Fortinet

Fortinet built their competitive advantage on silicon — purpose-built network processors (NP7, CP9) and SOC chips that deliver firewall throughput and SSL inspection performance that software-based competitors cannot match at the same price point. FortiGate is their flagship NGFW, running FortiOS, and forms the hub of their Security Fabric — a tightly integrated ecosystem spanning switching (FortiSwitch), wireless (FortiAP), endpoint (FortiClient), SIEM (FortiSIEM), and SOAR (FortiSOAR). Fortinet is the dominant security vendor in the mid-market and has become a strong enterprise challenger, particularly for organisations seeking a single-vendor security mesh. Their SD-WAN integration within FortiOS (no separate appliance required) is considered best-in-class for branch security.
