Fortinet's FortiGate: The New Generation of Secure Gateways
Fortinet's FortiGate is the new generation of secure gateways that enable enterprises
and service providers of all sizes to obtain the highest levels of security and
application level control over networked traffic. Built from the ground up by Fortinet,
FortiGate systems start with a purpose-built hardware platform for unmatched performance.
And by consolidating critical security technology and services into a truly integrated
system, FortiGate delivers more effective security, notable cost savings, and a
smaller environmental footprint.
Integrated Application & Network Protection
Protecting networks from modern threats requires visibility from the network layer
of the traffic all the way through the application layer. This requires comprehensive
protocol awareness and security content coverage that includes protection against
a broad array of threats, including:
- Malware
- Intrusion attempts
- Denial of service attacks
- Unauthorized access
- and more...
The FortiGate secure gateway controls communications and protects networked assets
from vulnerabilities and malicious security threats. This is accomplished through
the complete integration of technologies which are normally found in separate products.
Control Communications
- Firewall
- IPSec VPN / SSL-VPN
- Web Filtering
- Application Control / Traffic Optimization
- Layer 2/3 routing
Protect Networked Assets
- Antivirus / Antispyware / Antimalware
- Intrusion Prevention System (IPS)
- Antispam
The result is a new generation of secure gateways that enable efficient control
over network communications and comprehensive protection for mission-critical applications.
Custom ASIC Processors for Unmatched Performance
The FortiASIC processor is a component of FortiGate's unique hardware technology.
FortiASIC is a family of purpose built, high-performance network and content processors
that work with general-purpose processors to accelerate network and application
level security functions. The FortiASIC also provides the acceleration required
to deliver high-performance multi-threat security capabilities for enterprise and
service provider environments.
With FortiASIC acceleration, multiple FortiGate secure gateways are enabled with
support for 10-Gigabit Ethernet communications—enabling and protecting high-speed
core and data center networks.
Consolidated Security Platform
Consolidation via Fortinet's FortiGate multi-threat security platform reduces the
capital and operational expenses of purchasing, managing and maintaining a multitude
of different solutions and provides a scalable, flexible path for future adoption
of additional security functions without the need to purchase additional hardware.
This enables reduced total cost of ownership (TCO) and preservation of your security
investment.
Deployment of Fortinet's consolidated network security platform means fewer devices
in your data center - translating into a more efficient use of hardware, ventilation
and power consumption and an overall smaller carbon footprint. There's also the
energy reduction across the entire life cycle: more efficient manufacturing and
less hardware to recycle at end of life.
A Full Portfolio of Complementary Solutions
To compliment the FortiGate product line, Fortinet also offers FortiManager appliances,
which enable customers to manage all Fortinet products from a centralized console.
For centralized analysis and reporting, Fortinet offers FortiAnalyzer appliances
for forensics, archiving and graphical reporting functions.
For complete email security that includes content archiving and the highest levels
of antispam and antivirus capabilities, Fortinet offers FortiMail specialized email
security appliances. For endpoint security, Fortinet provides FortiClient software,
a product that provides unified endpoint security for desktops, laptops and mobile
devices.
