FortiGuard庐 Application Control Service

Application Control (AC) protects managed desktops and servers by allowing or denying network application usage based on policies established by the network administrator. Enterprise applications, databases, web mail, social networking applications, IM/P2P, and file transfer protocols can all be identified accurately by sophisticated detection signatures.

Most manufacturers were able to offer two out of our three desired security functions but Fortinet was the only vendor with the capability to provide all three in a single security solution, while meeting our high expectations in terms of performance and cost effectiveness. On top of providing first-class security, the flexibility of the FortiGate systems allows our security solution to evolve on a per-region basis, as and when required. Moving forward, Fortinet's integrated approach means that other security functions such as SSL VPN, firewall and traffic shaping can be switched as per a country's individual requirements. As a fast-growing acquisitive company, this made for a very compelling proposition.
