 "Fortinet Announces New Multi-Threat Security Appliances")
Fortinet, a provider of unified threat management (UTM) solutions, recently introduced the FortiGate-50B, a multi-threat security appliance for enterprise branch offices, retail outlets and small businesses.
The FortiGate-50B incorporates Fortinet’s new FortiASIC to deliver significant increases in antivirus and virtual private networking (VPN) performance over previous FortiGate-50/FortiGate-50A models and adds several new connectivity options for increased availability and configuration flexibility.
As enterprises work to deploy large-scale multi-threat security solutions to lock down their corporate networks, hackers are increasing their focus on the vulnerabilities of the remote/branch offices and retail outlets and small businesses that need equally stringent defence.
However, these smaller outlets often lack the infrastructure and on-site expertise necessary to manage multiple point security products or tackle complex security issues.
The integration of Fortinet’s FortiASIC Content Processor and new system components allow an increase in performance and connectivity options for a system of this size.
New features in the FortiGate-50B deliver customers benefits such as increased performance, increased port density and high-availability.
“Enterprise branch offices are faced with similar network security challenges as their larger counterparts, yet have far less on-site IT resources to manage and maintain their infrastructure,” said Freddy Mangum, vice president of product marketing, Fortinet. “The FortiGate-50B provides the security, performance, connectivity and reliability that an enterprise branch office needs in an integrated, easy to manage solution.”
The FortiGate-50B is available now through Fortinet’s network of channel partners worldwide.
