Flexible Placement Allows Ease of Use
The FortiGate 40F is designed for zero-touch installation. The tiny unit is even designed without fans, so it can be put almost anywhere, from a worker’s desk to a wiring closet. Once connected to a wired gateway, it provides secure SD-WAN capabilities that include anti-virus analysis, application filtering, next-generation firewall protection, an intrusion prevention system, URL filtering, VPN support and web threat protection. And all that works with both encrypted and unencrypted traffic.
Each 40F runs on the same FortiOS operating system that drives most Fortinet appliances, which is designed for ease of use. For example, it’s quite simple to set up to 5,000 firewall rules using that interface, or to prioritize certain types of traffic over others. However, in the event that there are limited IT resources at branch offices, the 40F can also be fully managed remotely.
