The FortiGate 50G series is designed to transform WAN architecture and provide robust perimeter protection for distributed enterprise locations. As a cornerstone of the Fortinet Security Fabric, it integrates networking and security into a single operating system, FortiOS. This approach eliminates security silos and enhances operational efficiency through automated workflows and deep analytics.
Powered by the patented Secure SD-WAN ASIC SP5 and FortiOS, the 50G delivers high-speed performance over traditional CPU-based firewalls while reducing power consumption. This bundle includes one year of FortiCare Premium and FortiGuard Unified Threat Protection (UTP), providing integrated security services such as IPS, anti-malware protection, and URL/DNS filtering to help protect against modern threats.
