Introduction
FortiAnalyzer units are network appliances that provide integrated log collection
and reporting tools. Reports analyze logs for email, FTP, web browsing, security
events, and other network activity to help identify security issues and reduce
network misuse and abuse.
In addition to logging and reporting, FortiAnalyzer units also have several major
features that augment or enable certain FortiGate unit functionalities, such as
content archiving and quarantining, and improve your ability to stay informed
about the state of your network.
