Overview:
The FortiGate-1000 Series appliances offer a cost-effective solution for multi-threat protection of the enterprise perimeter. They offer (10) 10/100/1000 Base-T interfaces and support up to ten virtual domains (VDOMs) for segmentation by customer, business unit, or any other logical division.
FortiGate-1000 Series Benefits:
- Ten (10) 10/100/1000 Base-T interfaces for flexible deployment.
- The FortiGate-1000AFA2 variation offers two additional ASIC-accelerated Gigabit Ethernet SFP interfaces for wire-speed firewall performance at all packet sizes.
- Complement or upgrade existing security infrastructure by enabling only the services needed.
- Segment the network by customer, business unit, or any other logical division for more control with support for up to 10 virtual domains (VDOMs).
- Redundant, hot-swappable power supplies minimize single-point failures.
- Available FortiManager and FortiAnalyzer integration simplifies security management, reporting, and analysis while reducing operating expenses.
- FortiGuard Subscription Services deliver automated, real-time, and up-to-date protection against security threats.
High Performance Enterprise Network Security:
FortiGate enterprise security solutions deliver next-generation firewall technology and multi-threat protection integrated into cost-effective security platforms that effectively block blended network threats. Point-product security solutions do not provide protection against a new breed of blended threats that utilize a multitude of attack vectors. Furthermore, assembling an array of point products is costly and requires significant expertise to engineer, maintain and manage. FortiGate solutions cost-effectively deliver complete multi-threat protection against: unauthorized access, intrusion attempts, viruses, worms, trojans, spyware, phishing attempts, spam and other types of content-based and network-based threats.
Industry-Leading Unified Threat Management (UTM):
Fortinet incorporates ICSA Labs-certified UTM functions into a single ASIC-based appliance that is simple to install and manage. Stateful firewall, IPSec and SSL-VPN, intrusion prevention, antivirus, antispam, and Web filtering features combine to form a complete enterprise-focused network security platform that offers compelling total cost of ownership.
Fortinet’s Multi-Layered Security Solution:
Fortinet’s multi-layered security solutions efficiently and economically provide an integrated set of security services in a single, easy-to-manage high-performance appliance that is capable of supporting a wide range of deployment scenarios. In addition, FortiGuard Subscription Services include everything from technical support, antivirus updates, antispyware, antispam, and Web content filtering to ensure that your security environment remains current and your corporate resources are protected against the latest blended threats. FortiGate systems come with a one-year limited hardware warranty and 90-day limited software warranty.
Deployments:
FortiGate multi-threat security solutions are designed for enterprise networks.
Secure Network Perimeters / Internal Segmentation

Firewall and VPN services are deployed at the perimeter of the internal network to securely connect remote offices and mobile users to an organization’s private resources while at the same time preventing any other unauthorized access. Intrusion prevention, antivirus and Web filtering services ensure that network-based threats and contentbased threats are stopped inbound as well as outbound.
Inside the network, segmentation can be achieved using firewall, intrusion prevention and antivirus technologies. Internal segmentation effectively isolates outbreaks before they are allowed to spread throughout an organization’s network.
Virtual Security Domains / Distributed Enterprises

FortiGate platforms support multiple security zones and virtual security domains to customize a network’s security policy anywhere requirements demand. Virtual Domains (VDOMs) can also be used to provision services for external customers.
All FortiGate solutions start from the same flexible high performance architecture. Core networking features found in every model such as High Availability (HA) and support for dynamic routing protocols enable the FortiGate to be deployed into highly distributed and fully meshed network environments.
Datacenter and Critical Applications Security

Effectively protecting an organization’s mission critical applications from a new generation of application-based threats that are now targeting Web 2.0, VoIP and even IPTV applications requires a comprehensive security strategy that contains multiple layers of network-based defenses. Unfortunately, many of these new applications are time-critical, forcing administrators to choose between performance and security. The FortiGate family of multi-gigabit performance solutions deliver real-time protection against multi-layered security threats which target application servers. In addition to protecting against these new threat types, advanced antispam filtering relieves the ever evolving problem of unsolicited bulk mail while also filtering mail for spyware and security policy violating content.
