Overview:
The FortiGate 401F Series NGFW combines AI-powered security and machine learning to deliver Threat Protection at any scale. Get deeper visibility into your network and see applications, users, and devices before they become threats.
Powered by a rich set of AI/ML security capabilities that extend into an integrated security fabric platform, the FortiGate 401F Series delivers secure networking that is broad, deep, and automated. Secure your network end to end with advanced edge protection that includes web, content, and device security, while network segmentation and secure SD-WAN reduce complexity and risk in hybrid IT networks.
Universal ZTNA automatically controls, verifies, and facilitates user access to applications, reducing lateral threats by providing access only to validated users. Ultra-fast Threat Protection and SSL Inspection provides security at the edge you can see without impacting performance.
Use Cases
Next Generation Firewall (NGFW)
- FortiGuard Labs’ suite of AI-powered Security Services—natively integrated with your NGFW—secures web, content, and devices and protects networks from ransomware and sophisticated cyberattacks
- Real-time SSL inspection (including TLS 1.3) provides full visibility into users, devices, and applications across the attack surface
- Fortinet’s patented SPU (Security Processing Unit) technology provides industry-leading high-performance protection
Secure SD-WAN
- FortiGate WAN Edge powered by one OS and unified security and management framework and systems transforms and secures WANs
- Delivers superior quality of experience and effective security posture for work-from-any where models, SD-Branch, and cloud-first WAN use cases
- Achieve operational efficiencies at any scale through automation, deep analytics, and self-healing
Universal ZTNA
- Control access to applications no matter where the user is and no matter where the application is hosted for universal application of access policies
- Provide extensive authentications, checks, and enforce policy prior to granting application access—every time
- Agent-based access with FortiClient or agentless access via proxy portal for guest or BYOD
Segmentation
- Dynamic segmentation adapts to any network topology to deliver true end-to-end security—from the branch to the datacenter and across multi-cloud environments
- Ultra-scalable, low latency, VXLAN segmentation bridges physical and virtual domains with Layer 4 firewall rules
- Prevents lateral movement across the network with advanced, coordinated protection from FortiGuard Security Services detects and prevents known, zero-day, and unknown attacks
