Getting Started with the FortiGate Firewall

Today’s networks are highly complex environments with borders that are constantly changing. In response to this highly complex environment, firewalls have become robust, multi functional devices that counter an array of threats to your network.

In this workshop, participants learn the basics of how to install a FortiGate and use it to protect a network. FortiGate enables security-driven networking and consolidates industry-leading security capabilities, such as SSL inspection, antivirus, web filtering, and application control. By doing this, FortiGate meets the performance needs of highly scalable, hybrid IT architectures, enabling organizations to reduce complexity and manage security risks.

FortiGate simplifies security complexity and provides visibility into applications, users, and networks. FortiGate utilizes purpose-built security processing units (SPUs) and threat intelligence services from FortiGuard Labs to deliver top-rated security and high performance threat protection.
