Technology/Topic: FortiGate Converged Security and Networking Platform

=====================================

Welcome to the Technical Exchange Meeting (TEM)!

Fortinet Federal’s FortiGate Converged Security and Networking Platform delivers integrated, high-performance cybersecurity and networking capabilities in a single, hardened appliance purpose-built for federal and defense environments. By converging next-generation firewall (NGFW), secure SD-WAN, zero trust network access (ZTNA), and advanced threat protection into a unified architecture, FortiGate enables real-time visibility, adaptive threat detection and response, central management, and seamless connectivity across enterprise and tactical environments. This convergence reduces attack surfaces, accelerates threat mitigation, simplifies infrastructure, and enhances mission assurance in both garrison and contested deployments.

What sets the FortiGate capabilities apart is its unique combination of deep packet inspection, AI-powered threat intelligence, and policy enforcement at the data, control, and application layers—all integrated into a single OS and form factor. Fortinet Federal’s in-house custom ASICs allows the FortiGate to run multiple security protection capabilities without suffering performance degradation. Unlike fragmented solutions requiring multiple vendors and tools, FortiGate offers end-to-end Zero Trust and cross-domain. Its ability to converge networking and security reduces complexity, increases operational agility, and ensures interoperability across joint and coalition forces—an advantage that is mission-critical in dynamic defense environments.
