Next-Generation Firewall (NGFW)
The FortiGate FG-101E is equipped with Fortinet’s FortiOS operating system and FortiGuard services, providing enhanced security for detecting and mitigating threats in real time. The FG-101E runs on FortiOS, offering advanced security functionality such as traffic shaping, VPN management, application control, and deep packet inspection. The appliance can identify and control thousands of applications running over your network, ensuring that unauthorised or potentially harmful applications are blocked. Integrated with VPN supports site-to-site and client-to-site VPN functionality, enabling secure remote access for employees.
Integrated Security Features
Designed for smaller enterprises, the FortiGate FG-101E offers enterprise-grade security at a more accessible price point. It is designed to protect against known and unknown threats using IPS, antivirus, and web filtering technology. This feature combines a firewall, VPN, antivirus, web filtering, intrusion prevention system (IPS), and application control within a single appliance. The Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) scans network traffic for potential threats and blocks malicious activity in real-time. Web Filtering provides control over web access by categorising websites and blocking inappropriate or dangerous content. The Antivirus Protection scans incoming and outgoing traffic for malware and viruses to prevent infections from spreading. With Zero Trust Access, the FortiGate FG-101E enables Zero Trust security models, limiting access based on identity and contextual information. Also, it utilises FortiGuard’s global threat intelligence to ensure continuous protection against emerging and sophisticated threats.
High Throughput and Performance
This FortiGate FG-101E firewall offers powerful throughput performance, ensuring it does not become a bottleneck in your network infrastructure. It includes hardware acceleration for high throughput and low latency, ensuring secure connections without compromising performance. The Firewall Throughput is up to 3 Gbps, and the VPN throughput is up to 500 Mbps, while the IPS Throughput is up to 800 Mbps with a concurrent session of 1.5 million.
