It protects against known threats as well as zero-day attacks, including malware and other vulnerabilities. Many solutions can be deployed inline as a bump in a wire and perform deep packet inspections of traffic at wire speed. This requires high throughput, low latency, and high throughput. FortiGate, an industry-recognized platform for delivering this technology to Fortinet, is the channel through which it is delivered. FortiGate security processors offer unparalleled high performance. FortiGuard Labs provides industry-leading threat intelligence. This creates a proven record in protecting against known and zero-day threats. FortiGate IPS is a key component in the Fortinet Security Fabric. It protects the entire infrastructure without compromising performance.
