Fortinet Next-Generation Firewalls (NGFWs) streamline operations, reducing complexity, and decreasing total cost of ownership while facilitating scalable deployments across various network environments, including the network edge, data centers, internal segments, and distributed branches.

In the face of evolving cyber threats targeting cloud infrastructure and digital transformation initiatives, FortiGates serve as the cornerstone of the Fortinet Security Fabric, defending organizations against both known and unknown attacks across the entire attack surface.

Key Components of Fortinet Next-Generation Firewall:

1. Web Application Firewall (WAF):
   Protects against vulnerabilities in web applications, which are often exploited by hackers. FortiWeb utilizes a multi-layered approach to defend against the OWASP Top 10 threats and more, leveraging threat intelligence from FortiGuard Labs.

   - Defends against OWASP Top-10 threats, DDoS attacks, and other sophisticated threats.
   - Delivers industry-leading WAF throughputs and rapid secure traffic encryption/decryption.

2. Enhanced Security Features:
   Utilizes bots, URL and data pattern analysis, and heuristic detection engines to safeguard applications against a variety of threats, including SQL injection, cross-site scripting, buffer overflows, and DoS attacks.

To ensure superior protection, visibility, and performance, Fortinet combines advanced threat intelligence from FortiGuard Labs with the intuitive FortiOS Operating System and purpose-built security processors. This combination provides consolidated and intuitive control, accelerated performance with Security Processor Units (SPUs), and industry-leading security capabilities.

By leveraging Fortinet NGFWs, organizations can fortify their defenses, mitigate risks, and maintain resilience against evolving cyber threats, thereby safeguarding their critical assets and ensuring operational continuity.
