This flexibility allows organizations to integrate the device into their existing network architecture with ease. The firewall's high throughput capabilities ensure that network performance remains unaffected, even under heavy load from multiple users and devices.

Another notable aspect of the Fortinet 100A is its support for various VPN technologies, including IPsec and SSL VPN.
