## 7. Continuous Monitoring and Reporting
+- Set up a comprehensive monitoring system for network health and security.
+- Establish feedback mechanisms and regular reporting within SOAR for performance insights.
+
+## 8. Compliance Enforcement and Governance
+- Integrate automated compliance checks within SOAR playbooks and configuration management.
+- Implement governance policies to ensure adherence to industry standards and regulations.
+
+## 9. Training and Documentation
+- Conduct extensive training for system operators on managing the integrated system.
+- Maintain detailed and up-to-date documentation for all processes and configurations.
+
+## 10. System Testing and Iterative Refinement
+- Perform thorough testing in a controlled environment to validate system functionalities.
+- Use feedback from testing and early deployment to make iterative improvements to the system.
+
+## Conclusion
+This HLD provides a structured approach for integrating FMG, FGW, and SOAR in a multi-tenant environment, focusing on scalability, automation, and standardization, while ensuring flexibility and adaptability to meet specific tenant requirements.
