Fortinet FortiGate-3980E Nairobi

The Fortinet FortiGate-3900E Series in Nairobi, Kenya delivers extremely high performance and excellent next generation firewall capabilities to various large-sized firms and service providers. It uses its multiple high speed interfaces, high port density, and high throughput to enhance your network security. It incorporates the use of Fortinet’s leading security protocols such as IPS, SSL inspection, and advanced threat protection to improve your network’s general performance.  The Fortinet’s Security-Driven Networking approach provides tight integration of the network to the new generation of security.

Fortinet Firewall in Nairobi uses Custom SPU processors to deliver the power required to detect malicious content at multi-Gigabit speeds. Other security technologies cannot protect against today’s wide range of content- and connection-based threats because they rely on general-purpose CPUs, causing a dangerous performance gap. SPU processors therefore have been built to provide the performance needed to block emerging threats, meet rigorous third-party certifications, and ensure that your network security solution does not become a network bottleneck.
