FortiGate 1100E deployment in data center (IPS/NGFW, Intent-based Segmentation)
Next-Generation Firewall (NGFW):
- Simplifies network security by consolidating advanced threat protection capabilities into a single, high-performance appliance.
- Detects and blocks threats with robust intrusion prevention that examines applications beyond ports and protocols.
- Achieves industry-leading SSL inspection performance using standard ciphers, ensuring maximum return on investment (ROI).
- Proactively mitigates sophisticated, emerging threats in real-time with advanced protection technologies.
Segmentation:
- Intent-Based Segmentation: Establishes a secure framework that reduces risk, cost, and complexity.
- Integrates seamlessly with Security Fabric to incorporate third-party solutions and continuous trust assessments, effectively countering sophisticated attacks.
- Protects critical business applications and ensures compliance without requiring network redesigns.
Intrusion Prevention System (IPS):
- Provides cost-effective protection for hard-to-patch systems like IoT, ICS, and SCADA by mitigating unpatched vulnerabilities.
- Secures sensitive data to meet regulatory standards such as PCI, HIPAA, PII, and GDPR.
- Leverages multiple inspection engines, threat intelligence feeds, and real-time advanced protection to defend against unknown threats.
- Combines industry-best intrusion prevention with high-performance SSL inspection.
Mobile Security for 4G, 5G, and IoT:
