A FortiGate firewall is a comprehensive network security solution that provides firewall protection, intrusion prevention, antivirus and antimalware scanning, VPN connectivity, and other security features. FortiGate firewall is also a router. It offers real-time threat intelligence to help you stay one step ahead of cyber attackers.

When a firewall executes packet filtering, it examines the packets of data, comparing it against filters, which consist of information used to identify malicious data. If a data packet meets the parameters of a threat as defined by a filter, then it is discarded and your network is protected.
