The FortiGate 50G series is engineered to transform WAN architecture and provide perimeter protection for distributed enterprise locations. As a cornerstone of the Fortinet Security Fabric, this firewall integrates advanced networking features like SD-WAN with security into a single operating system, FortiOS, to help ensure consistent protection across hybrid environments.
Powered by the Secure SD-WAN ASIC SP5, the 50G delivers high-speed threat protection and deep SSL inspection with performance optimized beyond traditional CPU-based designs. This bundle includes five years of FortiCare Premium and FortiGuard Enterprise Protection, while FortiGuard AI-Powered Security Services provide layered capabilities such as IPS, anti-malware, web/DNS security, and OT security to help defend against modern threats.
High-Performance Secure Networking Powered by SP5 ASIC Technology
