Superior Wireless Coverage

A built-in dual-band, dual-stream access point is integrated on the FortiWiFi 80F-2R series which provides the industry’s latest high-speed WiFi-6 (802.11ax) wireless access.

Trusted Platform Module

The FortiGate/FortiWiFi 80F Series features a dedicated module that hardens physical networking appliances by generating, storing, and authenticating cryptographic keys. Hardware-based security mechanisms protect against malicious software and phishing attacks.

Bypass WAN/LAN Mode

The FortiGate-80F-Bypass offers a pair of bypass ports that help organizations avoid network communication interruption due to device faults and improve network reliability

Access Layer Security

FortiLink protocol enables you to converge security and the network access by integrating the FortiSwitch into the FortiGate as a logical extension of the NGFW. These FortiLink enabled ports can be reconfigured as regular ports as needed.

FortiGuard Services:

FortiGuard AI-Powered Security

FortiGuard’s rich suite of security services counter threats in real time using AI-powered, coordinated protection designed by FortiGuard Labs security threat researchers, engineers, and forensic specialists.

Web Security

Advanced cloud-delivered URL, DNS (Domain Name System), and Video Filtering providing complete protection for phishing and other web born attacks while meeting compliance.

Additionally, its dynamic inline CASB (Cloud Access Security Broker) service is focused on securing business SaaS data, while inline ZTNA traffic inspection and ZTNA posture check provide per-sessions access control to applications. It also integrates with the FortiClient Fabric Agent to extend protection to remote and mobile users.

Content Security

Advanced content security technologies enable the detection and prevention of known and unknown threats and file-based attack tactics in real-time. With capabilities like CPRL (Compact Pattern Recognition Language), AV, inline Sandbox, and lateral movement protection make it a complete solution to address ransomware, malware, and credential-based attacks.

Device Security

Advanced security technologies are optimized to monitor and protect IT, IIoT, and OT (Operational Technology) devices against vulnerability and device-based attack tactics. Its validated near-real-time IPS intelligence detects, and blocks known and zero-day threats, provides deep visibility and control into ICS/OT/SCADA protocols, and provides automated discovery, segmentation, and pattern identification-based policies.

Advanced Tools for SOC/NOC

Advanced NOC and SOC management tools attached to your NGFW provide simplified and faster time-to-activation.

SOC-as-a-Service

Includes tier-one hunting and automation, log location, 24×7 SOC analyst experts, managed firewall and endpoint functions, and alert triage.

Fabric Rating Security Best Practices

Includes supply chain virtual patching, up-to-date risk and vulnerability data to deliver quicker business decisions, and remediation for data breach situations.

Powered by Security Processing Unit (SPU)

Traditional firewalls cannot protect against today’s content- and connection-based threats because they rely on off-the-shelf hardware and general-purpose CPUs, causing a dangerous performance gap. Fortinet’s custom SPU processors deliver the power you need—up to 520Gbps—to detect emerging threats and block malicious content while ensuring your network security solution does not become a performance bottleneck.
