The FortiGate 600E series is a high-performance next-generation firewall platform designed for mid-to-large enterprises and distributed campus or branch deployments. It combines FortiGuard Labsā continuous threat intelligence with purpose-built Security Processor Unit (SPU) acceleration to detect known exploits, malware, and malicious URLs, while dynamic analysis and automated mitigation help stop previously unknown or targeted attacks.
Built for demanding environments, the 600E delivers ultra-low latency threat protection and industry-leading SSL inspection so encrypted traffic is inspected without creating bottlenecks. Independently validated by third-party labs, the platform meets rigorous effectiveness and performance standards.
Its networking capabilities consolidate routing, switching, wireless controller and high-performance IPsec VPN services, enabling flexible deployment modes such as NGFW and Secure SD-WAN. Management is simplified through a centralized NOC-style āsingle pane of glassā console and a predefined compliance checklist that highlights best practices and speeds remediation.
Integrated with Fortinet Security Fabric, the 600E shares telemetry and coordinated defenses with Fortinet and Fabric-ready partner products to provide broad, automated, end-to-end protection across the attack surface.
Physical interfaces include: a USB port, console port, two GE RJ45 management/HA ports, eight GE RJ45 data ports, eight GE SFP slots, and two 10 GE SFP+ slotsāproviding flexible connectivity and uplink options for modern, hybrid network architectures.
