Description
Fortigate901G Next-Generation Firewall Kenya
The Fortigate901G Kenya Next-Generation Firewall (NGFW) leverages advanced artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) technologies to provide comprehensive threat protection across networks of any scale. With its powerful detection capabilities, it offers deep visibility into network activities, proactively identifying applications, users, and devices before they can become potential threats, ensuring a robust security posture.
This NGFW is built on a rich AI/ML-powered security framework that integrates seamlessly into Fortinet’s Security Fabric platform, providing a holistic approach to security that is broad, deep, and highly automated. It offers end-to-end protection with advanced edge security features, encompassing web filtering, content inspection, and device-level security. Additionally, it simplifies hybrid IT management by employing intelligent network segmentation and secure SD-WAN to minimize complexity and mitigate operational risks.
The platform’s built-in Universal Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) ensures dynamic, automated control over user access to critical applications. It authenticates and verifies users continuously, mitigating the risk of lateral movement by granting access only to authorized individuals. High-performance features such as ultra-fast threat detection and comprehensive SSL/TLS inspection ensure robust edge security, maintaining visibility into encrypted traffic without compromising network performance. The Fortigate901G Kenya NGFW delivers optimal protection and efficiency, making it an ideal solution for organizations requiring scalable, secure, and future-proof networking infrastructure.
Hardware Features
Trusted Platform Module (TPM)
The Fortigate901G 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.
