Fortinet Antivirus Firewalls for Real Time Network Protection

What is a firewall and why do you need one?

A firewall is a device or application that protects the resources of a private network from users and external threats from other networks. If you have connectivity to the Internet, you need a firewall to protect your network.

What is the Fortinet Antvirus Firewall?

Fortinet’s award-winning FortiGate series of ASIC-accelerated Antivirus Firewalls are the new generation of real-time network protection systems.

They detect and eliminate the most damaging, content-based threats from email and Web traffic such as viruses, worms, intrusions, inappropriate Web content and more in real time without degrading network performance.

Why are we recommending Fortigate Firewalls?

These firewalls are fantastic for all sizes of business. They can be used to connect multiple offices with Internet connectivity or just in a single office to provide virus-filtered access to the Internet. All models have a built in VPN module so that remote users can access the office network - making life easier for salespeople and other remote users. Previously, if you wanted a firewall, VPN, intrusion detection and anti virus solution, you would have needed several devices - Fortinet can offer one device that includes everything.

For single offices, Waytime can help you to decide which model of firewall is best suited to your business and configure it to protect your network. We can also manage your firewall so that we are the first to know if there are any problems with it. If you have remote users, we can configure their PCs to connect to the office network.

For multiple offices we can:

help you decide which models are suitable for your business

configure the firewalls so that they can talk to each other over the Internet (i.e. create a virtual private network)

configure each office network to take advantage of the VPN

configure laptops for remote users so that they can access the office network

offer 24x7 management of the firewalls

All FortiGate Antivirus Firewalls employ Fortinet’s unique FortiASIC™ content processing chip and the powerful, secure, FortiOS™ operating system to achieve breakthrough price/performance.

The unique, ASIC-based architecture analyzes content and behavior in real time, enabling key applications to be deployed right at the network edge, where they are most effective at protecting enterprise networks. As the only systems in the world that are certified by the ICSA for antivirus, IPSec, firewall and intrusion detection functionality, FortiGate systems deliver the highest level of security available.

They add a critical layer of real-time, network-based antivirus protection that complements host-based antivirus software and supports "defense-in-depth" strategies without compromising performance or cost. They can be deployed for antivirus protection and content filtering alone in conjunction with exisiting firewall, VPN, and related devices, or as complete network protection systems with just a simple configuration change.
