Description
Fortigate900G Next Generation Firewall Kenya
The Fortigate900G Kenya Next-Generation Firewall (NGFW) redefines network security with advanced AI-powered threat protection and cutting-edge machine learning (ML) capabilities, delivering high-performance security at any scale. Designed to offer organizations deep visibility and real-time monitoring, this robust solution empowers businesses to proactively identify applications, users, and devices on the network—preventing potential threats before they materialize.
AI/ML-Enhanced Security Integrated with the Fortinet Security Fabric
The Fortigate900G Kenya goes beyond conventional firewall capabilities by leveraging an integrated AI/ML-driven security fabric. This approach ensures seamless communication between security layers, providing broad, deep, and automated protection across your entire infrastructure. From endpoint to cloud, FortiGate’s advanced protection secures every segment of your network. It simplifies operations and reduces risks through dynamic network segmentation and secure SD-WAN technologies—crucial for managing the complexities of modern hybrid IT environments.
Holistic Edge-to-Edge Protection
With the Fortigate900G, organizations can benefit from comprehensive edge protection, covering all aspects of web, content, and device security. Whether you’re managing remote access, cloud services, or internal applications, this NGFW ensures that your entire network is safeguarded. Its capability to enforce granular access policies through Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) enables organizations to verify and authenticate users seamlessly, restricting access to only validated identities. This significantly minimizes lateral movement within the network and mitigates insider or compromised-user threats.
High-Performance Threat Detection Without Sacrificing Speed
The Fortigate900G is engineered for ultra-fast threat detection and SSL/TLS inspection, ensuring robust security at the network perimeter without compromising performance. It offers real-time protection against malware, ransomware, and other evolving threats, all while maintaining smooth operations. The advanced SSL inspection provides deep packet visibility, even for encrypted traffic, ensuring that hidden threats are uncovered and neutralized before they impact your systems.
Simplify Security While Reducing Complexity
The Fortigate900G NGFW stands out for its ability to unify security and networking functionalities into a single, streamlined platform. By integrating secure SD-WAN capabilities, businesses can optimize traffic between branches, data centers, and cloud environments with ease. This reduces operational overhead, increases reliability, and ensures continuous protection, even in highly distributed environments.
The Fortigate900G Kenya offers organizations the next level of intelligent, scalable, and high-speed security. With AI/ML-powered threat protection, Zero Trust access controls, secure SD-WAN, and deep SSL inspection, businesses can achieve comprehensive security with reduced complexity, safeguarding their assets from the network core to the edge.
Hardware Features
Trusted Platform Module (TPM)
The Fortinet 900G Kenya features a dedicated module that hardens physical networking appliances by generating, storing,and authenticating cryptographic keys. Hardware-based security mechanisms protect against malicious software and phishing attacks.
Access Layer Security
FortiLink protocol enables you to converge security and the network access by integrating the FortiSwitch into the FortiGate as a logical extension of the NGFW. These FortiLink enabled ports can be reconfigured as regular ports as needed.
