Description
Fortigate901G-DC Next-Generation Firewall Ghana
The Fortigate901G-DC Ghana Next-Generation Firewall (NGFW) leverages state-of-the-art AI-driven security and machine learning (ML) technologies to deliver scalable, high-performance threat protection. With comprehensive network visibility, it empowers organizations to proactively monitor applications, users, and devices, detecting potential risks early to prevent them from escalating into critical threats.
This firewall seamlessly integrates into Fortinet’s Security Fabric platform, providing a broad and unified security solution. Its AI/ML-powered features offer deep, automated protection across multiple layers of the network, including advanced edge defenses, web filtering, content inspection, and endpoint security. The Fortigate901G-DC ensures end-to-end coverage for hybrid IT environments through intelligent network segmentation and secure SD-WAN capabilities, simplifying network management while mitigating risks.
The solution also incorporates Universal Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA), applying strict identity verification and authentication measures to regulate access to applications. This prevents lateral movement attacks by ensuring only authorized users can access specific resources, enhancing the overall security posture.
Furthermore, the Fortigate901G-DC offers high-speed threat protection and SSL decryption to secure traffic at the network’s edge without sacrificing performance. Its optimized architecture makes it ideal for organizations seeking fast, reliable, and uncompromising security solutions, ensuring high performance and robust protection for even the most demanding network environments.
Hardware Features
Trusted Platform Module (TPM)
The Fortigate901G-DC Ghana features a dedicated module that hardens physical networking appliances by generating, storing,and authenticating cryptographic keys. Hardware-based security mechanisms protect against malicious software and phishing attacks.
Access Layer Security
FortiLink protocol enables you to converge security and the network access by integrating the FortiSwitch into the FortiGate as a logical extension of the NGFW. These FortiLink enabled ports can be reconfigured as regular ports as needed.
