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.
Built on the patented Secure SD-WAN ASIC SP5, the 50G delivers high-speed performance while reducing power consumption. This bundle includes three years of FortiCare Premium and FortiGuard Unified Threat Protection (UTP) to provide coordinated, AI-powered security services for comprehensive threat protection.
