Overview

The FortiGate 400F is a 1U next-generation firewall (NGFW) built on Fortinet’s ASIC-based architecture, delivering high throughput and multi-gigabit connectivity. It integrates firewall, VPN, intrusion prevention, SSL inspection and application control under FortiOS — making it a robust security gateway for mid- to large-enterprise network edges, campus cores, or distributed data-centre perimeters.

Ideal deployment:

The FortiGate 400F is well suited for enterprise WAN edge gateways, campus cores or distributed office networks that need a balance of throughput, VPN capacity, and security services without moving to high-end, large-scale appliances.

It fits use cases like internet uplink security, site-to-site VPN termination, branch or regional office edge, SSL inspection and threat protection for mid-size traffic volumes. The interface flexibility and session capacity also make it ideal for managed SD-WAN, hybrid-cloud gateways, or multi-site enterprise security perimeters.
