The FortiAnalyzer platform integrates network logging, analysis and reporting to increase an organization's knowledge of security events throughout its network. With the FortiAnalyzer family, organizations can centralize security event analysis, forensic research, reporting, content archiving, data mining, malicious file quarantining and vulnerability management in a single platform.
FortiMail is a messaging security platform that utilizes
What's New in the FortiManager-200D
The FortiManager-200D can support up to 30 licensed network devices including any combination of FortiGate® and FortiCarrier® security appliances, FortiClient® endpoint software, FortiMail® messaging security appliances, FortiAnalyzer analysis and reporting appliances and FortiSwitch® switching platforms.
In addition to quadrupling its memory over the FortiManager-100C, the new platform can now support 30 Administration Domains (ADOMs) that represent groups of devices, agents and their administrators. This enables the primary "admin" to create groups of devices for other administrators to monitor and manage.
The FortiManager-200D also supports global policies that can be applied universally via a global objects database to all ADOMs and virtual domains. Within each ADOM, there is a common database of objects shared by all devices and policy packages, allowing users to reuse similar configurations among a group of managed assets. This enables administrators to create device configuration templates to quickly configure a new
Offering enterprise-class features in an affordable appliance, the FortiManager-200D hosts security content locally, which allows administrators greater control over security content updates while providing improved response time for rating databases. Support for locally hosted security content includes antivirus definition updates, intrusion prevention updates, vulnerability and compliance management updates, Web filtering and antispam.
New Functionality in the FortiAnalyzer-200D
The FortiAnalyzer-200D dramatically increases log-processing performance to 350 logs per second, up from 200 logs per second with the FortiAnalyzer-100C. This increased performance makes the new platform an ideal security logging, analysis and reporting solution at branch offices for enterprise customers employing a large scale log infrastructure servicing multiple FortiGate and/or FortiWiFi appliances.
In addition, the new FortiAnalyzer-200D features upgraded support for up to 150 device connections, a 50 percent scalability improvement over the FortiAnalyzer-100C.
With these FortiAnalyzer-200D performance enhancements, SMB and enterprise customers with strategic branch offices can improve visibility into their overall security posture. That's because the FortiAnalyzer centralizes the collection, correlation and analysis of geographically and chronologically diverse security data from
To improve security event information management, the FortiAnalyzer-200D creates a single view of an organization's security events, archived content and vulnerability assessments. The new appliance accepts a full range of traffic, event, virus, attack, content filtering and email filtering data. It also eliminates the need to manually search multiple log files or manually analyze multiple consoles when performing forensic analysis or network auditing.
New Functionality in the FortiMail-200D
Taking performance from 80,000 messages per hour to more than 170,000 gives a raw performance advantage to the FortiMail-200D, when compared with its predecessor the FortiMail-100C. Additional performance advantages include more memory and processing power. The 200D also offers the complete range of FortiMail features including extensive IPv6 support, identity based encryption and a growing set of server mode functionality.
"Our SMB and enterprise customers with branch offices are seeking more scalable device management, security event analysis capabilities and a fully featured secure messaging solution in affordable appliances that can be deployed quickly," said
