Fortinet Achieves 'Recommended' Rating in DCIPS Category with Its Solutions
Delivering High Throughput and Sophisticated Security Effectiveness Required for Data Centers
Application Traffic Latency Below 10% with Embedded Network ProcessorFortinet Korea announced today that its FortiGate IPS 3000D and IPS 7060E have received a 'Recommended' rating in the 'Data Center Intrusion Prevention System (DCIPS)' test conducted by NSS Labs.
The IPS 3000D demonstrated industry-leading security effectiveness and value per protected capacity (Mbps) on NSS Labs' Security Value Map for DCIPS. It also exhibited IPS throughput faster than the performance guaranteed in the datasheet. Additionally, it blocked 98.73% of exploits and neutralized 100% of bypass techniques.
Effectively Protecting Modern Data Centers at Any Scale
Data collection, processing, and distribution are critical in digital business models. The growth of IoT, consumer and user-based applications, and big data is increasing demands for real-time information, with all these factors impacting data centers. To compete more effectively in the market, organizations are building high-performance data center architectures combined with cloud scalability. These dynamic hybrid environments smoothly respond to increasing traffic capacity and effectively manage challenges inherent to data centers, such as unbalanced traffic.
Security solutions are needed that can safely protect mixed types of traffic such as IPv4 and IPv6, and SSL-encrypted traffic. However, cyber attacks are employing various bypass attack methods to evade detection by existing security systems. Today's data centers require intelligent intrusion prevention systems (IPS) capable of rapidly identifying and blocking sophisticated threats.
Fortinet's FortiGate solutions are designed to deliver the high throughput and sophisticated security effectiveness required for today's distributed data centers. To achieve this, FortiGate solutions are equipped with patented security and network processors to provide high-performance security and application traffic latency below 10%. This enables seamless protection of IPv4 and IPv6 traffic. Whether delivering approximately 30Gbps of IPS throughput through the FortiGate IPS 3000D or 130Gbps or more IPS throughput through the 7060E, FortiGate IPS appliances can meet both data center security requirements and critical network performance requirements.
Vikram Patek, CEO of NSS Labs, stated, "NSS Labs supports enterprises in making informed decisions based on independent, real-world test results. We commend Fortinet's performance demonstrated in this test. The 'Recommended' rating that Fortinet received in the 2018 DCIPS Group Test is valuable reference material for all enterprises looking to strengthen their data center security architecture."
