Deep Packet Inspection (DPI)

Inspects all incoming and outgoing traffic for malicious content, such as viruses, malware, and ransomware, ensuring that only legitimate traffic passes through your network

Intrusion Prevention System (IPS)

Identifies and blocks network intrusions, stopping zero-day attacks and exploitation attempts in real-time before they can cause harm

Secure VPN

Enables secure communication channels for remote workers with site-to-site and client-to-site VPN capabilities, providing encryption and preventing eavesdropping

Web Filtering

Blocks access to malicious websites and restricts access to inappropriate content, preventing users from visiting harmful sites that could compromise security

Antivirus and Anti-malware

Scans both inbound and outbound traffic for threats such as viruses, spyware, and trojans, ensuring that malware is stopped before entering or exiting the network

Application Control

Monitors and controls the use of specific applications, preventing high-risk or unauthorized apps from consuming network resources or opening vulnerabilities

Security Feature

How It Protects Your Network

Botnet Protection

Detects and prevents botnet communication by blocking traffic to known command-and-control servers, ensuring that your network isn’t compromised by cybercriminals

SSL Inspection

Decrypts SSL traffic to scan for hidden threats within encrypted communication, ensuring that encrypted traffic does not become a vector for cyberattacks

Advanced Threat Protection

Uses AI-driven threat intelligence to detect new threats by analyzing traffic patterns, identifying advanced persistent threats (APTs) and stopping them before they reach your network

Zero-Day Threat Prevention

Real-time threat detection and response using FortiGuard updates, which protect against unknown vulnerabilities and exploits targeting newly discovered flaws

IPS and Deep Packet Inspection

Continuously monitors network traffic for suspicious activity and known attack signatures, preventing cyber threats from infiltrating your network
