Introduction

FortiGate Antivirus Firewalls support network-based deployment of application-level
services, including antivirus protection and full-scan content filtering. FortiGate
Antivirus Firewalls improve network security, reduce network misuse and abuse, and
help you use communications resources more efficiently without compromising the
performance of your network. FortiGate Antivirus Firewalls are ICSA-certified for
firewall, IPSec, and antivirus services.

The FortiGate Antivirus Firewall is a dedicated easily managed security device that
delivers a full suite of capabilities that include:

• application-level services such as virus protection and content filtering,
• network-level services such as firewall, intrusion detection, VPN, and traffic

shaping.

The FortiGate Antivirus Firewall uses Fortinet’s Accelerated Behavior and Content
Analysis System (ABACAS™) technology, which leverages breakthroughs in chip
design, networking, security, and content analysis. The unique ASIC-based
architecture analyzes content and behavior in real-time, enabling key applications to
be deployed right at the network edge, where they are most effective at protecting
your networks. The FortiGate series complements existing solutions, such as host-
based antivirus protection, and enables new applications and services while greatly
lowering costs for equipment, administration, and maintenance.

The FortiGate-4000 model is a chassis
based system that broadband Service
providers can use to provide subscriber
security services such as firewall, VPN,
and antivirus protection. The
FortiGate-4000 system scales from 1 to
10 blades enabling customers to add
incremental performance. Two basic
system configurations provides flexibility to meet the network layout of high
performance networks. The FortiGate-4000 supports high-end features including
802.1Q VLAN support, redundant hot-swappable power supplies and cooling, and
stateful failover HA.
