Unified Protection, Smarter Response.

Cybercriminals are increasingly targeting home workers, small offices, and remote sites, putting pressure on organisations with limited IT support. FortiGate entry‑level next‑generation firewalls provide a powerful way to counter these threats, combining advanced security processors with AI‑driven protection to deliver continuous, comprehensive defence at the network edge.

FortiOS, the real‑time operating system behind the Fortinet Security Fabric, unifies policy enforcement and visibility across on‑premises, cloud, hybrid, and converged IT, OT, and IoT environments. By consolidating security functions into a single platform, it reduces complexity, removes silos, and improves operational efficiency. Integrated generative AI enhances traffic analysis, speeds up anomaly detection, and supports precise remediation without compromising performance.

Every FortiGate appliance is ISO 27001‑certified and engineered to maintain stable, disruption‑free network operation. A great choice for your business!

Who is it for? 

FortiGate Next-Generation Firewall solutions offer one of the widest selections on the market. Compact and reliable, they are designed to fit seamlessly into any setting.

Boasting exceptional network and security performance in a single unified and scalable platform, each entry-level NGFW appliance offers flexible deployments across physical, virtualised, and cloud environments. They suit desktops or can be wall mounted depending upon your unique requirements.

IDEAL FOR data centres, enterprise campus, SOHO, and branch offices.

How to choose your firewall:

Real‑world firewall usage varies wildly, and lab conditions can struggle to reflect the demands of busy networks. This poses a challenge when choosing the best entry‑level firewall for your network.

The smartest approach is to base your decision on the slowest published speed.

To estimate true performance under heavy load, take the SSL Inspection Performance figure and divide it by two — for example, 310 Mbps becomes
roughly 155 Mbps.

Selecting a model rated above your internet speed ensures smoother performance, and if you ever need extra throughput, you can disable certain security services to boost speed.
