FortiGate Antivirus Firewalls improve network security, reduce network misuse and
abuse, and help you use communications resources more efficiently without
compromising the performance of your network. FortiGate Antivirus Firewalls are
ICSA-certified for firewall, IPSec, and antivirus services.
The FortiGate Antivirus Firewall is a dedicated easily managed security device that
delivers a full suite of capabilities that include:
• application-level services such as virus protection and content filtering,
• network-level services such as firewall, intrusion detection, VPN, and traffic
shaping.
The FortiGate Antivirus Firewall uses Fortinet's Accelerated Behavior and Content
Analysis System (ABACAS™) technology, which leverages breakthroughs in chip
design, networking, security, and content analysis. The unique ASIC-based
architecture analyzes content and behavior in real-time, enabling key applications to
be deployed right at the network edge where they are most effective at protecting your
networks.
The FortiGate-400 model meets
enterprise-class requirements for
performance, availability, and reliability.
The FortiGate-400 is capable of
throughput up to 500Mbps and supports
advanced features such as 802.1Q VLAN support, virtual domains, high availability
(HA), and the RIP and OSPF routing protocols. High-availability features include
automatic failover with no session loss, making the FortiGate-300 the choice for
mission critical applications.
The FortiGate unit default configuration includes default interface IP addresses and is
only a few steps away from protecting your network. There are several ways to
configure basic FortiGate settings:
• the web-based manager,
• the front panel control buttons and LCD,
• the command line interface (CLI), or
• the setup wizard.
