Fortinet brings enhancements to its solution

BANGALORE, INDIA: Fortinet, has announced enhancements to its FortiClient solution, which enables every device - local or remote, stationary or mobile – to be protected anytime, anywhere.

In addition, Fortinet’s two new FortiGate 3000 series high-performance firewalls, ideally suited for top-of-rack applications, help protect internal traffic and prevent threats from moving laterally within an organizations’ network.

Fortinet’s extended ATP platform with its FortiClient solution can now seamlessly integrate with FortiSandbox to quickly thwart threats entering at both on-network and off-network endpoint devices.

FortiClient recently received AV Comparatives’ highest Advanced+ rating for file detection, hot on the heals of a top rating in its real-world protection test this past December.

Boasting more than two million users, the FortiClient software employs advanced virus, spyware, heuristic and reputation-based detection engines to prevent both new and evolving threats, on a device, a web site or a physically connected peripheral like a USB drive.

When integrated with FortiSandbox, FortiClient automatically hands off questionable objects for additional inspection, enabling discovery and protection against new malware and zero-day threats, while automatically quarantining malicious files or even the entire device if necessary.

A new management component that helps organizations easily facilitate large scale provisioning, monitoring and administration of endpoint protection will also be available.

Fortinet’s newly announced FortiGate 3000D and FortiGate 3100D Internal Network Firewalls are designed to sit at the top of the rack; leveraging Fortinet’s legendary FortiASIC-driven high performance and extreme port density to enable a level of internal network visibility and protection that no one else in the industry can provide

Featuring up to 32 10-Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) ports all in a compact 2U appliance form factor, the FortiGate 3000D and 3100D reveal insights into internal traffic and help prevent malicious code from moving laterally within an organizations’ network.

This critical layer of security, optionally integrated with FortiSandbox, helps detect and stop cyber criminals from roaming an organization’s internal networks, seeking out valuable data housed in R&D, HR, finance or customer database servers.

The FortiGate solution also actively discovers and reports new zero-day threats and malicious code to Fortinet’s FortiGuard Labs for automatic analysis and remediation, propagating real-time threat protection to Fortinet’s security solutions.
