Bangalore

September 6th, 2007

Fortinet has introduced the FortiGate-60B and the FortiWifi-60B multi-threat
security appliances designed for enterprise branch offices, retail outlets and
small businesses. The new FortiGate-60B and the FortiWifi-60B appliances enable
enterprises to extend security to the smallest sites in their organizations.

The new FortiGate-60B and FortiWifi-60B bring power and flexibility to
enterprise branch offices and retail outlets as their needs for protection and
compliance continue to grow. These new security appliances incorporate a
purpose-built FortiASIC specifically designed for high-performance
multi-function security. In addition to increased flexibility and performance,
both appliances feature a front-accessible PC card slot that supports 3G
wireless PC cards from multiple mobile carriers, ensuring flexibility for rapid
deployment.

The FortiGate-60B and FortiWifi-60B also include dual WAN interfaces, an
integrated analog modem, six internal interfaces, and one DMZ interface to allow
network administrators to definitively segment a trusted area for internal users
and an untrusted area for public users.

The FortiWifi-60B provides the same features as the FortiGate-60B, but is
designed specifically to address the secure wireless connectivity requirements
of enterprise branch offices, retail locations and small businesses. This
solution also has built-in 802.11 a/b/g wireless support.

The FortiGate-60B and FortiWifi-60B deliver real-time network protection
through the integration of essential security applications and services -
including firewall, antivirus, virtual private network (VPN), intrusion
prevention (IPS), anti-spam, Web content filtering and traffic shaping - that
can be deployed individually, or combined as a UTM solution.

The FortiGate-60B and FortiWifi-60B are available now through Fortinet's
network of channel partners worldwide.
