Fortinet FortiGate 3600

Overview:

Best-of-Breed Network Antivirus Protection

FortiGate™ Antivirus Firewalls are dedicated, hardware based units that deliver complete, real-time network protection services at the network edge. Based on Fortinet’s revolutionary FortiASIC™ Content Processor chip, the FortiGate platforms are the only systems that can detect and eliminate viruses, worms, and other content-based threats without reducing network performance — even for real-time applications like Web browsing. FortiGate systems also include integrated firewall, content filtering, VPN, intrusion detection and prevention, and traffic shaping functions, making them the most cost effective, convenient, and powerful network protection solutions available.

The FortiGate-3600 Antivirus Firewall is a high performance system that delivers gigabit throughput with exceptional reliability for the most demanding large enterprise and service provider environments. Providing 6 gigabit interfaces, the FortiGate-3600 establishes new levels of price/performance, and offers a complete array of antivirus, firewall, web and email content filtering, VPN, network-based intrusion detection and prevention, and traffic shaping capabilities. The FortiGate-3600 deploys easily in existing networks and can be used for antivirus and content filtering only or can be deployed as a complete network protection solution. The FortiGate-3600 supports independent security zones and policies mapped to VLAN tags enabling granular security configurations unique to each group or department. High Availability (HA) operation and redundant hot-swappable power supplies ensure non-stop operation in mission-critical applications. The FortiGate-3600 is kept up to date automatically by Fortinet’s FortiProtect™ Network, which provides continuous updates that ensure protection against the latest viruses, worms, Trojans, and other threats – around the clock, and around the world.

High performance multi-threat security for the Enterprise and Managed Security Service Providers (MSSPs)

The security landscape has evolved. Traditional point-based Firewall, Antivirus and IPS security solutions are inadequately equipped to protect your network from today’s complex blended threats such as NetSky and SoBig which utilize multiple methods to attack and infect computer systems.

To effectively protect organizations from these new generation of attacks requires a comprehensive security strategy that contains multiple layers of network-based defenses at the edge and at the core of your network. The FortiGate-3600 delivers a high performance appliance that tightly integrates multiple security solutions to combat blended attacks. Integrated antivirus and antispyware engines inspects email, HTTP and FTP downloads for malicious content, dynamic IPS detects and blocks attacks aimed at exploiting application vulnerabilities, antispam filtering blocks the transport of malicious files, comprehensive web content filtering blocks access to offensive and malicious internet sites and a stateful firewall is used as a first line of defense.

Flexible security for emerging technologies and network architectures

The FortiGate-3600’s flexible architecture allows it to quickly adapt to emerging technologies and threats such as IM, P2P and VOIP applications and Identity theft methods such as Spyware, Phishing and Pharming attacks.

Flexible deployment options such as NAT, Route and Transparent modes allow the FortiGate-3600 to be easily deployed into most network designs. Core networking features such as High Availability (HA) and support for dynamic routing protocols RIP, OSPF and BGP allow the FortiGate-3600 to be deployed into complex full mesh network environments that require maximum network availability.

To reduce deployment costs, The FortiGate-3600 appliance supports security zones and virtual security domains to secure multiple internal networks or external customers on a single, easy to manage platform.
