Cyber security firm Fortinet said its FortiGate SD-WAN product excelled in practically every category of the NSS Labs’ first Software-Defined Wide Area Networking (SD-WAN) Group Test. The company said the results of the tests showcased a number of advantages, including: highest quality of experience for VoIP – even under tough conditions, including environments with combinations of jitter, packet loss and latency, it delivered high quality of experience (QoE) for enterprise-grade voice and video applications – 4.38 out of 4.41 and 4.26 out of 4.53, respectively; lowest total cost of ownership per Mbps (VPN throughput) among all participating vendors at a ratio of $5@749 Mbps because of its custom-built security processors that rely on a new generation SOC3 (system-on-a-chip) to accelerates performance; and its native NGFW security blocked 100% of evasions and achieved 99.9% security effectiveness, proving that the solution can successfully protect branches from advanced attacks.
FortiGate SD-WAN is integrated into the Fortinet Security Fabric, providing organizations with a stronger security posture through transparent views of network security, centralized management controls, and threat intelligence sharing.
