Fortinet has announced the newest addition to its next-generation firewall (NGFW) appliance family, the most intelligent and powerful NGFWs in the market. The feature-rich Fort iGATE-3600C offers large enterprises and MSSPs the most advanced network security appliance in the industry.
“As advanced, blended threats become the norm, the consolidation of security applications onto multi-function appliances becomes even more important in order to ensure complete visibility into all traffic. However, organizations need to consider platforms that not only provide the necessary security functionality, but also support high performance metrics at a reasonable cost – both upfront and throughout the lifespan of the appliance,” said John Grady, Research Manager at IDC.
The FortiGate-3600C runs FortiOS 5 and includes next-generation firewall capabilities that feature more control with network, user and device defined policy and integrated security with firewall, IPS, application control and VPN functionality with advanced behavior inspection for improved advanced threat detection
The 3600C can be deployed in a standalone security application mode such as a firewall or as an NGFW that includes firewall, IPS and application control. Additional applications such as virtual private network (VPN) or advanced threat detection, which uses behavioral-based detection in conjunction with a cloud-based reputation system that tracks botnets and elements of their threat life cycle, can easily be enabled and configured.
As far as the availability is concerned, the FortiGate-3600C is available now.
