Network Security & NGFW

Enterprise Network Security Built for the Modern Threat Landscape

The network perimeter has dissolved. Employees work from anywhere, applications run in multiple clouds, and attackers operate with nation-state resources and ransomware-as-a-service kits. Fortinet's network security solutions converge best-in-class firewall protection with SD-WAN, zero-trust access, and AI-driven threat prevention into a single, unified platform managed through FortiManager.

FortiGate Next-Generation Firewalls

FortiGate NGFW is the world's most deployed network firewall, protecting organizations from the smallest branch to the largest data center. Powered by custom FortiASIC processors, FortiGate delivers up to 2 Tbps of firewall throughput — far exceeding what software-based alternatives can achieve — while providing comprehensive Layer 7 inspection, encrypted traffic analysis, and automated threat response.

Secure SD-WAN

Fortinet Secure SD-WAN combines enterprise-grade WAN connectivity with full next-generation firewall security in a single appliance. Unlike overlay SD-WAN solutions that leave security gaps, Fortinet Secure SD-WAN inspects all traffic inline, applies consistent policy across every branch, and dramatically reduces WAN costs by intelligently leveraging broadband alongside MPLS.

Zero Trust Network Access

FortiZTNA enforces application-level access controls based on user identity, device posture, and location — ensuring that no user or device is implicitly trusted, even inside the corporate network. Microsegmentation prevents lateral movement and contains breaches before they spread.

Network Security FAQ

What is a next-generation firewall?
A next-generation firewall (NGFW) goes beyond traditional port/protocol inspection to include deep packet inspection, application awareness, integrated intrusion prevention, and SSL/TLS decryption — providing visibility and control over all traffic regardless of port or protocol.
How does FortiGate compare to competitors?
FortiGate consistently outperforms competing firewalls in independent performance tests. Custom FortiASIC chips deliver 3-5x the throughput of software-based solutions at the same price point, while FortiGuard threat intelligence provides superior detection rates.
Can I manage multiple FortiGate devices centrally?
Yes. FortiManager provides single-pane-of-glass management for unlimited FortiGate devices across all sites. Automated policy deployment, configuration templates, and compliance reporting make large-scale deployments straightforward.
