WAN Optimization
WAN optimization provides
acceleration for applications traversing slower network connections - which are
typically WANs. The combination of multi-threat security, traffic optimization,
and VPN technologies provides cleaned, accelerated, and secured communications.

Application Control
Application control
uses our dynamic application identification engine that recognizes applications
based on their behavior. By coupling application control policies with
sophisticated security features, administrators can achieve comprehensive
protection with granular and more meaningful policies.

Data Leakage Prevention (DLP)
DLP uses a
sophisticated pattern-matching and regular-expression engine to identify then
prevent the communication of sensitive information outside of the network
perimeter. In addition, DLP technology also provides audit trails for data and
files, which can aid in legislative compliance.

SSL Inspection
SSL inspection ensures protection from malware infection that is camouflaged by secured protocols, allowing the FortiGate to decrypt the data passing through the SSL-encrypted connection. Once decrypted, the data can be passed to FortiOS security engines for inspection |
