Fortinet Milestones

Fortinet was founded in 2000 by Ken Xie, the visionary founder and former
president and CEO of NetScreen (later sold to Juniper for more than $3.5
billion) and is led by a strong and seasoned management team with deep
experience in the networking and security arenas. Fortinet's position as the
leading privately-held network security company has been validated by more than
$100 million in funding from the industry's leading venture capital firms.
The company is headquartered in Sunnyvale, California, with customer support,
development and sales facilities throughout North America, Europe and Asia.
Fortinet sells its system and subscription service products through a network of
channel partners worldwide.

Fortinet offers an array of multi-threat security solutions that help
businesses of all sizes meet their security challenges and enable a safe and
clean communications environment. Fortinet built its comprehensive security
platform from the ground up to provide multiple layers of threat protection and
management. This translates into increased deployment flexibility and better
security through integration, a "future-proof" solution that can easily scale
with business requirements.
Using Fortinet's ASIC innovation and performance acceleration capabilities,
FortiGate systems detect and eliminate the most damaging, content-based threats
from email and Web traffic such as viruses, worms, intrusions, inappropriate Web
content and more in real time - without degrading network performance. FortiGate
systems integrate the industry's broadest suite of security protections -
including firewall, VPN, antivirus, intrusion prevention (IPS), Web filtering,
antispam, and traffic shaping - that can be deployed individually or combined
for a comprehensive unified threat management solution.
Fortinet products enable customers to:
- Protect mission-critical infrastructure from a wide range of attacks
- Reduce the complexity of security infrastructure and solutions
- Limit or reduce costs associated with point product implementations and
maintenance
- Keep up with ever-evolving intrusion and virus threats
- Provide superior multi-threat protection without degrading network
performance
FortiGate ASIC-based multi-threat security systems employ breakthroughs
in networking, security and content analysis. Our architecture analyzes
network content and behavior in real time, enabling all key network services
- including real-time Web applications - to be screened for both network
and content-level threats without impacting network performance. |
