Fortigate Firewall
Fortinet's FortiGate Firewall is an advanced security solution that offers high-performance threat protection and automated visibility to stop cyber attacks, ensuring business continuity.
Fortinet's FortiGate Firewalls represent the next generation of enterprise network security. With advanced threat protection features, these firewalls are able to identify and block attacks in real time, providing an additional layer of security for the network. In addition, automated visibility technology helps to quickly identify potential vulnerabilities in the network, allowing the security team to take preventive measures to minimize the risk of cyber attacks.
With the FortiGate Firewall, companies can be sure that their network is well protected against the most sophisticated and emerging threats, guaranteeing business continuity and the protection of corporate data.
Fortinet's FortiGate firewall is an advanced solution that reduces costs and complexity by eliminating the need for multiple security products, consolidating industry-leading features including Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) inspection to ensure full visibility and protection at the network edge.
In addition, FortiGate is a hybrid firewall, allowing companies to provide the best user experience and manage security risks with better business continuity. This is the first solution of its kind for next-generation firewalls and enables a security-oriented network more efficiently and cost-effectively.
According to Gartner estimates, by 2019, around 80% of business traffic will be encrypted and 50% of attacks targeting businesses will be hidden in encrypted traffic in order to infiltrate networks or exfiltrate data. This has made it essential to adopt HTTPS inspection as a requirement to guarantee data security and the integrity of the corporate network.

Processing - Secure Processing Units Overview
Fortinet's next-generation firewalls use security processors and network security services against intelligent threats, created from laboratories FortiGuard with AI technology, to offer high-level protection, high-performance inspection of encrypted traffic and clear text.
O Fortigate reduces cost and complexity with full visibility of applications, users and networks and provides the best security.
Performance
Fortinet continues to innovate and create new Secure Processing Units (SPUs) to meet one of our key fundamental principles: security appliances should never become a performance bottleneck in a network and security architecture, nor should they sacrifice visibility, user experience or security to achieve required application performance. In short, fulfill the promise of digital innovation.
As an integral part of the Fortinet Security Fabric, they can communicate within Fortinet's broad security portfolio. Fortinetand third-party security solutions in a multi-vendor environment to share threat intelligence and improve the security posture.
Traffic Control
The FortiGate next-generation firewall controls oversized traffic entering and leaving the network. Inspections are carried out in real time to ensure that only legitimate traffic is allowed through, without compromising the user experience or costly downtime.
NGFWs can communicate with the FortiGuard and FortiSandbox services, as well as with other firewalls in the Fortinet Security Fabric. To protect against known and everyday threats and improve operational efficiency through integration with the Fortinet Security FabricFortiGate NGFW is integrated with both FortiGuard and its Artificially Intelligent (AI) services.
What does Next Generation Firewall (NGFW) mean?
- A firewall is a security device used to protect a network from cyber threats. It acts as a "gate" between the internal network and the Internet, controlling incoming and outgoing traffic.
- A Next Generation Firewall (NGFW) is an evolution of the traditional firewall. It uses more advanced technologies to provide more comprehensive protection against cyber threats.
The NGFW not only monitors incoming and outgoing traffic, but is also capable of examining the content of the traffic, analyzing the data packets to detect and block threats such as malware and viruses.
Some common features found in an NGFW include:
SSL/TLS inspection: allows the Firewall to examine encrypted traffic to detect hidden threats.
Application control: allows the Firewall to block or limit the use of specific applications that may pose a security risk.
Intrusion prevention: monitors traffic for intrusion attempts and blocks them automatically.
Unified Threat Management (UTM): combines various security features in a single device, making it easier to administer and implement security.
NGFWs are widely used in companies and organizations that need advanced network protection against increasingly sophisticated cyber threats. They help ensure that confidential data remains safe and protected against security breaches.
