Fortinet<\/a>, a leader in broad, integrated, and automated cybersecurity solutions, announced\u00a0FortiGate 1000F, the latest series of next-generation firewalls (NGFW) from Fortinet to deliver higher performance\u2014more than seven times faster firewall throughput\u2014and lower power consumption\u201483 percent fewer watts per Gbps of firewall throughput\u2014than competitive solutions.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Performance is No Longer the Only Consideration as CIOs Focus on Sustainability<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to\u00a0being chartered to\u00a0maintain\u00a0a resilient and secure hybrid IT environment, most enterprises also have sustainability goals that they have to meet.\u00a0This has added more pressure for CIOs and IT leaders as sustainability and cost control have become an important board-level line item.\u00a0In fact, the Gartner\u00ae Top Strategic Technology Trends for 2023 Sustainable Technology report reveals that, \u201cBy 2025, 50% of CIOs will have performance metrics tied to the sustainability of the IT organization.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Delivering High-Performance, Environmentally Sustainable, and Consistent Security for the Data Center<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As the vendor that received the highest score for the Enterprise Data Center use case in the\u00a02022 Gartner\u00a0Critical Capabilities for Network Firewalls\u00a0report2<\/sup>, and a Leader in\u00a0The Forrester Wave: Enterprise Firewalls, Q4 2022\u00a0report, Fortinet is pleased to announce the FortiGate 1000F series, the latest NGFW for enterprise data centers.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Supported by over 20 years of developing purpose-built security processing units (SPUs), FortiGate 1000F continues Fortinet\u2019s legacy of delivering NGFWs that provide the scale, performance, and power savings to meet the security requirements of today’s enterprise data centers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

High-Performance Security<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fortinet\u2019s purpose-built SPUs enable FortiGate 1000F to deliver an average of 7.4x more firewall throughput to help enterprise security keep pace with the speed of today\u2019s networks. FortiGate 1000F also offers nearly 7x higher IPsec VPN performance and 7x higher SSL inspection throughput than the industry average to ensure network blind spots are eliminated and enterprises have full visibility of clear-text and encrypted network flows without introducing bottlenecks. This is critical for high-performance data centers in order to defend mission-critical data and rapidly identify and stop threats before they infiltrate the network. Additionally, with threat protection performance that is 2x higher than the industry average, FortiGate 1000F processes critical AI\/ML-powered security services such as IPS, Application Control, and Malware Protection faster than other offerings. As is true with Fortinet\u2019s entire line of FortiGate NGFWs, FortiGate 1000F enables secure digital transformation by delivering advanced visibility and control<\/a> over network traffic to support enterprises in building contextual, evolving network and security policies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Environmentally Sustainable Security<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

FortiGate 1000F helps customers achieve their sustainability goals by requiring 83 percent fewer watts per Gbps of firewall throughput and requiring 86 percent fewer watts per Gbps of IPsec VPN throughput. FortiGate 1000F also requires less cooling than other solutions, generating only 15 percent of the BTU\/h per Gbps of firewall throughput compared to competitive firewalls. Fortinet\u2019s high-performance, low-power network firewalls mean that enterprises require fewer firewalls to accomplish their business needs, helping further reduce costs for space and cooling in the data center. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Consistent Security<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

FortiGate 1000F is powered by a single operating system, FortiOS, which provides unified security and management frameworks across all form factors and edges, supporting hybrid environments in a consistent and coordinated way. With FortiOS everywhere, customers benefit from broad visibility, seamless integration and interoperability between critical security elements, and granular control and automation. This includes\u00a0Universal Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA)\u00a0with a built-in ZTNA application gateway, allowing explicit access to applications and enforcing customers’ Zero Trust policies.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Like all\u00a0FortiGate next-generation firewalls, FortiGate 1000F includes a suite of\u00a0FortiGuard AI-powered Security Services\u00a0that are developed and continually enhanced by FortiGuard Labs. For advanced, real-time protection against known and unknown threats in the data center, customers can leverage AI-powered IPS and anti-virus, as well as the industry\u2019s first in-line sandbox protection to stop malware and ransomware from ever entering the network. Enterprise data centers depend on these services to monitor and protect against file-based attack tactics, malware, lateral movement, ransomware, and credential-based attacks.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

FortiGate 1000F vs. Competitors<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Below is a comparison of the top firewalls on the market against the target performance numbers of the FortiGate 1000F series.\u00a0Security Compute Rating<\/a>\u00a0is a benchmark (performance multiplier) that compares FortiGate performance metrics versus the industry average of competing products across various categories that fall within the same price band. Also included are power and heat metrics for competing products showcasing the energy efficiency of FortiGate 1000F versus competitive solutions.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n
