Fortigate Firewall Pro 2.0-advanced network security solution

Example

A financial institution can use the IPS function to detect and block SQL injection attacks targeting their online banking platform.

Scenario

The IPS function continuously monitors network traffic for signs of known exploits and malicious behavior. When an attempt to exploit a vulnerability is detected, the system automatically blocks the attack, logs the event, and alerts the security team, ensuring that the institution's sensitive data remains secure.

Example

A healthcare provider can utilize NGFW features to control access to patient records by limiting which applications can access certain segments of the network.

Scenario

The NGFW capabilities allow for deep packet inspection and application control, enabling the organization to enforce granular security policies. For instance, only specific healthcare applications and authenticated users can access the database containing patient records, thus reducing the risk of unauthorized access or data leaks.

Example

A multinational corporation can deploy Fortigate Firewall Pro 2.0 to establish secure site-to-site VPN connections between its global offices.

Scenario

The VPN function allows secure communication over the internet by encrypting traffic between the corporate offices. This ensures that sensitive corporate data, such as financial reports or intellectual property, is transmitted securely between different geographical locations, protecting it from interception by unauthorized parties.

Example

An educational institution might use web filtering to block access to non-educational or harmful websites during school hours.

Scenario

Web filtering helps enforce acceptable use policies by controlling which websites users can access. For instance, during school hours, students and staff are restricted to educational websites, thereby minimizing distractions and reducing the risk of malware infections from untrusted sites.

Example

A retail chain can leverage threat intelligence to automatically update its security policies in response to new threats targeting the retail sector.

Scenario

Fortigate Firewall Pro 2.0 integrates with threat intelligence services that provide real-time updates on emerging threats. This allows the firewall to automatically adjust its security posture by blocking new types of attacks or adding new signatures to the IPS, ensuring that the network remains protected against the latest threats.
