Fortinet FortiGate-6500F/FortiGate-6501F Nairobi

Digital enterprises are processing vast amounts of encrypted traffic and content rich data along with an increased emphasis on optimized user experiences. The digital attack surface has spawned new, complex forms of attacks that require advanced protection to be applied at anytime, anywhere the threat is discovered. Today’s next-generation firewalls (NGFWs) must reliably handle large volumes of network and cloud traffic, provide consolidated advanced security in a smaller, more efficient physical footprint, and accommodate new security requirements such as extensive inspection of encrypted traffic for sophisticated malware without impacting performance.

The new Fortinet firewall FortiGate 6000 NGFW appliances feature the latest Fortinet innovation, to deliver leading edge security, performance, and connectivity for the most demanding network needs. The 6000 series combines unprecedented threat protection and SSL inspection performance in an easy to manage, compact appliance.

Fortinet firewall FortiGate-6500F in Nairobi identifies thousands of applications inside network traffic for deep inspection and granular policy enforcement. It not only protects your network system against malware, exploits, and malicious websites in both encrypted and non-encrypted traffic, but also prevents and detects against known attacks using continuous threat intelligence from AI-powered FortiGuard Labs security services. It also proactively blocks unknown sophisticated attacks in real-time with the Fortinet Security Fabric integrated AI-powered FortiSandbox.
