• Flow-based Antirus
• File Quarantine
• IPv6 Support

Antivirus Throughput: 900 Mbps

Intrusion Prevention

IPS technology protects against current and emerging networklevel threats. In addition to signature-based threat detection, IPS performs anomaly-based detection which alerts users to any traffic that matches attack behavior profiles. The Fortinet threat research team analyzes suspicious behavior, identifies and classifies emerging threats, and generate new signatures to include with FortiGuard Service updates.

Features Supported:

• Automatic Attack Database Update
• Protocol Anomaly Support
• IPS and DoS Prevention Sensor
• Custom Signature Support
• IPv6 Support

IPS Throughput: 5 Gbps

WAN Optimization

Wide Area Network (WAN) optimization accelerates applications over geographically dispersed networks, while ensuring multithreat inspection of all network traffic. WAN optimization eliminates unnecessary and malicious traffic, optimizes legitimate traffic, and reduces the amount of bandwidth required to transmit data between applications and servers. Improved application performance and delivery of network services reduces bandwidth and infrastructure requirements, along with associated expenditures.

Feature Highlights:

• Gateway-to-Gateway Optimization
• Bi-directional Gateway-to-client Optimization
• Web Caching
• Secure Tunnel
• Transparent Mode

SSL-Encrypted Traffic Inspection

SSL-encrypted traffic inspection protects endpoint clients and Web and application servers from hidden threats. SSL Inspection intercepts encrypted traffic and inspects it for threats prior to routing it to its final destination. It can be applied to client-oriented SSL traffic, such as users connecting to cloud-based CRM site, and to inbound Web and application server traffic. SSL inspection enables you to enforce appropriate use policies on encrypted Web content and to protect servers from threats which may be hidden inside encrypted traffic flows.

Feature Highlights:

• Protocol: HTTPS, SMTPS, POP3S, IMAPS
• Inspection support: Antivirus, Web Filtering, Antispam, Data Loss Prevention
• SSL Offload

End-Point NAC

Endpoint NAC can enforce the use of FortiClient Endpoint Security for users connecting to corporate networks. Endpoint NAC verifies FortiClient Endpoint Security installation, firewall operation and upto- date antivirus signatures before allowing network access. Noncompliant endpoints, such as endpoints running applications that violate security policies can be quarantined or sent to remediation.

Feature Highlights:

• Monitor & Control Hosts Running FortiClient
• Vulnerability Scanning of Network Nodes
• Quarantine Portal
• Application Detection and Control
• Built-in Application Database

Data Loss Prevention

DLP uses a sophisticated pattern-matching engine to identify and prevent the transfer of sensitive information outside of your network perimeter, even when applications encrypt their communications. In addition to protecting your organization's critical data, Fortinet DLP provides audit trails to aid in policy compliance. You can select from a wide range of configurable actions to log, block, and archive data, and quarantine or ban users.

Feature Highlights:

• Identification And Control Over Data in Motion
• Built-in Pattern Database
• RegEx Based Matching Engine
• Common File Format Inspection
• International Character Sets Supported

Web Filtering

Web filtering protects endpoints, networks and sensitive information against Web-based threats by preventing users from accessing known phishing sites and sources of malware. In addition, administrators can enforce policies based on Website categories to easily prevent users from accessing inappropriate content and clogging networks with unwanted traffic.

Feature Highlights:

• HTTP/HTTPS Filtering
• URL / Keyword / Phrase
• Block Blocks Java Applet, Cookies or Active X
• MIME Content Header Filtering
• Flow-based Web Filtering
• IPv6 Support

Logging, Reporting & Monitoring
