Integrated Threat Management for Smaller Offices 

The FortiGate-50B/51B and FortiWiFi-50B multi-threat security platforms deliver 
comprehensive enterprise-class protection for smaller locations at an affordable 
price. The FortiGate/FortiWiFi-50 series platforms make it easy for you to protect 
your smaller locations, branch offices, customer premise equipment (CPE) and 
retail networks. With the FortiGate platforms’ integrated set of essential security 
technologies, you can deploy a single device that protects all of your applications 
and data. The simple per-device pricing, integrated management console, and 
remote management capabilities significantly reduce your costs associated with 
deploying and managing complete protection. 

The FortiGate multi-threat security platforms deliver an unmatched range of security 
technologies. They integrate firewall, IPSec and SSL VPN, antivirus, antispam, 
intrusion prevention and web filtering into a single device at a single price. They also 
include data loss prevention (DLP), application control, and endpoint NAC. 
In addition, Fortinet’s Global Threat Research Team is on duty around the clock and 
around the world, looking for any changes in the threatscape. It delivers dynamic 
threat updates to protect your network against emerging threats. 
The FortiGate/FortiWiFi-50 series platforms specifically address many policy 
enforcement requirements included in government or industry regulations, such as 
the PCI Data Security Standard. The internal storage in the FortiGate-51B enables 
local caching of data for policy compliance and industry best practices. The internal 
storage also enables WAN optimization, which lowers your networking costs and 
improves your application and network performance by reducing the amount of 
data transmitted over your WAN.

Fortinet’s purpose-built hardware and software prevent your network security from 
becoming your network bottleneck. FortiASIC processors maximize throughput 
while preventing unauthorized access and eliminating unwanted traffic from your 
network. The custom FortiOS operating system minimizes delays in processing your 
data while efficiently enforcing your policies.
