  • Layer 2/3 routing
  • Multiple WAN interface options

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 (VDOM) capabilities to separate various networks requiring different security policies.

ANTIVIRUS SOLUTIONS

Fortinet® antivirus technology combines advanced signature and heuristic detection engines to provide multi-layered, real-time protection against both new and evolving virus, spyware, and other types of malware attacks in web, email, and file transfer traffic. The FortiASIC™ content processor integrated into FortiGate® and FortiWifi™ products accelerates both signature scanning and heuristics/anomaly detection for virus / malware protection while delivering performance that scales from entry-level appliances to multi-gigabit core network or data center platforms. The FortiGuard® threat research team and global distributed network provides industry-leading antivirus signature updates for comprehensive protection against all types of content-level threats.
