Fortinet intrusion prevention technology, available in all FortiGate® and FortiWifi™ platforms, can be installed at the network edge or at the network core to protect critical business applications from both external and internal attacks. Backed by the automatic, real-time updates delivered by the FortiGuard® Intrusion Prevention Service, FortiGate IPS technology combines a customizable database of thousands of known threats to stop attacks that evade conventional firewall defenses, plus anomaly-based detection that enables the system to recognize threats for which no signature has yet been developed. The combination of known and unknown threat prevention, plus tight integration with other Fortinet security technologies, enables FortiGate systems to stop the most damaging attacks at security check points regardless of whether the network is a wired, wireless, partner extranet, or branch office network connection.

• FortiASIC™ processors accelerates intrusion prevention performance, enabling it to scale from SOHO appliances to multi-gigabit core network or data center platforms.

• Combined signature and protocol anomaly detection protects against known and unknown threats, with support for more than 1000 protocols and applications.

• Automatic updates of attack signatures from FortiGuard Intrusion Prevention Service keeps organizations ahead of the latest threats.

• Simple per-device/unlimited-user licensing delivers reduced total cost of ownership.

• Available centralized management and reporting reduce capital and operational expenditures for intrusion prevention.

• Detailed logging and reporting aid in auditing and forensic analysis.

• High-availability support for uninterrupted service.

• Available bypass modules on select FortiGate appliances provide an additional layer of network availability for mission-critical network segments.
