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 organically built best-of-breed capabilities, unified operating system, and ultra-scalability. The solution 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/MLpowered services, inline advanced sandbox detection, integrated ZTNA enforcement, and more. It 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 a simplified, single policy and management framework. Its security policies enable 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 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

Network and File Security

Services provide protection against network-based and file-based threats. This consists of Intrusion Prevention (IPS) which uses AI/M models to perform deep packet/SSL inspection to detect and stop malicious content, and apply virtual patching when a new vulnerability is discovered. It also includes Anti-Malware for defense against known and unknown file-based threats. Anti-malware services span both antivirus and file sandboxing to provide multilayered protection and are enhanced in real-time with threat intelligence from FortiGuard Labs. Application Control enhances security compliance and offers real-time application visibility.

Web / DNS Security

Services provide protection against web-based threats including DNS-based threats, malicious URLs (including even in emails), and botnet/command and control communications. DNS filtering provides full visibility into DNS traffic while blocking high-risk domains, and protects against DNS tunneling, DNS infiltration, C2 server ID and Domain Generation Algorithms (DGA). URL filtering leverages a database of 300M+ URLs to identify and block links to malicious sites and payloads. IP Reputation and anti-botnet services prevent botnet communications, and block DDoS attacks from known sources.

SaaS and Data Security

SaaS and Data Security Services address numerous security use cases across application usage as well as overall data security. This service consists of Data Leak Prevention (DLP) which ensures data visibility, management, and protection (including blocking exfiltration) across networks, clouds, and users, while simplifying compliance and privacy implementations. The FortiGuard Data Loss Prevention Service provides advanced data protection by using real-time data classification and pattern matching to identify sensitive information. It offers comprehensive monitoring and control over data movement, ensuring that sensitive data is not inadvertently or maliciously transmitted outside the organization. Additionally, The FortiGuard Data Loss Prevention Service facilitates compliance with various regulatory requirements by automating the enforcement of data security policies and providing detailed reporting and audit trails.

Zero-Day Threat Prevention

Zero-day threat prevention entails Fortinet’s AI-based inline malware prevention, our most advanced sandbox service, to analyze and block unknown files in real-time, offering subsecond protection against zero-day and sophisticated threats across all NGFWs. The service also has a built-in MITRE ATT&CK® matrix to accelerate investigations. The service focuses on comprehensive defense by blocking unknown threats while streamlining incident response efforts and reducing security overhead.

OT Security

The service provides OT detection, OT vulnerability correlation, virtual patching, OT signatures, and industry-specific protocol decoders for overall robust defense of OT environments and devices.

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.

ASIC Advantage

Next Generation Firewall (NGFW)

• FortiGuard Labs’ suite of AI-powered Security Services—natively integrated with your NGFW—secures web, content, and devices and protects networks from ransomware and sophisticated cyberattacks
• Real-time SSL inspection (including TLS 1.3) provides full visibility into users, devices, and applications across the attack surface
• Fortinet’s patented SPU (Security Processing Unit) technology provides industry-leading high-performance protection

Secure SD-WAN

• FortiGate WAN Edge powered by one OS and unified security and management framework and systems transforms and secures WANs
• Delivers superior quality of experience and effective security posture for work-from-any where models, SD-Branch, and cloud-first WAN use cases
• Achieve operational efficiencies at any scale through automation, deep analytics, and self-healing

Universal ZTNA

• Control access to applications no matter where the user is and no matter where the application is hosted for universal application of access policies
• Provide extensive authentications, checks, and enforce policy prior to granting application access - every time
• Agent-based access with FortiClient or agentless access via proxy portal for guest or BYOD

Segmentation

• Dynamic segmentation adapts to any network topology to deliver true end-to-end security—from the branch to the datacenter and across multi-cloud environments
• Ultra-scalable, low latency, VXLAN segmentation bridges physical and virtual domains with Layer 4 firewall rules
• Prevents lateral movement across the network with advanced, coordinated protection from FortiGuard Security Services detects and prevents known, zero-day, and unknown attacks

Trusted Platform Module (TPM)

The FortiGate 400F Series features a dedicated module that hardens physical networking appliances by generating, storing, and authenticating cryptographic keys. Hardware-based security mechanisms protect against malicious software and phishing attacks.

Access Layer Security

FortiLink protocol enables you to converge security and the network access by integrating the FortiSwitch into the FortiGate as a logical extension of the NGFW. These FortiLink enabled ports can be reconfigured as regular ports as needed.
