Accelerated Security for the Mid-Enterprise and Branch Office

With the continued evolution of network security threats and the arrival of new 
applications seemingly every day, you need unmatched visibility and control over all 
of your network traffic.  FortiGate Unified Threat Management (UTM) systems from 
Fortinet® give you the ability to improve your security posture and accelerate your 
network performance while simplifying your network infrastructure.
The FortiGate-300C appliance delivers industry-leading performance and flexibility 
with hardware-accelerated essential security technologies, including firewall, VPN, 
intrusion prevention, application control, and web content filtering, all managed 
from a ‘single pane of glass’ console. They also include other security technologies 
such as antivirus/antimalware, antispam, vulnerability management, and WAN 
optimization. The FortiGate-300C gives you the ability to identify and stop numerous 
types of threats from a single device.  

The Power of Accelerated Security

The FortiGate-300C platform delivers the speed and comprehensive security your 
growing enterprise network needs. It integrates a purpose-built security processor, 
the FortiASIC Network Processor, into the FortiGate platform to deliver security 
throughput at switching speeds. Another purpose-built ASIC, the FortiASIC Content 
Processor, provides additional acceleration for content inspection. Eight hardware-
accelerated LAN interfaces with an additional two non-accelerated WAN ports allow 
you to enforce policies between network segments for layered security with switch-
like performance. The numerous accelerated security interfaces give you the freedom 
to create multiple security zones for various departments, users, access methods, 
and even devices, to enforce network security at accelerated speeds.
