Introduction

FortiGate Antivirus Firewalls support network-based deployment of application-level
services, including antivirus protection and full-scan content filtering. FortiGate
Antivirus Firewalls improve network security, reduce network misuse and abuse, and
help you use communications resources more efficiently without compromising the
performance of your network. FortiGate Antivirus Firewalls are ICSA-certified for
firewall, IPSec, and antivirus services.

The FortiGate Antivirus Firewall is a dedicated easily managed security device that
delivers a full suite of capabilities that include:

• application-level services such as virus protection and content filtering,
• network-level services such as firewall, intrusion detection, VPN, and traffic

shaping.

The FortiGate Antivirus Firewall uses Fortinet’s Accelerated Behavior and Content
Analysis System (ABACAS™) technology, which leverages breakthroughs in chip
design, networking, security, and content analysis. The unique ASIC-based
architecture analyzes content and behavior in real-time, enabling key applications to
be deployed right at the network edge, where they are most effective at protecting
your networks. The FortiGate series complements existing solutions, such as host-
based antivirus protection, and enables new applications and services while greatly
lowering costs for equipment, administration, and maintenance.

The FortiGate-800 model provides the
levels of performance, reliability, and
flexibility demanded by large enterprises.
With high throughput, a total of 8 network
connections (4 user-defined), 802.1Q VLAN support, and stateful failover HA, the
FortiGate-800 is the choice for mission critical applications. The flexibility, reliability,
and easy management of the FortiGate-800 makes it a natural choice for enterprise
applications.
