Fortinet\u00ae<\/a> unveiled the FortiGate 1800F Next-Generation\nFirewall (NGFW) powered by NP7, the company\u2019s seventh generation network\nprocessor, to enable today\u2019s largest enterprises to achieve true internal\nsegmentation as well as unprecedented scale,\nperformance, detection, and enforcement capabilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

John Maddison, EVP of Products and CMO at Fortinet<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe FortiGate 1800F powered by NP7 has a Security Compute Rating ranging from 3x to 20x faster than the comparable product from our competition. This allows our customers to deploy FortiGate 1800F as an internal segmentation firewall and effectively strengthen their security<\/a> posture.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Flat Networks Fall Flat When Attacked<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In today\u2019s data centers, many enterprise architectures\nhave been built on a high-performance routing and switching infrastructure\nwithout integrating security. To facilitate flexibility and agility in this\ntype of environment, networks have become progressively flatter and more open,\nwhich means security implementation within the internal network is, in most\ncases, basic and limited to Virtual LANs and Layer 4 access lists. Therefore, in\nthe event of a security breach, once beyond the security perimeter, hackers can\neasily move about and freely gain access to credentials, resources, and data. More,\nthe lack of security infrastructure within the internal network also\nsignificantly limits the enterprise\u2019s visibility into suspicious traffic\nbehaviors and data flows, which hinders the ability to detect a breach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Internal Segmentation Requires\nExtreme Performance<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today\u2019s enterprises face unprecedented performance\ndemands on their infrastructure that often cannot be matched by existing\nsecurity solutions. For a majority of\nenterprises, traditional security appliances that are built with off-the-shelf CPUs\nand hardware to process security traffic have become an infrastructure\nbottleneck, resulting in degraded user and application experience. Simply put, yesterday\u2019s security\nperformance is no longer enough to secure and enable enterprises at the pace of\ntoday\u2019s business innovation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To meet the extraordinary demands of data center security and enable\na Security-Driven Networking approach, Fortinet is introducing the FortiGate\n1800F NGFW. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

FortiGate 1800F Delivers High\nPerformance Internal Segmentation<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The FortiGate 1800F is powered by\nNP7, the seventh generation of Fortinet\u2019s purpose-built network processor\nspecifically engineered to enable large enterprises to handle unprecedented\nlevels of data and application demands. NP7 offers organizations the ability to\nsegment and launch services, manage internal and external risks, and preserve\nuser experience. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

FortiGate 1800F, is an integral\npart of the Fortinet Security Fabric, and enables several of the highest Security\nCompute Ratings<\/a> to-date: <\/p>\n\n\n\n
