Although <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.firewalls.com\/category\/firewalls.html?manufacturer=198\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">next-gen firewall tech<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> can be found across several manufacturers, Fortinet has found a way to make their mark.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the same vein, their firewall solutions include many of the basic modern security features you need in network security. The hard part is knowing which firewall is the best choice for your organization&#8217;s specific needs.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Usually, this can be determined through the specifications, but you\u2019ll have to dig to find what makes one model stand out from the next. FortiGate firewalls are pretty diverse, and this article takes a look at the specs that help them stand out from other options on the market. <\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8213344 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"8213344\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h1 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">High-Performance Threat Protection\n<\/h1>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0672507 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"0672507\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To understand how FortiGate NGFWs are unique, you really have to break them open to see it for yourself. The specs say a lot, but it\u2019s deeper than that, such as custom security processing units (SPUs) and optimized SSL\/TLS inspection.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Other reasons many businesses opt for a FortiGate NGFW include:<\/span><\/p><ul><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Real-time visibility into potential and active threats<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Minimal latency and max throughput thanks to advanced processing<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hardware-accelerated decryption without encountering performance bottlenecks<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ASIC-powered intrusion prevention<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And much more<\/span><\/li><\/ul><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A lot of this is the norm for Fortinet FortiGate solutions, but they do come with a sizable catalog. For example, while <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.firewalls.com\/brands\/fortinet\/fortigate\/smb\/fg-60f.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">the FortiGate 60F<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> covers a broad target market, it isn\u2019t suitable for every business out there.
