Fortinet, the global leader in high-performance cyber security solutions announced new solutions that expand Fortinet’s top-tier enterprise firewalls for enterprise, data center, and service provider customers.

Ken Xie, founder, chairman of the board and chief executive officer at Fortinet said: “Cloud computing, IOT, and a hyper-connected digital economy have been straining enterprise IT resources and rapidly increasing the performance demands required from today’s security solutions. Enterprises cannot afford to sacrifice their network performance or their security features in this highly competitive and constantly evolving landscape. Fortinet is continually innovating to deliver the highest performing and most secure solutions on the market, enabling our customers to fully leverage their technology infrastructures with the confidence that their users and data are secure.”
Fortigate 7060E and 3980E will be available by the end of the first quarter of 2017.
