Secure Any Edge at Any Scale

Powered by Security Processing Unit (SPU)
Traditional firewalls cannot protect against today’s content- and connection-based threats
because they rely on off-the-shelf hardware and general-purpose CPUs, causing a dangerous
performance gap. Fortinet’s custom SPU processors deliver the power you need—up to
520Gbps—to detect emerging threats and block malicious content while ensuring your network
security solution does not become a performance bottleneck.

Powered by Purpose-Built Secure SD-WAN ASIC SOC4
