Why each option
This question tests knowledge of the primary security and networking functions offered by FortiGate unified threat management (UTM) devices.
FortiGate units include integrated antispam filtering as part of their comprehensive content inspection and UTM capabilities, protecting against unsolicited and malicious email.
FortiGate devices are primarily next-generation firewalls, providing core network security functions such as packet filtering, stateful inspection, and application control.
FortiGate units serve as VPN gateways, supporting various VPN protocols (IPsec, SSL VPN) to establish secure connections for remote access or site-to-site connectivity.
While FortiGate can filter mail, it typically does not act as a full-fledged mail relay server; its mail functions are focused on security scanning and not message transport.
FortiGate units are not designed to function as full mail servers; their mail-related capabilities are limited to security scanning and protection.
