The FortiGate 50G series is engineered to transform WAN architecture and provide robust perimeter protection for distributed enterprise locations. As a cornerstone of the Fortinet Security Fabric, this appliance integrates advanced networking features like SD-WAN with enterprise-grade security into a single operating system, FortiOS. This unified approach eliminates security silos, reduces operational complexity, and ensures consistent protection across hybrid environments.
Built on the patented Secure SD-WAN ASIC SP5, the 50G delivers high-speed threat protection and deep SSL inspection with high performance. This bundle specifically includes 1 Year FortiCare Premium and FortiGuard Enterprise Protection, providing AI-powered security services such as IPS, anti-malware protection, URL and DNS filtering, and OT security to defend against modern threats.
High-Performance Secure Networking Powered by SP5 ASIC
- Accelerated Security Performance: Delivers firewall throughput of 5 / 5 / 4 Gbps (1518/512/64 byte UDP packets) and threat protection of 1.1 Gbps to keep security from becoming a bottleneck.
- Converged Networking and Security: Combines NGFW capabilities with integrated SD-WAN and wireless controller features in a single, energy-efficient device.
- AI-Powered Protection: FortiGuard Labs blocks over 500 million malicious/phishing/spam URLs weekly and blocks 32,000 botnet command-and-control attempts every minute.
- Advanced Physical Security: Features a Trusted Platform Module (TPM) for secure cryptographic key storage and a signed firmware switch to help ensure system integrity.
- Efficient Branch Operations: Built-in Secure SD-WAN ASIC SP5 accelerates application identification and steering for a robust user experience.
- Simplified Management: Supports zero-touch provisioning and centralized visibility via FortiManager and FortiGate Cloud.
- Sustainable Design: Energy-efficient SPU technology leads to lower power consumption and improved TCO, with third-party verified Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) compliance.
