Fortinet has announced a major new release of its FortiWebT Web application firewall (WAF) family for enterprises, application service, Software as a Service (SaaS) and managed security service providers (MSSPs). Fortinet's new FortiWeb 4.0 MR3 appliances integrate a Web vulnerability scanner and advanced application load balancing features in a single device to significantly reduce deployment times and resource utilization while improving application performance.
Fortinet is also introducing the FortiWeb-3000CFsx appliance, which now provides large enterprises, application service and cloud-based service providers with enhanced performance through its fiber fail open interface.
"Our worldwide customer base has made it clear that Web application protection is a very high priority. At the same time, given the IT and security resource constraints, we are hearing loud and clear the need to consolidate key functionality into a single, multi-purpose appliance that can be managed on a unified basis for deployment simplicity, optimal data protection and maximum resource utilization. The introduction of our new FortiWeb product family underscores our commitment to meeting global customer demands," said Michael Xie, Founder, CTO & VP, Engineering, Fortinet.
