Description
Fortigate901G-DC Next-Generation Firewall Kenya
The Fortigate901G-DC Kenya Next-Generation Firewall (NGFW) harnesses cutting-edge AI and machine learning technologies to provide powerful, scalable threat protection. Offering comprehensive visibility across your network, it enables proactive monitoring of applications, users, and devices, ensuring potential risks are identified and mitigated before they escalate into critical threats.
This advanced firewall integrates seamlessly with Fortinet’s Security Fabric platform, bringing together a wide array of AI/ML-powered security features to create a unified, automated security solution. The FortiGate 901G-DC offers extensive protection with capabilities such as edge-to-edge security, web filtering, content inspection, and device security, delivering a holistic approach to safeguarding digital environments. With intelligent network segmentation and secure SD-WAN capabilities, it simplifies network management and minimizes risks, making it ideal for hybrid IT infrastructures. Its layered security model reduces the attack surface, ensuring continuous, adaptive protection.
The firewall’s Universal Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) enforces stringent verification and authentication policies, granting access only to authorized users and resources. This limits lateral movement within the network, significantly reducing the risk of internal breaches. Furthermore, the FortiGate 901G-DC delivers high-speed threat protection, including SSL decryption, to maintain security at the network perimeter without compromising performance.
With its fast, reliable, and automated security framework, the FortiGate 901G-DC is the ideal solution for organizations that demand top-tier protection without sacrificing network speed, ensuring business continuity in today’s dynamic digital landscape.
Hardware Features
Trusted Platform Module (TPM)
The Fortigate901G-DC 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.
