Solution overview
FortiGate NGFWs provide deep packet inspection, application-aware traffic control and real-time threat prevention. The platform identifies and controls over 7,000 applications regardless of port, protocol or encryption. FortiGuard Labs threat intelligence services deliver continuous updates for antivirus signatures, IPS rules, web filtering categories and application control databases.
Fortinet Security Fabric provides a coordinated security architecture that connects FortiGate firewalls with FortiSwitch, FortiAP, FortiClient, FortiSandbox, FortiMail and FortiSIEM components. FortiManager provides centralized policy management and FortiAnalyzer delivers security analytics and reporting across the entire fabric. FortiOS SD-WAN integrates secure connectivity with application-aware routing for branch deployments.
