Fortinet® antivirus technology combines advanced signature and heuristic detection engines to provide multi-layered, real-time protection against both new and evolving virus, spyware, and other types of malware attacks in web, email, and file transfer traffic. The FortiASIC™ content processor integrated into FortiGate® and FortiWifi™ products accelerates both signature scanning and heuristics/anomaly detection for virus / malware protection while delivering performance that scales from entry-level appliances to multi-gigabit core network or data center platforms. The FortiGuard® threat research team and global distributed network provides industry-leading antivirus signature updates for comprehensive protection against all types of content-level threats.
