Fortinet Joins RSA Security Partner Program

This most recent validation from RSA Security further strengthens Fortinets already impressive, integrated capabilities for implementing secure connections to critical data resources. Thousands of customers worldwide use Fortinets products to implement high performance, secure virtual private networks (VPNs) for remote workers and partners. To support these applications, FortiGate and FortiWiFi platforms include ICSA-certified IPSec VPN functionality, along with ICSA-certified antivirus, firewall, and intrusion detection capabilities. This ensures that VPN tunnels cannot be used to transport viruses, worms, Trojans or other content-based threats. In addition, many organizations use Fortinets granular policy and multi-zone capabilities to segment internal networks and limit access to key servers and applications only to designated employees. The RSA Secured certification adds the power of two-factor authentication to this broad range of security functions, and ensures that only authorized users can connect to critical data resources - whether from outside the company or within. Fortinets FortiGate and FortiWiFi series of ASIC-accelerated antivirus firewalls detect and eliminate the most damaging, content-based threats from email and Web traffic such as viruses, worms, intrusions, inappropriate Web content, all in real-time without degrading network performance. The FortiGate and FortiWiFi systems deliver a full range of network-level services, including firewall, VPN, intrusion detection and traffic shaping, as well as application-level services such as antivirus and content filtering, in dedicated, easily managed platforms.
