Fortinet FortiGate 50B Series

Overview:

The FortiGate-50B appliance offers complete security and high performance for telecommuters and small office/home office (SOHO) applications. Its FortiOS operating system offers a full suite of security services in one hardened platform: antivirus/antispyware/antimalware, intrusion prevention (IPS), web filtering, stateful firewall and traffic shaping, and IPSec/SSL VPN. This combination offers superior protection against threats such as IM/P2P traffic, phishing and pharming, and sophisticated blended threats. Rapid, turn-key deployment and easy management deliver low total cost of ownership and facilitate compliance with important legislative requirements such as PCI-DSS and Sarbanes-Oxley.

FortiGate-50B Benefits:

• Integrated, all-in-one security delivers enterprise-class multi-threat protection for small-businesses, remote offices, and home offices.
• Dual WAN links for redundant ISP connections deliver higher availability with load balancing and failover, and bring scalability and reliability to telecommuters and SOHO applications.
• Three internal switch ports eliminate need for additional hub, reducing equipment investment and management burden.
• Available FortiManager and FortiAnalyzer appliances simplify security management and reduce operating expenses in multiple deployments.
• FortiGuard Subscription Services deliver automated, real-time, up-to-date protection against security threats and exploits.

Blended Security Threats Within Small Businesses and Enterprises:

Cyber crime and network attacks pose serious threats to small businesses. Intellectual property, revenue, customer and company records, and other mission critical resources are at risk. As larger companies work to increasingly lock down their networks, more and more security threats are being targeted at smaller companies. Small office/home offices (SOHO) often lack the infrastructure to meet the technical sophistication of today’s complex blended-attack methods and remote offices/branch offices (ROBO) often lack the on-site expertise to tackle such complex security issues. Point-based security appliances are inadequately equipped to protect against these types of attacks because of the multitude of attack vectors used. The Fortinet FortiGate series of SOHO and ROBO security appliances tightly integrate multi-threat protection onto a purpose-built platform to effectively block application- and network-borne attacks.

Cost-Effective Security Platform:

The Fortinet FortiGate series of security appliances deliver high performance, multi-threat protection at a compelling cost that is ideal for securing smaller locations. Complete Unified Threat Management (UTM) features including firewall, VPN, intrusion prevention, Web filtering, antispam, antivirus, antispyware, traffic shaping and IM/P2P controls prevent blended attacks or unauthorized use from interrupting business. All FortiGate devices support High Availability (HA) configurations to ensure maximum uptime. FortiGate appliances operate in either transparent or routing modes and are available with integrated multi-port switches and modems, integrated WiFi access points and PC Card slots for 3G/UMTS modems, all of which enable FortiGate devices to adapt to any network environment. Moreover, with Fortinet FortiGuard Security Subscription Services, the FortiGate-50 thru -100 Series become an affordable and easy-to-manage security solution for an enterprise’s remote/branch offices, a service provider’s customer premise equipment (CPE) or as an all-in-one solution for small-to-medium businesses.

Key Problems: Solutions: Small Offices and Home Offices (SOHO) are particularly vulnerable to cyber attacks due to the lack of resources and budgets to combat complex network and content based threats All-in-one Unifed Threat Management (UTM) system provides multi-layer threat protection with automatic updates all in a cost-effective package Deploying multiple point-products from different vendors does not provide integrated protection from blended threats and is costly to own and complex to maintain UTM security solutions provide tightly integrated protection services with a unified management, logging and reporting interface Adoption of WiFi wireless technology opens another window for attack from inside of the network Built-in WiFi wireless ensures the same level of protection across both wired and wireless networks SOX and PCI compliance requirements adds a new dimension of complexity to logging and reporting Unified tools with a common user interface simplify analyzing, reporting and managing compliance

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 50-100 series appliances are designed to secure small size offices and businesses.

Secure Wired and Wireless Gateways for Small Business

Through the integration of essential security technologies, Fortinet protects both mobile workers and workstations at SOHO and ROBO locations. To keep resources safe, Fortinet’s advanced antivirus, antispyware, antispam, and intrusion prevention systems utilize the integrated FortiASIC processor and a combination of signature and heuristic detection engines to provide multi-layered, real-time protection against a multitude of attacks. The FortiWifi series offers the ability to broadcast multiple SSIDs (Service Set Identifiers), maximizing infrastructure flexibility in multi-provider environments and conserving spectrum. Moreover, different security policies can be set for each SSID, increasing security flexibility. FortiGate 60-series models provide a PC card slot that allows a 3G/UMTS PC card to be used for secure network connectivity.

Enterprise ROBO Deployment

Workers at various remote offices are tasked with vastly different business processes: some use messaging applications while others use database applications. Sales offices that use email and IM applications are protected from blended threats that use multiple methods to attack a system: viruses that spawn dormant Trojans, rootkits, and bots, for example. Combining Fortinet’s antivirus and antispam technology with IM and P2P controls, employees are assured that email and IM messaging remain secure and won’t result in lost revenue or lost data. Application and database users, such as a remote manufacturing site, are guaranteed secure connectivity—via firewalls and VPNs—to the application servers it uses at the central office. Finally, Fortinet offers a complete management solution for centralized monitoring, reporting, logging, and analysis to ensure that remote offices remain up and running.

Managed Security Service Provider Deployment

Managed Security Service Providers (MSSPs) can distribute FortiGate appliances throughout their Customer Premise Equipment (CPE) deployments because of the wide array of connectivity options and the modular security architecture. Different customers can be protected in different ways, according to their needs. For example, one set of customers can be protected with a firewall and intrusion prevention system, while another can be protected with a firewall and web content filtering. MSSPs can centrally monitor and manage all customers using FortiManager and FortiAnalyzer for end-to-end reporting, logging, and even forensic analysis of security events.
