FortiGate appliances provide cost-effective, comprehensive protection against network, content, and application-level threats - including complex attacks favored by cybercriminals - without degrading network availability and uptime. FortiGate platforms incorporate sophisticated networking features, such as high availability (active/active, active/passive) for maximum network uptime, and virtual domain capabilities to separate various networks requiring different security policies.

The FortiGate family of multi-threat security appliances range in performance and physical features to meet network requirements of all sizes and topologies. Additionally, Fortinet delivers a complete line of product extensions that enable network managers to control, monitor, and operate networks simply and powerfully:

• FortiAnalyzer Appliances—Centralized logging and reporting that securely aggregates and analyzes log data from multiple Fortinet products
• FortiManager Appliances—Centralized command and control, configuration management and monitoring solution
• FortiMail Appliances—An enterprise-class family of specialized email security solutions providing antispam and antivirus protection

The FortiASIC Advantage
The FortiASIC processor is the foundation of Fortinet’s unique technology. FortiASICs use an intelligent, proprietary content scanning engine that accelerates compute-intensive actions. They also contain acceleration algorithms for encryption so that FortiGate security devices can perform antivirus scanning on VPN tunnels, ensuring clean and controlled communications. Coupling our custom ASIC with proprietary network processor acceleration, Fortinet’s security systems deliver improved security, extreme performance, and a compelling total cost of ownership.

Fortinet’s FortiOS was developed with security and performance as top priorities. FortiOS features full routing (BGP, OSPF, RIP), complete logging and auditing capabilities for forensic analysis, granular Virtual Security Domain (VDOM) support, and a complete command line interface (CLI). No third party software applications are included that could lead to a vulnerability. It is Common Criteria Certified EAL 4+ and Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) 140-2 validated.
