Fortinet named fastest firewall in the world

11. 01. 2012

Fortinet has again capitalized on its foundation of speed, performance, security and protection, and has passed numerous tests to be declared „The Fastest Firewall in the World“!

The Best Performing Firewall in the Industry
In a recent third party high performance throughput test, Fortinet processed and protected 559 Gbps of real-world firewall traffic successfully. With application control technology active, their appliances performed at 526 Gbps - managing simultaneous web applications of Facebook, Farmville, AOL Instant Messaging, Pandora Radio and other popular web traffic. They were also able to process in the mid-high hundreds (up to millions, depending on the tests) of connections per second!
Optimal IPS Solution for Enterprises

In a secondary test, the Fortinet Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) was tested with HTTP 64K real-world application traffic – and it surpassed 122 Gbps with over 219K connections per second.
This means that in high demand environments where large volumes of data, people and devices need connectivity, Fortinet is the optimal solution. Financial services' environments processing trading data, e-commerce sites transacting in web sales and search requests, retail data centres certifying credit cards, and other businesses, where data security is paramount, can all rest assured that they are empowering their business whilst simultaneously protecting their environment and customers.
