SANTA CLARA, Calif. -- Fortinet, the premier provider of network protection systems and the only provider of ASIC-powered, network-based antivirus solutions, today introduced the FortiGate 500 NPG, the newest model in Fortinet's breakthrough family of Network Protection Gateways that for the first time provides enterprises of all sizes with comprehensive protection against content-based threats emanating from within as well as outside their networks. The powerful, multi-zone capabilities of the FortiGate 500 NPG enable organizations to segment their networks and establish custom-tailored security and content control policies on a zone-by-zone, department-by-department basis. The FortiGate 500 NPG also delivers new levels of density and price/performance, with 12 user-configurable 10/100 Ethernet ports in a single 1U high unit. The FortiGate 500 NPG is available immediately through Fortinet's global network of Authorized Distributors and Resellers. "When it comes to network security, many organizations find that it no longer makes sense to think solely in terms of a single, clearly defined network edge," said Ken Xie, founder and CEO of Fortinet. "In fact, the majority of network attacks originate from within organizations, where there are often no 'edges' in a conventional sense. With our new FortiGate 500 NPG, customers can now define and enforce policies that are appropriate for each of their varied constituencies and resources, such as remote offices, business partners, telecommuters, wireless LAN users -- even individual departments and server farms. By providing this type of control with real-time performance, Fortinet enables organizations to further break the barriers to effective network protection." Fortinet Inc.
