Fortinet FortiGate 40F NextGEN Firewall (FG-40F) Description
Designed to provide robust cybersecurity and optimised WAN performance for smaller-scale deployments, the Fortinet FortiGate 40F NextGEN Firewall (FG-40F) is designed for small to mid-sized businesses, branch offices, and teleworker environments. This device is a next-generation firewall (NGFW) with a fast and secure SD-WAN solution that converges networking and security functions into a single, affordable, and easy-to-deploy solution. This security appliance is equipped with 5 x GE RJ45 ports, including 1 x WAN / DMZ, 3 x Internal Ports, and 1 x FortiLink port, allowing you to connect compatible devices. Built-in with Security Processing Unit (SPU) technology (FortiASIC SOC4), the system delivers industry-leading threat protection and ultra-low latency, even for SSL-encrypted traffic. It includes TLS 1.3 deep inspection, an encryption protocol that secures most internet communications, notably HTTPS (HTTP over SSL/TLS), to ensure that data exchanged between a client and a server remains private and untampered. The FortiGate 40F features an intuitive management console that reduces the learning curve for administrators, allowing them to quickly configure, monitor, and troubleshoot the device. It supports both Gateway-to-Gateway and IPSec VPNs, providing comprehensive security for all IP traffic flowing through the tunnel. This device is powered by FortiOS, Fortinet's operating system, which enables a wide range of security and networking features. It offers a compact, fanless desktop form factor, making it ideal for quiet and space-constrained environments.
Integrated SD-WAN
The FortiGate 40F isn't just a firewall; it's also a Secure SD-WAN (Software-Defined Wide Area Network) solution. It can intelligently manage traffic across multiple WAN connections (like MPLS, broadband internet, 5G/LTE, etc.) to optimise performance and ensure high availability for applications. The SD-WAN allows the FortiGate 40F to prioritise critical business applications, e.g., VoIP, cloud applications, over less critical traffic, which can dynamically select the best path for traffic based on real-time network conditions like latency, jitter, and packet loss to ensure a smooth user experience.
High Performance
At the heart of the FortiGate 40F's impressive performance lies Fortinet's custom-built Security Processing Unit (SPU) technology, specifically the FortiASIC SOC4 (System-on-a-Chip 4), which is a specialised chip designed by Fortinet specifically to accelerate security functions. The FortiASIC SOC4 delivers industry-leading threat protection and ultra-low latency, even for SSL-encrypted traffic, allowing the FortiGate 40F to maintain high throughput even when all security features are enabled.
Comprehensive Security
The FortiGate 40F provides a multi-layered security approach to protect against a wide range of cyber threats. This includes traditional security functions like firewalls and VPNs, but also advanced features that leverage artificial intelligence (AI) and continuous threat intelligence. It offers advanced threat protection against malware, exploits, and malicious websites, both encrypted and non-encrypted traffic, through continuous threat intelligence from AI-powered FortiGuard Labs security services. With Security Fabric Integration, the system provides broad visibility, integrated AI-driven breach prevention, automated operations, orchestration, and response across the entire Fortinet ecosystem.
Simplified Management
Featuring an intuitive management console for comprehensive network automation and visibility, the Fortinet 40F includes Zero Touch Provisioning and integration with the Fortinet Security Fabric for single-pane-of-glass management. The intuitive management console reduces the learning curve for administrators, allowing them to quickly configure, monitor, and troubleshoot the device, making it ideal for small businesses that may not have dedicated cybersecurity staff. The console provides a clear, single view of network activity, security events, and performance metrics, helping administrators understand the security posture and quickly identify any issues.
