Fortinet, the global cybersecurity leader driving the convergence of networking
and security, today announced the FortiGate 700G series, a next-generation firewall (NGFW)
purpose-built for the modern campus. Powered by Fortinet’s proprietary Network Processor 7 (NP7),
Security Processor 5 (SP5) ASIC, and FortiOS, Fortinet’s unified operating system, the FortiGate
700G series delivers up to 7x higher firewall throughput, 4x better threat protection, and 7x lower
power consumption than competitor offerings. With support for advanced networking, FortiGuard AI-
Powered Security Services, and new FortiOS enhancements, including post-quantum cryptography
readiness, FortiAI-Protect for AI-driven threat detection, and generative AI (GenAI) risk assessment,
the FortiGate 700G helps organizations reduce risk, optimize performance, and future-proof hybrid
IT environments.
“With the FortiGate 700G series, we’re delivering more than just industry-leading performance that
customers have come to expect from Fortinet—we’re equipping organizations with advanced
capabilities to stay ahead of current and emerging cyberthreats,” said Nirav Shah, Senior Vice
President, Products and Solutions, at Fortinet. “From AI-powered threat detection and GenAI risk
mitigation with FortiAI-Protect to post-quantum cryptography readiness built into FortiOS, this new
next-generation firewall series helps our customers consolidate infrastructure, reduce cyber risk, and
confidently build for the future.”
FortiGate 700G: Industry-leading Performance with AI-Powered Security
Today’s enterprises are under pressure to scale operations, secure expanding attack surfaces, and
manage increasingly sophisticated cyberthreats while reducing costs and maintaining efficiency. The
FortiGate 700G series is engineered to meet these demands, offering:
Unmatched performance and security: Delivering 7x higher firewall throughput (164 Gbps)
and 4x better threat protection (26 Gbps) than the industry average, the FortiGate 700G
series ensures businesses maintain high-speed, secure operations.
Energy resilience through ultra-efficient design: The FortiGate 700G series enables
continuous security even in energy-constrained or sustainability-focused environments.
Consuming 7x fewer watts per Gbps than the industry average, the FortiGate 700G series
sets the standard for energy efficiency and significantly reduces operational costs.
Enhanced threat detection and response with AI-powered security: As attackers
increasingly weaponize AI and automate cyberattacks, FortiGuard AI-Powered Security
Services, enhanced by FortiAI-Protect, enables organizations to detect and block emerging,
unknown, and increasingly sophisticated threats. FortiAI-Protect also delivers contextual risk
assessments and enforces access controls for third-party GenAI applications, providing
visibility into shadow AI usage across business groups and helping improve the overall data
security posture of organizations.
Post-quantum cryptography readiness: New FortiOS capabilities help protect sensitive
data against quantum-era threats by enabling quantum-resistant encryption, algorithm
stacking for enhanced protection, and a seamless transition to post-quantum security, ideal
for organizations in finance, healthcare, government, and other sectors handling long-term
sensitive information.
Support for a wide range of network interfaces, ranging from 5GE to 25GE: Ensuring
the flexibility to connect various devices and topologies, the FortiGate 700G series enables
organizations to seamlessly adapt to developing technologies and accommodate future
upgrades without costly overhauls.
Deeper protections for critical system files: FortiSentry is a unique out-of-band hardware
module that provides continuous, non-intrusive file-system monitoring, adding another layer
of protection to detect and prevent unauthorized access to critical system files.
Fortinet Security Fabric: Powering a Unified and Scalable Cybersecurity Platform
At the core of Fortinet’s approach is the belief that effective cybersecurity starts with the
convergence of networking and security. The Fortinet Security Fabric, an integrated platform built on
a common operating system and purpose-built technologies like the FortiGate 700G series, delivers
consistent protection across hybrid environments. It empowers organizations with centralized
management, automated threat intelligence, and real-time visibility. With seamless integration
across Fortinet and third-party solutions, the Fortinet Security Fabric helps customers confidently
scale from foundational network protection to advanced capabilities like SASE and AI-driven security
operations. Fortinet continues to innovate and enable businesses to simplify complexity, reduce risk,
and evolve their cybersecurity strategy with a platform approach that grows with them.
