19/05/2010

Fortinet® - a leading network security provider and worldwide leader of unified threat management (UTM) solutions – today announced two new flagship multi-threat security appliances that consolidate best-in-class firewall and Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) performance with advanced application-based security protection that is purpose-built for large enterprises.

The new FortiGate-3950B appliance delivers up to 120 Gbps of low-latency firewall inspection performance to help secure the most demanding enterprise environments, including high-speed data centers and network perimeters. Fortinet also announced the FortiGate-3951B appliance, which incorporates internal storage and can scale up to 100 Gbps of firewall performance. Both appliances feature a modular form factor for performance-on-demand and integrate the industry’s broadest array of network and content security services to deliver complete content protection at a granular level. With today’s announcement, Fortinet continues to advance the state of security from simple firewall “permit/block” functionality to ultra high-performance threat identification and prevention, with the added benefit of policy enforcement down to the application level. This is made possible through the integration of content-aware security technologies into the firewall to identify threats within trusted communications.
