Virtual Private Network (VPN) - IPSec and SSL

Fortinet IPSec and SSL VPN technologies in FortiGate® platforms are tightly integrated with other security features such as firewall, antivirus, web filtering and intrusion prevention, providing more comprehensive protection than VPN-only security appliances. FortiGate VPN solutions scale to meet the performance requirements of organizations of any size, from SOHO/ROBO and small businesses to large enterprises and service providers. FortiManager™ centralized management appliances provides the ability to manage complex VPN deployments involving thousands of FortiGate systems from a single console.
