Inspire Potential

This area includes the core FortiGate Next-Generation Firewalls (NGFWs), which use custom Application-Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC) technology for high performance. It also covers FortiSwitch devices for secure Ethernet switching, FortiAP wireless access points, and FortiExtender 5G/LTE gateways. Fortinet is also a leader in Secure SD-WAN (Software-Defined Wide Area Network) solutions.

Core Components of Fortinet Enterprise Networks

FortiGate Next-Generation Firewalls (NGFW)

The foundation of the network, providing AI-powered threat protection and deep packet inspection.

Secure SD-WAN

Converges WAN optimization with integrated security to provide direct-to-cloud connectivity and application-aware routing.

Secure LAN Edge

Uses FortiSwitch and FortiAP to extend security to the access layer, managed directly from the FortiGate.

Zero-Trust Network Access (ZTNA)

Provides continuous verification for users and devices accessing corporate applications, regardless of their location.

Core Platform Products

FortiSIEM

A Next-Gen SIEM that provides enterprise-wide visibility by aggregating logs and correlating data from IT and OT environments for real-time threat detection.

FortiSOAR

An orchestration platform that automates incident response through playbooks, reducing the manual workload for security analysts.

FortiAnalyzer

Acts as a unified data lake, providing centralized logging, analytics, and reporting for the lean security team.

FortiAI-Assist

A GenAI security assistant that guides analysts through investigations and automates complex tasks to speed up response times.

Core AI-Powered Services

Inline Malware Prevention: Uses AI/ML to perform sub-second, real-time inspection of files, holding suspicious content at the gateway until it is verified safe.
Intrusion Prevention System (IPS): Employs deep packet inspection and virtual patching to block known and suspicious network-level attacks before they reach internal devices.
Web & DNS Security: Leverages AI-driven behavioral analysis to identify and block malicious URLs and domains with near-zero false negatives.
Data Loss Prevention (DLP): Monitors for sensitive information across the network to prevent data breaches and unauthorized exfiltration, including risks from Shadow AI usage.
Attack Surface Security: Continuously assesses and scores the security posture of your infrastructure, including connected IoT/OT devices, against compliance frameworks.

Core Platform Pillars

The platform is structured around three strategic pillars to reduce risk and simplify management

Secure Networking: High-performance, Ruggedized FortiGate Firewalls and switches (FortiSwitch) designed for harsh environments (extreme temperatures, vibration, and EMI) to segment networks and protect legacy assets.
Zero Trust Access: Implements “never trust, always verify” through Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA), FortiPAM for secure third-party remote access, and FortiAuthenticator for multi-factor identity management.
Security Operations (SecOps): Leverages AI-driven tools like FortiSIEM and FortiSOAR to provide OT-specific threat mapping and faster incident response times—reportedly cutting response times by up to 99%.
