FORTIGATE-82C

Today's sophisticated threatscape challenges enterprises of all sizes. They must protect the data residing in and traveling between ROBOs, SOHOs, customer premise equipment (CPE), retail networks, and headquarters. Their already overloaded IT departments must also comply with evolving data protection and retention policies for locations of any size. They need a simple-to-install, cost-effective, and proven approach to safeguarding the data in their distributed networks.

The FortiGate-82C is a multi-function security platform that combines essential security functions of firewall, IPSec and SSL VPN, antivirus, antispam, intrusion prevention, and web filtering into a single device. The advanced FortiOS operating system also delivers enterprise-class data loss prevention, SSL inspection, and application control.

The FortiGate-82C provides two additional benefits: WAN optimization for improved network performance, and storing of system logs and audit files for policy compliance. WAN optimization increases network performance by reducing the amount of data transmitted across a WAN. It lowers resource and bandwidth requirements, thereby reducing networking costs. The FortiGate-82C's expandable storage eliminates the need to add storage devices for WAN optimization.

The user-expandable storage includes one terabyte of disk space. Enterprises can use the FortiGate-82C as the foundation for complying with policies requiring the storage of log files or audit records from applications, servers, and devices. This integrated, comprehensive approach to data security and storage significantly reduces the cost of deploying multiple technologies separately.

• Ships with one terabyte (1 TB) of user-expandable storage, which facilitates policy and regulatory compliance for storing of audit files and system logs
• WAN optimization enables organizations to lower costs and improve their WAN connection performance by reducing bandwidth requirements, lowering server resource requirements, and improving network speeds
• Integrated, all-in-one security delivers enterprise-class multi-threat protection for enterprises of any size that need to protect sensitive data in remote locations, small-businesses, remote offices, and home offices
• SSL inspection provides visibility into encrypted SSL traffic, enabling policy enforcement blocking of malicious content within encrypted communications
• Data loss prevention stops the accidental or intentional communication of regulated, proprietary, or confidential data from inside the network
• Application control enables organizations to enforce application-specific policies to block unauthorized activity and rogue applications from their networks
