FIREWALL SOLUTIONS

Fortinet firewall technology combines ASIC-accelerated stateful inspection with an arsenal of integrated application security engines to quickly identify and block complex threats. FortiGate® firewall protection integrates with other key security features such as VPN, antivirus, intrusion prevention system (IPS), web filtering, antispam and traffic shaping to deliver multi-layered security that scales from SOHO/ROBO appliances to multi-gigabit core network or data center platforms. FortiManager™ and FortiAnalyzer™ turn-key appliances provide centralized management of thousands of FortiGate systems and detailed reporting capabilities for internal auditing and reporting.

FortiGate Firewall Technology Benefits

  • FortiASIC™ network processors enable firewall and traffic shaping at wire speeds in selected FortiGate platforms.
  • Full integration with other Fortinet security technologies (e.g., antivirus, Web filtering) enables extensive protection profiles for in-depth defense.
  • Virtual security domains and security zones enable network segmentation by customer, business unit, or any other physical or logical division for increased policy granularity and multi-layered security.
  • Three operational modes (transparent, static NAT, and dynamic NAT) adapt to existing infrastructure for deployment versatility.
  • Easily customized application definitions deliver additional policy granularity for more accurate protection.
  • FortiClient end-point security agents extend firewall protection to remote desktop computers, mobile laptops, and smartphones that operate outside the network perimeter.
  • H.323, SIP, and SCCP protocol support to protect VoIP services.
  • Support for dynamic routing protocols (RIP, OSPF, BGP and PIM) required in complex enterprise network environments.
  • High-availability support for uninterrupted service.
  • Available centralized management and reporting reduce capital and operational expenditures for firewall protection.





Fortinet provides us with a secure environment in a simplified management scheme and very low maintenance. The performance of Fortinet's firewall is second to none. All the required security functions are truly integrated, and the ease of configuration of the FortiGate appliances allowed us to carry out the initial deployment within two weeks in spite of a relatively large and widespread installed base. Today, implementing new VPN tunnels with hotels is a matter of an hour or less. Our goal is to replace the existing ISDN connections from several thousand hotel customers with VPN connections.
