Digital Edge Bureau 09 May, 2023 0 comment(s)Fortinet, the global cybersecurity leader driving the convergence of networking and security, has announced the FortiGate 600F Next-Generation Firewall (NGFW) received a recommended rating by CyberRatings.org, the industry’s independent third-party cybersecurity testing non-profit entity. Fortinet earned the highest possible ranking of ‘AAA’ across scoring categories including threat prevention, SSL/TLS functionality, stability & reliability, and routing & access control testing. These prove that FortiGate delivers the necessary security performance to address modern enterprise networking needs.
