Intrusion protection upgrade - Firewall and VPN products - Fortinet's FortiOS 2.5

Communications News, Nov, 2003

FortiOS 2.5, a new release of the firmware available for all FortiGate antivirus firewalls, adds significant new features, such as intrusion prevention, as well as more than 50 enhancements to the firewall, VPN, antivirus, intrusion-detection and content-filtering capabilities of the FortiGate line-without requiring any hardware upgrades. The new intrusion-prevention features stop attacks in progress, protecting networks against more than 30 of the most prevalent and damaging threats, including denial of service (DoS/DDoS) and buffer overflow attacks. User-configurable thresholds and alert mechanisms provide system administrators with finegrained control and comprehensive, real-time reporting. Enhanced VLAN and zone support allows zones to include VLANs and/or physical port(s), and inter-zone policies enable granularity and control. Also, one Fort/Gate unit can now serve multiple departments/customers.--Fortinet
