SUNNYVALE, Calif., Jan. 22, 2007 - Fortinet - the pioneer and leading provider of unified threat management (UTM) solutions -announced the FortiGate-224BTM, the first in a line of unified security and networking platforms that uniquely integrate multiple layers of threat protection with granular security access controls to help safeguard against both external and internal network threats without the need for multiple point solutions. Designed to meet the disparate and expanding network access security needs of enterprises, the FortiGate-224B is a new class of high-performance LAN security devices that enforce internal security policies at the network access layer to blunt intrusion attempts, viruses, worms, denial-of-service attacks and blended threats at wire speed.
The FortiGate-224B delivers clientless access security control that enforces network policies without requiring special end-user software agents. In addition, this new switch integrates comprehensive network and content protection through the integration of eight essential security applications and services - including antivirus, firewall, VPN, intrusion prevention (IPS), anti-spam, anti-spyware, Web filtering and traffic shaping.
