Fortinet FortiGate 400F
AI/ML Security and Deep Visibility

Overview:

The FortiGate 400F Series NGFW combines AI-powered security and machine learning to deliver Threat Protection at any scale. Get deeper visibility into your network and see applications, users, and devices before they become threats.

Powered by a rich set of AI/ML security capabilities that extend into an integrated security fabric platform, the FortiGate 400F Series delivers secure networking that is broad, deep, and automated. Secure your network end to end with advanced edge protection that includes web, content, and device security, while network segmentation and secure SD-WAN reduce complexity and risk in hybrid IT networks.

Universal ZTNA automatically controls, verifies, and facilitates user access to applications, reducing lateral threats by providing access only to validated users. Ultra-fast Threat Protection and SSL Inspection provides security at the edge you can see without impacting performance.

FortiOS Everywhere

FortiOS, Fortinet’s advanced operating system

FortiOS enables the convergence of high performing networking and security across the Fortinet Security Fabric. Because it can be deployed anywhere, it delivers consistent and context-aware security posture across network, endpoint, and multi-cloud environments.
FortiOS powers all FortiGate deployments whether a physical or virtual device, as a container, or as a cloud service. This universal deployment model enables the consolidation of many technologies and use cases into a simplified, single policy and management framework. Its organically built best-of-breed capabilities, unified operating system, and ultra-scalability allows organizations to protect all edges, simplify operations, and run their business without compromising performance or protection.
FortiOS dramatically expands the Fortinet Security Fabric’s ability to deliver advanced AI/ ML-powered services, inline advanced sandbox detection, integrated ZTNA enforcement, and more, provides protection across hybrid deployment models for hardware, software, and Software-as-a-Service with SASE.

FortiOS expands visibility and control, ensures the consistent deployment and enforcement of security policies, and enables centralized management across large-scale networks with the following key attributes:

• Interactive drill-down and topology viewers that display real-time status
• On-click remediation that provides accurate and quick protection against threats and abuses
• Unique threat score system correlates weighted threats with users to prioritize investigations

FortiConverter Migration Service

FortiConverter Service provides hassle-free migration to help organizations transition from a wide range of legacy firewalls to FortiGate Next-Generation Firewalls quickly and easily. The service eliminates errors and redundancy by employing best practices with advanced methodologies and automated processes. Organizations can accelerate their network protection with the latest FortiOS technology

FortiGuard Services

FortiGuard AI-Powered Security

FortiGuard’s rich suite of security services counter threats in real time using AI-powered, coordinated protection designed by FortiGuard Labs security threat researchers, engineers, and forensic specialists.

Web Security

Advanced cloud-delivered URL, DNS (Domain Name System), and Video Filtering providing complete protection for phishing and other web born attacks while meeting compliance. Additionally, its dynamic inline CASB (Cloud Access Security Broker) service is focused on securing business SaaS data, while inline ZTNA traffic inspection and ZTNA posture check provide per-sessions access control to applications. It also integrates with the FortiClient Fabric Agent to extend protection to remote and mobile users.

Content Security

Advanced content security technologies enable the detection and prevention of known and unknown threats and file-based attack tactics in real-time. With capabilities like CPRL (Compact Pattern Recognition Language), AV, inline Sandbox, and lateral movement protection make it a complete solution to address ransomware, malware, and credential-based attacks.

Device Security

Advanced security technologies are optimized to monitor and protect IT, IIoT, and OT (Operational Technology) devices against vulnerability and device-based attack tactics. Its validated near-real-time IPS intelligence detects, and blocks known and zero-day threats, provides deep visibility and control into ICS/OT/SCADA protocols, and provides automated discovery, segmentation, and pattern identification-based policies.

Advanced Tools for SOC/NOC

Advanced NAC and SOC management tools attached to your NGFW provide simplified and faster time-to-activation.

SOC-as-a-Service

Includes tier-one hunting and automation, log location, 24x7 SOC analyst experts, managed firewall and endpoint functions, and alert triage

Fabric Rating Security Best Practices

Includes supply chain virtual patching, up-to-date risk and vulnerability data to deliver quicker business decisions, and remediation for data breach situations.

Secure Any Edge at Any Scale

Powered by Security Processing Unit (SPU)

Traditional firewalls cannot protect against today’s content- and connection-based threats because they rely on off-the-shelf hardware and general-purpose CPUs, causing a dangerous performance gap. Fortinet’s custom SPU processors deliver the power you need—up to 520Gbps—to detect emerging threats and block malicious content while ensuring your network security solution does not become a performance bottleneck.
