Next Generation Firewall (NGFW)

Fortinet’s comprehensive portfolio of data center cybersecurity solutions, including FortiGate Next-Generation Firewalls (NGFWs), enable organizations to build the dynamic, hybrid environments organizations need without compromising on security or performance.

By adopting integrated solutions such as new hybrid mesh firewalls (HMFs), businesses can mitigate challenges, enhance efficiency, and maintain robust security measures in the digital landscape.

Hybrid dynamic environments allow IT teams to create fast lanes for building, implementing, interconnecting, and managing critical technologies and processes, whether internal or external. They also introduce new risks that legacy security systems cannot address because they cannot adapt to a network in a constant state of flux. Because of this fundamental change in networking, security systems can no longer be designed using isolated point products deployed as a network overlay. Instead, just as different network environments need to converge, so do networking and security so they can operate as a single, responsive system.

Sicherheitsvorsprung mit Security-Driven Networking: Starker Schutz vor unbekannten Bedrohungen

What’s needed now is a hybrid mesh firewall (HMF) solution to integrate next-generation firewalls across the network and form factors to enable centralized management and coordinated response to threats. This solution needs to protect assets and users located anywhere, converge and consolidate distributed solutions to reduce overhead, simplify management, and enable automation, and dynamically scale services and bandwidth to meet your constantly evolving business requirements.

Learn why deploying a common next-generation firewall (NGFW) platform as the backbone of a unified security strategy enables end-to-end visibility, ease of management and control.

Network topographies have changed drastically since the first firewall was introduced. As more applications have moved to the cloud and the number of devices accessing the network has exploded, the perimeter has all but disappeared, while threats have increased exponentially.

The new reality isn’t cloud computing or even multi-cloud computing—the new reality is the use of complex, hybrid infrastructures that are expected to be able to adapt to rapidly changing business needs. This complexity demands a more holistic security solutions, one that is able to deliver state-of-the-art security wherever the compute occurs.

Unsere Checkliste fasst die wichtigsten Tipps zusammen, wie Sie diese Ziele erreichen.

Today’s hybrid and hyperscale data center architectures require security solutions designed to keep up with the pace of business. But too many data center environments still rely on outmoded traditional firewalls that underperform and underserve, pushing IT teams into dangerous trade-offs between security and performance. But because there is so much at stake—and so little guidance—choosing the right solutions can be daunting.

This unified security platform provides coordinated protection to multiple areas of enterprise IT, including corporate sites, such as branches, campuses, data centers, public and private clouds, and remote workers. This, then, can form the core of a broader security framework.

Die Weiterentwicklung von Rechenzentren bringt für Unternehmen zwar viele Vorteile, aber auch neue Sicherheits- probleme mit sich – insbesondere bei der Umstellung auf hybride und Hyperscale-Architekturen.

To secure the modern evolving data center, Fortinet has the industry’s most comprehensive data center cybersecurity solution. It’s called FortiGate 7000F Series Next-Generation Firewall (NGFW) and it offers increased threat protection, performance, and energy efficiency.

Enterprise IT is changing. Applications are shifting to hybrid deployments across on-premises data centers and the cloud. Corporate campuses and branches are migrating from MPLS to low-cost broadband in Direct Internet Access (DIA) models. Employees no longer work exclusively at offices but can access company resources anywhere and with any device, often at home. Egress points multiply from a few to hundreds and even thousands, creating complex edge networks. The internet ties these changes together as the new corporate backbone.

Fortinet FortiGate Next-Generation Firewalls (NGFWs) are part of a hybrid mesh firewall (HMF) solution that enables broad, integrated, and automated protection against emerging threats and increasing network complexity. FortiGate is an integral part of the Fortinet Security Fabric, an end-to-end security architecture designed to protect evolving networks.

FortiGate Next-Generation Firewalls (NGFWs), as part of a hybrid mesh firewall architecture, protect dynamic campus networks using powerful AI-powered security services that provide deep visibility into all users, devices, and applications.

Enterprises are adopting hybrid IT, Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), and 5G to improve operational agility. These tools help them build composable and scalable architectures that interconnect distributed branches, campuses, on-premises data centers, and multi-clouds into a unified network. And yet, amid this change, the enterprise on-premises data center remains an essential component of most networks. Its role is vital because it protects applications, data, and workloads that can’t be moved to the cloud but still need to be consumed by employees, customers, and partners.

FortiGate NGFWs also provide a wide range of additional advanced security, including the ability to be deployed as part of a hybrid mesh firewall (HMF) architecture, built-in SD-WAN, dynamic network segmentation, and converged networking and security functionality. When deployed as part of a cybersecurity mesh architecture, FortiGate also provides single-pane-of-glass management, making security visibility and policy orchestration less complex and more flexible across all network edges.

Fortinet simplifies security management, reduces security staff workloads, and ensures that your applications will be protected with the same security policies, whether in the cloud, the data center, or branch locations.

Today’s IT teams require deep visibility into applications, users, and devices in order to defend enterprise networks against cyberthreats, but this is often a challenge.

Fortinet FortiGate next-generation firewalls (NGFWs) enable organizations to build security-driven networks that weave security into the IT architecture.

Today’s data centers face two distinct challenges when securing critical applications and resources.

For digital acceleration to succeed, networks must do more than they did in the past, which can increase risk

The heart of digital transformation involves integrating digital technologies into every aspect of business operations. This approach can significantly change how businesses operate and interact with their customers, suppliers, and partners.

Hybrid IT and adopting work-from-anywhere (WFA) strategies have led to the exponential expansion of new network edges. And for many organizations, this has resulted in an expanded and fragmented attack surface that has become a perfect opportunity for bad actors to launch cybersecurity attacks from new attack vectors, undermining the ability of network and security leaders to maintain business operations.

6 Criteria for Choosing Next-Generation Firewalls

With moving to public clouds and modernizing data centers at the heart of this transformation, care and attention must be given to ensuring that your networks and data are secure and that security can be easily managed across clouds and data centers.
