Fortinet Expands Its Secure Networking Portfolio to Further Drive
the Convergence of Networking and Security
John Maddison, Chief Marketing Officer and
EVP, Product Strategy at Fortinet“Networking and security
must converge to effectively secure and connect hybrid
infrastructure and empower hybrid work. In fact, we predict that
within this decade, secure networking will eclipse networking to
dominate the marketplace. Fortinet will continue to expand and
integrate its secure networking portfolio, combined with FortiGuard
AI-Powered Security Services, across next-gen firewall, Secure
SD-WAN, Universal ZTNA and SASE, as well as LAN and Wireless
LAN.”
News Summary
Fortinet® (NASDAQ: FTNT), the global cybersecurity leader
driving the convergence of networking and security, today announced
the FortiGate 90G, the first Secure SD-WAN appliance and NGFW with
the new security processing unit 5 (SP5) ASIC that delivers
industry-leading AI-powered threat protection performance,
scalability, and power efficiency at a cost-effective price. This
new addition to Fortinet’s Secure Networking portfolio expands the
company’s ability to deliver consistent security, unified
management, analytics, and FortiGuard AI-Powered Security Services
across the entire hybrid network.
Introducing the FortiGate 90G with SP5 ASICThe
new FortiGate 90G series of next-generation firewalls (NGFWs)
delivers enterprise-grade secure networking capabilities, such
as hybrid mesh firewall, SD-WAN, and SD-Branch, to distributed
edges. FortiGate 90G is also the foundation for customers’ SASE and
zero-trust journey to enable secure internet access, secure private
access and secure SaaS access.
FortiGate 90G is fully integrated with FortiGuard AI-Powered
Security Services, providing advanced intrusion prevention for deep
packet inspection of SSL/TLS traffic, web security services, such
as DNS and URL filtering for blocking of access to malicious
domains and URLs, and content security, such as inline sandboxing
to stop zero-day and other file-based threats.
This new suite of firewalls is the first to ship with the
SP5 ASIC, Fortinet’s fifth-generation ASIC technology announced
earlier this year with the ability to accelerate and concurrently
run 2x more applications—for example, NGFW, zero-trust network
access (ZTNA), SD-WAN, and SSL inspection—compared to the previous
generation. The power of FortiGate 90G with Fortinet’s SP5 ASIC and
FortiGuard AI-Powered Security Services is showcased in the below
Security Compute Rating table, which compares the top firewalls on
the market against the target performance numbers of the FortiGate
90G series:
