FortiMail-400B Email Security Gateway Datasheet

  The use of email as a communications medium in business has arguably surpassed the use of telephony in importance and ubiquity. It is therefore critically important to ensure the availability and security of this communications medium. The availability of email can be threatened at a network level by copious amounts of unsolicited spam messages that clog system servers and resources, consume considerable amounts of bandwidth and reduce mail system effectiveness. The availability of email can also be threatened at the user level by creating an unusable scenario of mailboxes so congested with spam, that legitimate email becomes difficult to identify. With numerous sources citing the percentage of spam email to be over 90 percent of all email traffic, effectively blocking spam is an absolute requirement in networking. In addition to spam’s ability to affect the availability of email, spam also brings increased security risks. Spam is used to transmit viruses that can cripple networks, while phishing attempts to convince users to divulge sensitive information leading to identity theft and the loss of confidential corporate information. Fortinet’s FortiMail-400B is an email security gateway that is deployed in front of email resources and servers to block spam and viruses from email systems. Through the integration of numerous ICSA Labs certified spam and virus recognition methodologies, FortiMail has demonstrated the ability to block 99.87% of spam in live 3rd party tests.1 With a quick-start setup wizard and basic-mode GUI, the FortiMail-400B brings the simplicity of deployment and use that medium-sized organizations need. Multiple deployment modes (gateway, transparent or server) and device-based licensing add to the flexibility of deployment and save administrators costly per-user licensing fees. Backed by Fortinet’s own FortiGuard Security Services, FortiMail devices are automatically updated against the latest threats and spam recognition methodologies without requiring licensing or complications from additional third-party security vendors. Through the combination of the industry’s best update service, deployment and management flexibility, and unique hardware advantages, the FortiMail-400B makes it easy for administrators to ensure the availability and security of one of their network’s most important communications mediums.

 FortiMail and FortiGate, Together or Alone Fortinet’s FortiGate multi-threat security appliance can be deployed at the network perimeter, and offers centralized spam database lookup capabilities. Because FortiGate is a perimeter device, it is designed to pass traffic quickly to avoid latency. FortiMail appliances are deployed not at the perimeter, but in front of email servers to act as an email gateway. Because email is not latency-sensitive, additional spam and virus inspection methodologies can be employed to increase accuracy rates. The FortiMail system’s additional antispam and antivirus technologies provide the deepest level of protection specifically designed for email systems. FortiMail and FortiGate can be deployed independently, or in tandem to provide the highest levels of mail security and throughput. FortiMail Family of Appliances Fortinet’s FortiMail-400B is one of several FortiMail models designed to protect networks of all sizes. Varying models incorporate various HD capacities, port counts, and mail processing speeds to provide email security for the smallest of networks to the largest carrier and service provider networks.
