FortiOS Everywhere

FortiOS, Fortinet’s Real-Time Network Security Operating System

FortiOS is the operating system that powers Fortinet Security Fabric platform, enabling enforcement of security policies and holistic visibility across the entire attack surface. FortiOS provides a unified framework for managing and securing networks, cloud-based, hybrid, or a convergence of IT, OT, and IoT. FortiOS enables seamless and efficient interoperation across Fortinet products with consistent and consolidated AI-powered protection across today’s hybrid environments.

Unlike traditional point solutions, Fortinet adopts a holistic approach to cybersecurity, aiming to reduce complexities, eliminate security silos, and improve operational efficiencies. By consolidating security functions into a single platform, FortiOS simplifies management, reduces costs, and enhances overall security posture. Together, FortiGate and FortiOS create intelligent, adaptive protection to help organizations reduce complexity, eliminate security silos, and optimize user experience.

By integrating generative AI (GenAI), FortiOS further enhances the ability to analyze network traffic and threat intelligence, detects deviations or anomalies more effectively, and provides more precise remediation recommendations, ensuring minimum performance impact without compromising security.

Fortinet ASICs: Unrivaled Security, Unprecedented Performance

Powered by the only purpose-built SPU

Traditional firewalls cannot protect against today’s content and connection-based threats because they rely on off-the-shelf general-purpose central processing units (CPUs), leaving a dangerous security gap. Fortinet’s custom SPUs deliver the power you need to radically increase speed, scale, and efficiency while greatly improving user experience and reducing footprint and power requirements. Fortinet’s SPUs deliver up to 520 Gbps of protected throughput to detect emerging threats and block malicious content while ensuring your network security solution does not become a performance bottleneck.

Fortinet ASICs are designed to be energy-efficient, leading to lower power consumption and improved TCO. They deliver industry-leading throughput, handle more traffic and perform security inspections faster, reduce latency for quicker packet processing and minimize network delays.

Fortinet SPUs are designed with integrated security functions like zero trust, SSL, IPS, and VXLAN to name but a few, dramatically improving the performance of these functions that competitors traditionally implement in software.

Secure SD-WAN ASIC SP5

• Combines a RISC-based CPU with Fortinet’s proprietary SPU content and network processors for unmatched performance

Superior Wireless Coverage

A built-in dual-band, dual-stream access point is integrated on the FortiWiFi 50G series, which provides the industry’s high-speed WiFi-6 (802.11ax) wireless access.

Trusted Platform Module (TPM)

The FortiGate 50G 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.

Access Layer Security

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

Compact and Reliable Form Factor

Designed for small environments, the FortiGate can be on a desktop or wall-mounted. It is small, lightweight, yet highly reliable with superior meantime between failures, minimizing the chance of network disruption.

Signed Firmware Hardware Switch

The signed firmware switch is a physical security switch. It is by default set to the highest security level. The highest security level ensures that only an appropriately validated FortiOS firmware can be loaded on the FortiGate. This feature adds an additional physical layer of security to the FortiGate, acting as a key deterrent to and reducing risk of compromise.
