FortiGate 70G Series
Converged Next-Generation Firewall and SD-WAN
Converged Next-Generation Firewall (NGFW) and SD-WAN
The FortiGate 70G integrates firewalling, SD-WAN, and security in one appliance, making it ideal for distributed enterprise branch sites requiring higher throughput and WAN architecture transformation at any scale.
The 70G series runs on FortiOS, the industry’s first converged networking and security operating system. This single OS approach enables businesses to gain operational efficiency and unified protection from the seamless integration of Fortinet Solutions within a Hybrid Mesh Firewall architecture.
As a cornerstone of the Fortinet Security Fabric platform, the FortiGate NGFW works seamlessly with FortiGuard AI-Powered Security Services to deliver coordinated, automated, end-to-end threat protection in real time.
The 70G is built on the patented SD-WAN-based ASIC SP5, which delivers unmatched performance over traditional CPUs with lower cost and reduced power consumption. This application-specific design and embedded multi-core processor accelerate the convergence of networking and security functions to optimise secure connections and deliver a robust user experience at branch locations.

Highlights:

FortiGuard AI-Powered Security Services is part of Fortinet’s layered defense and tightly integrated into our FortiGate NGFWs and other products. Infused with the latest threat intelligence from FortiGuard Labs, these services protect organizations against modern attack vectors and threats, including zero-day and sophisticated AI-powered attacks.

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.

Intuitive easy to use view into the network and endpoint vulnerabilities

Comprehensive view of network performance, security, and system status

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.
