Fortinet, a global leader in IT and cyber security, has developed a next-generation firewall called FortiGate that offers unparalleled protection against cyber threats. A FortiGate firewall simplifies your network while providing unparalleled performance and security thanks to its use of purpose-built security processors and threat intelligence from FortiGuard. 

From the entry-level FortiGate-20 series for small offices and retail networks to the powerful FortiGate-1500 series for large businesses, Fortinet has a FortiGate firewall model to meet any deployment need. The FortiGate appliance is the most recent answer to the dynamic nature of Internet security threats.. FortiGate appliances are flexible enough to meet the needs of any business, from a single office to an ISP with thousands of customers. The combination of FortiGate, FortiASIC, and FortiOS offers scalability from the tiniest office to the largest ISP. A FortiGate firewall examines the data that enters into your network and determines if it is safe to pass through to your business. Lower-spec firewalls will often evaluate this data based on information such as its location and source. This information will then be compared to a predefined list of permissions to determine whether it can get through. A FortiGate firewall provides front-line defense against security threats; however, as cyber criminals become more sophisticated, it becomes more difficult for a firewall alone to defend against the myriad of cyber-security threats, which can be encrypted behind what appears to be a reliable source.
