Based on real user reviews of Fortinet FortiGate
Executive Summary
The prevalence of remote work, cloud computing and the challenges of dealing with branch offices have rendered the traditional perimeter-based security model obsolete.
As users gain access to systems and data from virtually any device and any location, the traditional firewall is less and less effective. Nor is the data center still the core of a digital organization. The Next-Generation Firewall (NGFW) provides a solution by adding device filtering, edge security and SD-WAN to protect users and data. This paper explores key selection factors for an NGFW, based on real user experiences with the Fortinet FortiGate NGFW on IT Central Station.
