Remote networks and retail outlets have specific challenges when it comes to the security of their networks. These ROBO (remote office / branch office) networks need the same enterprise-class protection as the centralized corporate networks that they are connecting to, but need that protection and connectivity in a device that is easy to deploy and maintain remotely. The protection of the retail network is further complicated the various types of wireless users and devices that require secure connectivity. Whether it be ROBO, retail, small and medium businesses, or service provider customer premise equipment; the device must be cost effective and easy to use. Ideally, these networks could avoid the installation and maintenance complexities of numerous point products by combining multiple security technologies into a single device.

The FortiGate-80C/CM is a multi-function security device that protects and connects remote and branch offices, retail networks, and telecommuters to centralized headquarter or regional offices. The FG-80C/CM combines firewall, IPSec and SSL VPN, antivirus, antispam, intrusion prevention and web filtering into a single device to reduce the management costs and complexities of deploying each of these technologies independently. Operating on the recently introduced FortiOS 4.0 operating system, the FG-80C/CM also boasts data leakage prevention, SSL inspection, and application control to offer protection against Web 2.0 threats and evasive applications and users. ICSA Labscertified inspection engines ensure the industry’s best protection and specifically address many of the requirements put forth by legislation and the PCI DSS version 1.2. Retail and other networks can benefit from the flexibility and mobility of both wireless LAN and 3G wireless WAN connectivity options. With wireless mobility, simple installation and maintenance, and a host of security features on a single device the FortiGate- 80C/CM and FortiWifi-80CM are perfect solutions for ROBO, SMB, and customer premise equipment networks.
