Wireless LAN (WLAN)

Secure Your Wireless Network

Wireless networks are a significant source of risk for most enterprises, due to the lack of robust security technologies and the use of a separate security infrastructure for wireless networks. Fortinet reduces your WLAN risk with a comprehensive, integrated security solution for your wireless and wired networks. We integrate all wired and wireless traffic into a single FortiGate security platform, giving you unmatched visibility and control of all network threats.

Flexible Deployment Options

You have the flexibility to choose between thick and thin access points (APs), all managed by the integrated Wireless Controllers in FortiGate platform that deliver comprehensive, proven threat management and policy enforcement. Fortinet's unique approach allows you to integrate security for your wired and wireless networks quickly and easily. You can manage all policies from a 'single pane of glass' management console, improving protection while simplifying your network. Our wireless security solution consists of three components:

FortiAP

FortiAP Access Points are affordable 802.11n-capable Thin APs that provide integrated security and WiFi client access on both the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz spectrums. The FortiAP series utilizes industry-leading wireless chip technology that enables the FortiAP to reach wireless association rates as high as 300 Mbps per radio and allows the coverage to extend twice as far as legacy 802.11a/b/g.

Not only is the volume of email traffic rising but with it, the complexity of malware with the presence of blended threats combining spam, viruses, worms and spyware. To help ensure optimum service and security for our customers, we needed an effective multi-layered solution that combined antivirus, anti-spam and anti-spyware technologies in one appliance. FortiMail met our performance requirements while providing ease-of-use and management to our IT team which is essential as we do not have the time or resources to deploy and maintain separate point solutions.
