FortiGate™ Antivirus Firewalls are dedicated, hardware-based units that deliver complete, real-time network protection services at the network edge. Based on Fortinet’s revolutionary FortiASIC™ Content Processor chip, the FortiGate platforms are the only systems that can detect and eliminate viruses, worms, and other content-based threats without reducing network performance — even for real-time applications like Web browsing. FortiGate systems also include integrated firewall, content filtering, VPN, intrusion detection and prevention, and traffic shaping functions, making them the most cost effective, convenient, and powerful network protection solutions available.
