Ultra High-Performance Network Security

Digital enterprises are processing vast amounts of encrypted traffic and content rich data along with an increased emphasis on optimized user experiences. The digital attack surface has spawned new, complex forms of attacks that require advanced protection to be applied at anytime, anywhere the threat is discovered. Today’s next-generation firewalls (NGFWs) must reliably handle large volumes of network and cloud traffic, provide consolidated advanced security in a smaller, more efficient physical footprint, and accommodate new security requirements such as extensive inspection of encrypted traffic for sophisticated malware without impacting performance.

The new FortiGate 6000 NGFW appliances feature the latest Fortinet innovation, to deliver leading edge security, performance, and connectivity for the most demanding network needs. The 6000 series combines unprecedented threat protection and SSL inspection performance in an easy to manage, compact appliance.

FortiGate Ultra High-Performance Next-Generation Firewalls include:

• Industry's highest NGFW and threat protection throughput in a compact 3U appliance
• Inspection of encrypted traffic for malware at breakthrough speeds
• Load balancing of network traffic to support very high connection rates
• New architectural hardware designed for scale and resilience
• High density network interfaces with 10G/25G/40G and 100G connectivity
• Security Fabric integration for shared intelligence, transparent visibility, and security controls across the entire attack surface

Security

• Protects against known exploits, malware and malicious URLs using continuous threat intelligence provided by FortiGuard Labs security services
• Protects against unknown attacks using dynamic analysis and provides automated mitigation to stop targeted attacks

Performance

• Next Generation of Fortinet Distribution Processors (DP3) introduces a revolutionary load balancing architecture providing both resiliency and ultra high connection rate support
• Delivers industry’s best threat protection performance and ultra-low latency using purpose-built security processor (SPU) technology
• Provides industry-leading performance and protection for SSL encrypted traffic

Certification

• Independently tested and validated best security effectiveness and performance

Networking

• Delivers extensive network interface flexibility with the first 1/10/25 G interface support in the industry
• With uplinks in typical data centers moving to 100 GE, the combination of 1/10/25 and 40/100 GE interfaces provides superior interface flexibility and TCO for customers

Management

• Single Pane of Glass with Network Operations Center (NOC) view provides 360° visibility to identify issues quickly and intuitively

Security Fabric

• Enables Fortinet and Fabric-ready partners’ products to collaboratively integrate and provide end-to-end security across the entire attack surface
