This enables IT to connect FortiGate with other Fortinet products and enforce security policy without complicated and time-consuming manual configurations. FortiGate gives you centralized control and comprehensive visibility into suspicious activities, abnormal performance, and advanced threats through the FortiGate Cloud management console.

Enterprise-Grade Protection and Performance

With AI-powered FortiGuard Security Services, FortiGate delivers unified protection to detect and stop all types of threats across attack surfaces. Top performance means SSL-inspection does not slow down your network, so you don’t need to choose between security and performance.
