ÏFortinet continues to demonstrate its commitment to security with this latest certification, said Brian Monkman, Web application firewall program manager for ICSA Labs. ÏThis is yet another in a long line of ICSA Labs certified Fortinet products, showcasing the companys commitment to end-to-end security.
The FortiWeb family of Web application and XML firewalls protect, balance and accelerate Web applications, databases and the information exchanged between them. Designed for medium and large enterprises, application service and SaaS providers, FortiWeb incorporates Fortinets advanced threat research to protect Web-based applications, improve the security of confidential information and help address regulatory and Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) compliance. FortiWeb goes beyond traditional Web application firewalls to provide XML security enforcement, application acceleration and server load balancing.
ÏWe are thrilled to have another Fortinet appliance added to our list of ICSA Labs certified products, said Michael Xie, CTO and vice president of engineering at Fortinet.

Purchase Fortinet Products
We have evaluated security solutions from various vendors but very few had solutions specifically tailored to the needs of MSSPs. The ability of the FortiGate solution to virtually segment each customer's connection and customize its configuration and profile to access all or several of the security applications we offer was decisive in our choice. FortiGate's multi-threat security platform is definitely a great option for large data center deployments such as ours.
