Next Generation Firewall (NGFW)

The Fortinet Secure AI Data Center solution includes a rich portfolio of FortiGate NGFWs with integrated FortiAI-enriched protection, management, and analytics in a single platform.

What’s needed now is unified network security designed for today’s hybrid infrastructure with integrated next-generation firewalls (NGFWs) across the network and form factors, centralized management, and coordinated response to threats.

This collection of success stories illustrates how companies across various industries have leveraged the latest security and AI/ML technologies to achieve remarkable outcomes in cybersecurity, operational efficiency, and business resilience.

Fortinet has been named a Leader in the 2025 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Hybrid Mesh Firewall. We believe this reflects what security teams value most: performance, simplicity, and control.

The speed of business is accelerating the data center’s journey toward digital transformation, requiring new hybrid network architectures that combine on-premises data centers with multiple public and private cloud deployments to form a hybrid mesh firewall (HMF) environment. However, to meet the needs of organizations expanding their digital transformation, the underlying enabling technologies must be more reliable and energy-efficient. They must also deliver consistent security across the hybrid architecture to defend against threats.

This unified security platform provides coordinated protection to multiple areas of enterprise IT, including corporate sites, such as branches, campuses, data centers, public and private clouds, and remote workers. This, then, can form the core of a broader security framework.

Integrated network firewalls bring enormous benefits to enterprise IT. These include increased IT operational efficiency, simplified cybersecurity operations, reduced organizational risk, relief from the cybersecurity skills gap, resilient protection against known and unknown cyberthreats, automation and coordination via AI/ML, and a lower total cost of ownership.

The FortiGate 7000F series delivers unparalleled value as an all-in-one cybersecurity solution that integrates high-performance networking and security.

The Fortinet Secure AI Data Center solution enforces zero trust, inspects encrypted traffic, prevents data loss, and handles high-volume AI workloads without latency or bottlenecks.

With the right solutions, effective and efficient security for hybrid and hyperscale data centers is well within reach.

The key challenge lies in deploying solutions that scale and adapt to the evolving hybrid landscape, securing critical applications and high-throughput traffic across diverse network environments.

FortiGate NGFWs deliver the visibility into encrypted traffic and user, application, and device activity necessary to build contextual, evolving network and security policies that secure digital transformation.

FortiGate Next-Generation Firewalls (NGFWs) offer a game-changing solution to stop today’s sophisticated, evasive threats and zero-day attacks.

Fortinet’s AI Data Center Firewall Solution addresses threats targeting AI and LLM systems with ASIC accelerated inspection, LLM-aware threat protection, and unified governance across every layer of the AI stack.

Enterprises are adopting hybrid IT, Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), and 5G to improve operational agility. These tools help them build composable and scalable architectures that interconnect distributed branches, campuses, on-premises data centers, and multi-clouds into a unified network. And yet, amid this change, the enterprise on-premises data center remains an essential component of most networks. Its role is vital because it protects applications, data, and workloads that can’t be moved to the cloud but still need to be consumed by employees, customers, and partners.

FortiGate Next-Generation Firewalls (NGFWs), as part of a hybrid mesh firewall architecture, protect dynamic campus networks using powerful AI-powered security services that provide deep visibility into all users, devices, and applications.

The rapid adoption of digital transformation pushes business networks to adopt a hybrid strategy. As a result, the network infrastructure is getting more distributed, making it hard to manage and secure. And not surprisingly, among all causes leading to cyber incidents and network downtime, human error and misconfigurations are at the top.

FortiGate NGFWs also provide a wide range of additional advanced security, including the ability to be deployed as part of a hybrid mesh firewall (HMF) architecture, built-in SD-WAN, dynamic network segmentation, and converged networking and security functionality. When deployed as part of a cybersecurity mesh architecture, FortiGate also provides single-pane-of-glass management, making security visibility and policy orchestration less complex and more flexible across all network edges.
