Fortinet Next Generation Firewall (NGFW)

More internet-based applications and services, more mobile devices, more sophisticated attacks and breaches. The Enterprise is changing, as are Threats and Enterprise Network Security requirements. Fortinet’s FortiGate appliances deploy as an NSS Labs “Recommended” Next Generation Firewall (NGFW) at the enterprise campus, branch or midsize business with 5x the Next Gen performance of other leading appliances for the greater visibility, control and protection your organization needs.

Next-Generation Firewall (NGFW)
1. Firewall
2. VPN
3. IPS
4. Application Control
5. Web Filtering
6. Anti-malware
7. Advanced Threat Protection (ATP)
8. Authentication
9. Reporting
10. Management

Fortinet’s FortiOS high-performance Firewall/VPN platform provides the foundation upon which Application Control, Intrusion Prevention and actionable reporting are added for the standard next generation firewall deployment. However, more and more organizations also opt to extend their NGFW further by adding:

》 Web Filtering and/or Antimalware for greater security and/or to consolidate their Secure Web Gateway
》 Advanced Threat Protection to combat the rise of advanced persistent threats (APTs)
》 Strong Authentication as they move to user- rather than device-based authentication in a BYOD world

These options result in a more complete enterprise security solution that is simply to deploy and manage.
