Guard the perimeter Fortinet carrier-grade firewalls provide the widest set of security services with ground-breaking throughput and proven resilience and scalability in even the most demanding data center and cloud environments. Protect the cloud internal network FortiGate Internal Segmentation Firewalls (ISFWs) are deployed at strategic points within the network and provide network segmentation inside the perimeter to prevent the proliferation of threats and limit their potential damage within the internal network. Enhance your cloud security with an internal segmentation firewall that can support wire-speed internal traffic with multi-gigabit performance. Secure the workload and east-west traffic Fortinet’s virtual security appliances, ranging from next generation FortiGate firewalls to application-specific security appliances, such as the FortiWeb Web Application Firewall, provide full security visibility and protection for your cloud’s workloads and east-west traffic. With support for the widest range of virtualization platforms (KVM, HyperV, ESXi, Xen), SDN, cloud management and orchestration integration, and single-pane-of-glass management, Fortinet empowers security and agility within the cloud. Security for VMware NSX Our FortiGate-VMX solution, specifically built to integrate with VMware NSX, protects east-west traffic, which now accounts for up to 80 percent of network traffic. Our solution and integration with VMware NSX enables policy-based firewall segmentation and controls on each vNIC across the cloud for east-west traffic inspection. To close security gaps, our solution automatically scales the advanced security features available on each hypervisor joined to the security cluster, where consistent policies and firewall rules are applied. Network security policies defined in FortiGate-VMX are provisioned on application workloads automatically and inserted into the virtual network’s logical pipeline. Security for Cisco ACI Our FortiGate Connector for Cisco ACI provides L4 - L7 service insertion and automation within ACI. The FortiGate Connector for Cisco ACI is a device package that contains XML metadata describing Fortinet’s security services and can be easily uploaded to Cisco APIC controller. The joint solution streamlines traffic to supported FortiGate physical and virtual appliances and assigns security policies on command for data center workloads.
