Products

Fortinet released its first product, FortiGate, a firewall, in 2002, followed by anti-spam and anti-virus software. As functions like anti-spam were added, they were made available in a unified product along with the firewall and other functions.FortiGate was updated later to use application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) architecture. The company has used ASIC in several of its products, including to support its SD-WAN features.

Initially, FortiGate was a physical, rack-mounted product but later became available as a virtual appliance that could run on virtualization platforms such as VMware vSphere.

In May 2004, Trend Micro, a competing cyber security and defense company, filed a legal complaint against Fortinet. Though the International Trade Commission initially ruled against Fortinet, the Trend Micro patents at the center of the dispute were later declared invalid in 2010. In 2005, an OpenNet study suggested that Myanmar, which was under American sanctions, had begun using Fortinet’s FortiGuard system for internet censorship. Fortinet stated that their products are sold by third-party resellers and that they acknowledged US embargoes; however, their sales director participated in a ceremony to deliver the firewall product to the prime minister.

In April 2016, Fortinet began building its Security Fabric architecture so multiple network security products could communicate as one platform.Later that year, the company added Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) products. In September 2016, the company announced it would integrate the SIEM products with the security systems of other vendors.

In 2017, Fortinet announced the addition of switches, access points, analyzers, sandboxes and cloud capabilities to the Security Fabric, in addition to endpoints and firewalls.Later in 2017, Fortinet created a standalone subsidiary, Fortinet Federal, to develop cybersecurity products for government agencies.Fortinet has received security effectiveness certifications through NSS Labs.[57]

in 2019, Fortinet grew to 21,000 WAN edge customers, according to a Gartner report.[58]

In February 2020, Fortinet released FortiAI, a threat-detection program that uses artificial intelligence.In July 2020, Fortinet launched multi-cloud SD-WAN.That year, BT Security selected Fortinet and other Threat Alliance members as Critical Partners.

Vulnerabilities and credential leaks

In September 2021, almost 500,000 login names and passwords for Fortinet VPN devices were published on a hacking forum. The credentials were allegedly scraped from devices vulnerable to a 2018 exploit (CVE-2018-13379).

In January 2025, the credentials and configuration files of over 15,000 FortiGate devices were leaked on a hacking forum.The data is believed to have been obtained from devices vulnerable to a 2022 exploit (CVE-2022–40684).[65]

Accomplishments in cybersecurity

In 2005, Fortinet created the FortiGuard Labs internal security research team.

By 2014, Fortinet had four research and development centers in Asia, as well as others in the US, Canada and France.[67]

In March 2014, Fortinet founded the Cyber Threat Alliance (CTA) with Palo Alto Networks in order to share security threat data across vendors. It was later joined by McAfee and Symantec.In 2015, the CTA published a white paper on the CryptoWall ransomware, which detailed how attackers obtained $325 million through ransoms paid by victims to regain access to their files.

In April 2015, Fortinet provided threat intelligence to Interpol in order to help apprehend the ringleader of several online scams based in Nigeria. The scams, which resulted in compromise of business emails and CEO fraud, had cost one business over $15 million.The following year, in March 2016, Fortinet and Cisco joined NATO in a data-sharing agreement to improve their information security capabilities.

Fortinet researchers discovered a spyware that scammed victims by impersonating the IRS. Also in 2017, researchers helped identify malware, called Rootnik, and ransomware, called MacRansom, that targeted Android and MacOS systems respectively.

Firewall Overview

A firewall is a network security device or software that monitors and filters incoming and outgoing network traffic based on predefined security rules. Firewalls are used to establish a barrier between trusted internal networks and untrusted external networks (such as the internet), allowing only authorized traffic to pass through. They are essential for protecting systems and networks from unauthorized access, cyberattacks, and malware.

