Making Cybersecurity Easy to Manage
There is a lot of cybersecurity packed into this small appliance. The 60E offers anti-virus analysis, application filtering, ASIC VPN, firewall protection, an intrusion prevention system, URL filtering, VPN support and web threat protection. It works almost as soon as it’s plugged in and connected to the wired gateway.
Most firewalls and next-generation security appliances are difficult to manage, especially ones that pack multiple features into a single box. Fortinet simplified those functions, using a unified operating system called FortiOS 5 that drives each component, paired with a graphical user interface that is easy to control.
It’s also simple to create unique firewall rules for the equipment and user needs of each school, and the 60E can store as many as 5,000 of them. And the fact that each feature shares a common interface means learning how to program one equals proficiency with all the others as well.
