Key strengths

  • Security: Deeply inspects thousands of applications for granular policy control and defends against malware, exploits, and malicious sites in both encrypted and clear traffic. AI-driven FortiGuard Labs threat intelligence continuously updates protections to detect and block known and unknown attacks.
  • Secure SD-WAN & Networking: Best-in-class SD-WAN enables application steering and WAN-path control for consistent user experience. The platform also provides routing, switching, wireless controller support, and scalable IPsec VPN for resilient connectivity.
  • Performance: Purpose-built Security Processing Unit (SPU) acceleration delivers ultra-low latency and high throughput, including industry-leading SSL/TLS inspection performance so encrypted traffic is inspected without bottlenecks.
  • Certification: Independently validated for security effectiveness and performance by top testing organizations (NSS Labs, ICSA, Virus Bulletin, AV-Comparatives).
  • Management & Visibility: Intuitive Management Console and Zero-Touch integration with Fortinet Security Fabric provide a single pane of glass for automation, topology visibility, and rapid issue resolution. Predefined compliance checklists help harden deployments and simplify audits.
  • Security Fabric Integration: Seamless coordination with Fortinet and Fabric-ready partner products enables end-to-end detection, threat sharing, automated remediation, and automatic discovery/visualization of IoT and network devices.

The 50E series is a practical, high-value choice for branches requiring integrated Secure SD-WAN, next-generation firewall capabilities, and managed visibility in a compact appliance.
