ASIC-Powered Security at Switching Speeds
The evolution of network security threats has driven the expansion of security
products to include multiple threat recognition systems within a single appliance.
Unified Threat Management systems from Fortinet include firewall, VPN, intrusion
prevention, antivirus, antimalware, antispam and web content filtering to identify
numerous types of threats from a single device. While the ease of use of UTM
products has created a prolific adoption trend, administrators still struggle with
limited physical deployment options due to the available throughput and port density
of mid-range devices.
The FortiGate-620B appliance answers the call of growing enterprise networks
by integrating a purpose-built security processing ASIC, known as the FortiASIC
Network Processor, into the FortiGate system to deliver security throughput at
switching speeds. Sixteen hardware accelerated interfaces (expandable to 20) allow
networks to enforce firewall policy between network segmentation points for layered
security with switch-like performance. An additional purpose-built ASIC, known
as the FortiASIC Content Processor, provides additional acceleration for content
intensive security technologies such as intrusion prevention and antivirus scanning.
The inclusion of an Advanced Mezzanine Card (AMC) expansion slot allows for even
more flexibility, offering additional ASIC-accelerated ports for additional throughput
or disk-based storage for local logging and content archiving. With numerous
accelerated multi-threat security interfaces, organizations can create multiple security
zones for various departments, users, access methods, and even devices to enforce
network security at accelerated speeds.

FortiOS 4.0 Software
Redefines Networks Security
FortiOS 4.0 is a purpose-built
operating system that leverages
the power of specialized FortiASIC
hardware to offer increased levels
of security and performance.
Fortinet developed FortiOS 4.0
software solely for the FortiGate
multi-threat security platform.
FortiOS software enables a
comprehensive suite of security
services – firewall, VPN, intrusion
prevention, antimalware, antispam,
web filtering, application control,
data loss prevention, vulnerability
management, and end point
network access control.
The FortiASIC Advantage
FortiASIC processors power
FortiGate platforms. With exclusive
hardware, the purpose built, high-
performance network, security, and
content processors use intelligent
and proprietary digital engines
to accelerate resource-intensive
security services.
