Introduction

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,
