FortiGate next-generation firewall technology provides comprehensive content and network protection by combining state detection with a full set of powerful security features. Advanced features such as application control, malicious URL detection, anti-virus, IPS, malicious malware detection and VPN, and extreme threat databases, vulnerability management, and flow-based inspection work together to identify and mitigate the latest complex security threats. It also supports direct single root I/O virtualization (SR-IOV) for higher and more consistent performance.
The FortiGate firewall for Amazon Web Services supports “unicast HA” to allow active/passive HA configurations, which can realize high-availability switching scenarios within and across AZs. At the same time, it can help users build Transit VPC scenarios to help customers achieve centralized security control.
