FortiOS Everywhere
FortiOS, Fortinets Real-Time Network Security Operating System
FortiOS enables the convergence of high performing networking and security across the
Fortinet Security Fabric. Because it can be deployed anywhere, it delivers consistent and
context-aware security posture across network, endpoint, and multi-cloud environments.
FortiOS powers all FortiGate deployments whether a physical or virtual device, as a container,
or as a cloud service. This universal deployment model enables the consolidation of many
technologies and use cases into organically built best-of-breed capabilities, unified operating
system, and ultra-scalability. The solution allows organizations to protect all edges, simplify
operations, and run their business without compromising performance or protection.
FortiOS dramatically expands the Fortinet Security Fabrics ability to deliver advanced AI/ML
powered services, inline advanced sandbox detection, integrated ZTNA enforcement, and
more. It provides protection across hybrid deployment models for hardware, software, and
Software-as-a-Service with SASE.
FortiOS expands visibility and control, ensures the consistent deployment and enforcement of
a simplified, single policy and management framework. Its security policies enable centralized
management across large-scale networks with the following key attributes:
Interactive drill-down and topology viewers that display real-time status
On-click remediation that provides accurate and quick protection against threats and abuses
Unique threat score system correlates weighted threats with users to prioritize investigations
Secure Any Edge at Any Scale
Powered by The Only Purpose-Built Security Processing Unit (SPU)
Traditional firewalls cannot protect against todays content- and connection-based threats
because they rely on off-the-shelf hardware and general-purpose CPUs, causing a dangerous
performance gap. Fortinets custom SPU processors deliver the power you needup to
520Gbpsto detect emerging threats and block malicious content while ensuring your network
security solution does not become a performance bottleneck.
