By intercepting and inspecting network traffic at wire speeds, the FortiGate 1000C helps you identify and remove threats hidden within legitimate application traffic. With firewall performance of 20 Gbps and IPS throughput of 6 Gbps, the FortiGate 1000C is ideal for mid-to-large enterprise deployments. The FortiGate 1000C delivers the performance you need to control your organization’s applications, data, and users without becoming a network bottleneck. The Power of Unified Threat Management (UTM) The FortiGate 1000C security platform delivers industry-leading performance and flexibility. You can deploy the right blend of essential hardware-accelerated security technologies now and in the future to meet your evolving network requirements. These technologies include firewall, VPN, intrusion prevention, application control, and web content filtering, all managed from a ‘single pane of glass’ management console. The FortiGate-1000C also includes additional security technologies such as antivirus/antimalware, antispam, vulnerability management, and WAN optimization, allowing you to consolidate stand-alone devices. The FortiGate-1000C gives you the ability to identify and stop numerous types of threats from a single device. For example, advanced application control enables you to define and enforce policies for thousands of applications running across your network, regardless of port or protocol used. Data leakage prevention technology, using a sophisticated pattern-matching engine, helps identify and prevent the accidental or intentional transfer of sensitive information outside of network perimeters, even when applications encrypt their communications. The high port density and types of ports of the FortiGate-1000C gives you the freedom to create multiple security zones for various departments, users, access methods, and even devices. There are eight (8) shared RJ-45/SFP Gigabit Ethernet ports for deployment flexibility, as well as two (2) bypass-protected port to preserve network availability in the event of a device failure. In addition, 120 GB of onboard flash memory lets you deploy WAN optimization to reduce bandwidth consumption across your WAN connection, enable local reporting, or archive content locally.
