Powered by SPU
- Custom SPU processors deliver the power you need to detect malicious content at multi-Gigabit speeds
- Other security technologies cannot protect against today’s wide range of content- and connection-based threats because they rely on general-purpose CPUs, causing a dangerous performance gap
- SPU processors provide the performance needed to block emerging threats, meet rigorous third-party certifications, and ensure that your network security solution does not become a network bottleneck
Network Processor
Fortinet’s new, breakthrough SPU NP6 network processor works inline with FortiOS functions delivering:
- Superior firewall performance for IPv4/IPv6, SCTP and multicast traffic with ultra-low latency down to 2 microseconds
- VPN, CAPWAP and IP tunnel acceleration
- Anomaly-based intrusion prevention, checksum offload and packet defragmentation
- Traffic shaping and priority queuing
Content Processor
Fortinet’s new, breakthrough SPU CP9 content processor works outside of the direct flow of traffic and accelerates the inspection of computationally intensive security features:
- Enhanced IPS performance with unique capability of full signature matching at ASIC
- SSL Inspection capabilities based on the latest industry mandated cipher suites
- Encryption and decryption offloading
Deployment:
Next Generation Firewall (NGFW)
- Security gateway to the Internet for enterprises
- Enforce security policies with granular control and visibility of users and devices for thousands of discrete applications
- Identify and stop threats with powerful intrusion prevention beyond port and protocol that examines the actual content of your network traffic
Internal Segmentation Firewall (ISFW)
- Segmentation solution for end-to-end protection against threats while meeting compliance requirements
- High port density and accelerated traffic processing capacity, to protect multiple segments without compromising performance
- Deploy transparently and rapidly into existing environments with minimal disruption
Data Center Firewall and IPS (DCFW-IPS)
