Fortinet FortiGate 400E-BYPASS
Enterprise-Grade Protection for Smaller Networks

Overview:

The FortiGate 400E-BYPASS provides an application-centric, scalable, and secure SD-WAN solution with Next Generation Firewall (NGFW) capabilities for mid-sized to large enterprises deployed at the campus or branch level. Protects against cyber threats with system-on-a-chip acceleration and industryleading secure SD-WAN in a simple, affordable, and easy to deploy solution. Fortinet’s Security-Driven Networking approach provides tight integration of the network to the new generation of security.

Security

• Identifies thousands of applications inside network traffic for deep inspection and granular policy enforcement
• Protects against malware, exploits, and malicious websites in both encrypted and non-encrypted traffic
• Prevents and detects against known attacks using continuous threat intelligence from AI-powered FortiGuard Labs security services
• Proactively blocks unknown sophisticated attacks in realtime with the Fortinet Security Fabric integrated AI-powered FortiSandbox

Performance

• Engineered for Innovation using Fortinet’s purpose-built security processors (SPU) to deliver the industry’s best threat protection performance and ultra-low latency
• Provides industry-leading performance and protection for SSL encrypted traffic including the first firewall vendor to provide TLS 1.3 deep inspection

Certification

• Independently tested and validated best security effectiveness and performance
• Received unparalleled third-party certifications from NSS Labs, ICSA, Virus Bulletin, and AV Comparatives

Networking

• Dynamic Path Selection over any WAN transport to provide better application experience based on self-healing SD-WAN capabilities
• Advanced routing, scalable VPN, multi-cast, and IPV4/IPV6 forwarding powered by purpose-built network processors

Management

• SD-WAN orchestration provides intuitive and simplified workflow for centralized management and provisioning of business policies in a few easy clicks
• Expedited deployment with zero touch provisioning well-suited for large and distributed infrastructure
• Automated VPN tunnels for flexible hub-to-spoke and full-mesh deployment at scale to provide bandwidth aggregation and encrypted WAN paths
• Predefined compliance checklists analyze the deployment and highlight best practices to improve the overall security posture

• Automatically builds Network Topology visualizations which discover IoT devices and provide complete visibility into Fortinet and Fabric-ready partner products

Hardware:

Bypass Interfaces

The FortiGate 400E includes 16 pairs of bypass ports that provide fail-open support. In the event of a hardware failure, power loss, or bypass mode is enabled, the bypass ports will maintain network connectivity and traffic will continue uninterrupted.

Network Processor

Fortinet’s new, breakthrough SPU NP6 network processor works inline with FortiOS functions delivering:

• Superior firewall performance for IPv4/IPv6, SCTP, and multicast traffic with ultra-low latency down to two microseconds
• VPN, CAPWAP, and IP tunnel acceleration
• Anomaly-based intrusion prevention, checksum offload, and packet defragmentation
• Traffic shaping and priority queuing

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
