What is Fortinet (FortiGate)?
Fortinet sells network security products, and its best-known line is the FortiGate next-generation firewall. Firewalls come as hardware appliances, virtual appliances, cloud firewalls and a FortiGate-as-a-Service option. All of them run on the FortiOS operating system, with centralized management and FortiGuard security subscriptions on top.
The wider platform also covers secure SD-WAN, unified SASE and ZTNA, switching and wireless LAN, cloud security (CNAPP, WAF, cloud NGFW), and security operations tools such as SIEM, SOAR, NDR, endpoint protection and email security. The FortiGuard service bundles include intrusion prevention, antivirus, URL and DNS filtering, data loss prevention and CASB.
Fortinet serves enterprises, small and midsize businesses, operational technology (OT) and industrial sites, service providers and MSSPs. Products are sold through sales and resellers, and no list prices are published.
