Fortinet is a worldwide provider of network security appliances and the market leader in unified threat management (UTM*). Their products and subscription services provide broad, integrated and high-performance protection against dynamic security threats while simplifying the IT security infrastructure. Their customers include enterprises, service providers and government entities worldwide, including the majority of the 2009 Fortune Global 100. Fortinet's flagship FortiGate product delivers ASIC-accelerated performance and integrates multiple layers of security designed to help protect against application and network threats. Fortinet's broad product line goes beyond UTM to help secure the extended enterprise - from endpoints, to the perimeter and the core, including databases and applications. Fortinet is headquartered in Sunnyvale, Calif., with offices around the world..
Fortinet's flagship FortiGateŽ security platforms offer a powerful blend of ASIC-accelerated performance, integrated multi-threat response, and constantly-updated, in-depth threat intelligence. Employing innovative technologies for networking, security and content analysis, Fortinet systems integrate the industry's broadest suite of security technologies, including firewall, VPN, antivirus, intrusion prevention (IPS), Web filtering, antispam, and traffic shaping, all of which can be deployed individually to complement legacy solutions or combined for a comprehensive threat management solution. The company complements these solutions with an array of management, analysis, e-mail, database and end-point security products.
A key differentiator, Fortinet's custom-built FortiASIC content and network processors enable FortiGate systems to detect and eliminate even complex, blended threats in real time without degrading network performance, while an extensive set of complementary management, analysis, database and endpoint protection solutions increases deployment flexibility, assists in compliance with industry and government regulations, and reduces the operational costs of security management.
Fortinet was founded in 2000 by Ken Xie, the founder, former president and CEO of NetScreen and is led by a strong and seasoned management team with deep experience in networking and security. Fortinet's market position has been validated by widespread recognition by industry analysts, business organizations, and media. |

*Unified Threat Management
UTM solutions emerged out of the need to stem the increasing number of attacks on corporate information systems via hacking, viruses, worms - mostly an outcome of blended threats and insider threats. Also, newer attack techniques target the user as the weakest link in an enterprise, the repercussions of which are far more serious than imagined.
Data security and unauthorized employee access have become major business concerns for enterprises today. This is because malicious intent and the resultant loss of confidential data can lead to huge financial losses as well as corresponding legal liabilities.
The main advantages of UTM solutions are simplicity, streamlined installation and use, and the ability to update all the security functions or programs concurrently. So, not only are they a cost-effective purchase, but day-to-day network running costs are also considerably lowered. Such a great degree of functionality provided by a UTM appliance is held as the justification for the replacement of older, more basic Firewalls in favor of a Unified Threat Management firewall appliance that does it all.
The ultimate goal of a UTM is to provide a comprehensive set of security features in a single product and managed through a single console. Integrated security solutions evolved as a logical way to tackle the increasingly complex blended internet threats impacting organizations.
