UTM
Unified Threat Management (UTM) reduces the capital and operational expenses of purchasing, managing and maintaining different solutions.
Fortinet's UTM approach offers organisations a multi-threat security platform
which is scalable and provides a path for future adoption of additional security
functions without the need to
purchase additional hardware. This enables
reduced total cost of ownership (TCO).

- Why UTM?
- Fortinet UTM Solutions
- FortiGate Appliances
Buying, managing and evolving a security solution comprised of different and often disparate technologies across a distributed network can be both expensive and difficult.
UTM devices typically incorporate firewall, intrusion prevention and gateway anti virus and deliver a network security platform comprised of robust and fully integrated security and networking functions. Protection must be provided against next generation application layer threats and offer centralized management from a single console, all without impairing the performance of the network.
Fortinet's UTM solution is comprised of 5 main components:
- FortiGate network security appliances
- FortiGuard security subscription services
- FortiManager and FortiAnalyser management, reporting and analysis products
- FortiMail anti-spam and email content security appliances
- FortiClient software for desktops, laptops and mobile devices
Fortinet UTM solutions are built "from the ground" up by Fortinet and offer integrated hardware, software and services.
Fortinet's FortiGate-50 appliance is the ideal entry level UTM appliance for the very small organisation. The range extends through the 110C, 200B, 310B and 800 models for medium size businesses and enterprises to the FortiGate-5000 Series for very large enterprises, service providers and carriers. Also the 111C range of appliances provide for WAN acceleration as part of their UTM feature set.
All FortiGate appliances are powered by the FortiOS operating system and the FortiASIC content security processor. The FortiGate platform incorporates high availability (HA) in active/active or active/passive mode for maximum network uptime, and virtual domain capabilities to separate various networks requiring different security policies.
For continuous updates to anti virus, intrusion prevention, Web filtering and anti spam services, the Fortinet Global Threat Research Team researches and develops protection against known and unknown security threats. This forms the basis of the FortiGuard security subscription services.
