Hardware:

Extends Security to Access Layer with FortiLink Ports

FortiLink protocol enables you to converge security and the network access by integrating the FortiSwitch into the FortiGate as a logical extension of the NGFW. These FortiLink enabled ports can be reconfigured as regular ports as needed.

Content Processor

Fortinet’s new, breakthrough SPU CP9 content processor works outside of the direct flow of traffic and accelerates the inspection of computationally intensive security features:

• Enhanced IPS performance with unique capability of full signature matching at ASIC
• SSL Inspection capabilities based on the latest industry mandated cipher suites
• Encryption and decryption offloading

Network Processor

The SPU NP6XLite network processor enhances firewall and VPN functions delivering:

• Optimized firewall processing for all types of IP payloads and Ethernet frames
• Hardware-accelerated VPN encryption
• Anomaly-based intrusion prevention, checksum offload, and packet defragmentation
• Traffic shaping and priority queuing

Trusted Platform Module (TPM)

The FortiGate 200F Series features a dedicated module that hardens physical networking appliances by generating, storing, and authenticating cryptographic keys. Hardware-based security mechanisms protect against malicious software and phishing attacks.
