Fortinet has 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. It has 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.
"Enterprises, especially organizations with large and labyrinthine infrastructures, are rapidly evolving their network security beyond the binary 'allow/deny' model championed within standard firewall technologies," said Charles Kolodgy, Research Vice-President, Security Products, IDC. "Due to increasingly complex threats and network connectivity requirements, sophisticated and granular multi-threat prevention that is capable of operating at wire speed is becoming an absolute necessity. That said, enterprise customers are growing weary of having to manage discrete security devices and technologies."
