FortiGate units provide integrated security services, including email filtering (anti-spam, anti-malware, content filtering) to protect against email-borne threats.

BFirewallCorrect

The primary function of a FortiGate is as a next-generation firewall, providing packet filtering, stateful inspection, and application control.

CVPN gatewayCorrect

FortiGates serve as VPN gateways, supporting IPsec and SSL VPNs for secure remote access and site-to-site connectivity.

DMail relay