Types of Firewalls

There are several different types of firewalls, each with its specific functionality, strengths, and use cases. Here are the main types:

1. Packet-Filtering Firewalls

  • Description: The simplest type of firewall, packet-filtering firewalls work by inspecting individual packets (chunks of data) that pass through the firewall. These firewalls evaluate the packet headers against a set of predefined rules based on factors like IP addresses, port numbers, and protocols (e.g., TCP, UDP).
  • How it works: If a packet matches a rule, it is either allowed or denied. If it does not match any rule, it is typically dropped.

Advantages:

  • Fast and low-latency, as they only inspect the header.
  • Simple to configure and deploy.

Limitations:

  • Limited security, as they don’t analyze the content of the packet or state of the connection.
  • Vulnerable to IP spoofing and certain types of attacks.

 

2. Stateful Inspection Firewalls

  • Description: Also known as dynamic packet filtering, stateful inspection firewalls maintain a state table that tracks the state of active connections. This allows the firewall to make decisions based on the context of the traffic (e.g., whether a packet is part of an established, valid connection).
  • How it works: When a packet arrives, the firewall checks its state table to determine whether the packet is part of an existing connection. If it is, the packet is allowed; otherwise, it is denied.

 

Advantages:

  • More secure than simple packet filters, as it tracks the state of traffic.
  • Helps prevent spoofing attacks.

Limitations:

  • Slightly more resource-intensive compared to packet-filtering firewalls.
  • Can be bypassed if the state table is not properly configured or maintained.

 

3. Proxy Firewalls (Application-Level Gateways)

  • Description: A proxy firewall works by acting as an intermediary between the client and the server. The proxy firewall makes requests on behalf of the client, retrieves data, and then passes it to the client. It operates at the application layer of the OSI model.
  • How it works: The firewall intercepts and inspects all traffic between the user and the internet, including application-specific protocols like HTTP, FTP, and DNS. It can analyze the entire payload and content of the communication.

 

Advantages:

  • Very secure, as it can inspect traffic at the application layer.
  • Can block malware, malicious content, and even certain types of behavior (e.g., downloading files from suspicious websites).

Limitations:

  • Can introduce latency and performance bottlenecks because of deep packet inspection.
  • Complex to configure and manage.

 

4. Next-Generation Firewalls (NGFW)

  • Description: A next-generation firewall (NGFW) is a more advanced version of traditional firewalls. NGFWs combine the features of stateful inspection with additional functionalities such as application awareness, intrusion prevention, and advanced threat detection.
  • How it works: NGFWs not only monitor and filter traffic based on IP address and port but also inspect the application layer, enforce granular policies based on application behavior, and integrate intrusion prevention systems (IPS), antivirus, and content filtering.

 

Advantages:

  • Provides a multi-layered defense, integrating several security features.
  • Can identify and block sophisticated attacks, such as zero-day threats and malware.

 

Limitations:

  • More resource-intensive and potentially higher in cost.
  • Requires regular updates to detect and mitigate the latest threats.

 

Cloud Firewalls (Firewall as a Service)

  • Description: Cloud firewalls, also known as Firewall as a Service (FWaaS), are hosted in the cloud and provide security for cloud-based applications and infrastructure. These firewalls offer protection for cloud environments and are managed by third-party providers.
  • How it works: These firewalls operate similarly to traditional firewalls but are deployed and managed in the cloud, offering protection for cloud services and users accessing cloud-based resources.
  • Advantages:
    • Scalable and flexible, ideal for cloud environments.
    • Managed by service providers, reducing the need for in-house management.
  • Limitations:
    • Requires reliable internet connectivity to access and manage.
    • May introduce latency due to the cloud infrastructure.

Conclusion

Each type of firewall serves a different purpose depending on the network requirements and security goals of an organization. For example:

  • Packet-filtering firewalls are good for simple, basic security.
  • Stateful inspection provides a higher level of security for more complex environments.
  • NGFWs offer advanced threat protection and are suitable for businesses requiring high-level security.
  • Proxy firewalls are useful when you need to inspect and filter content at the application layer.

Selecting the right type of firewall depends on factors such as network complexity, performance requirements, and the level of security needed.
