About this document Introduction
FortiAnalyzer
FortiAnalyzer™ provides network administrators with the information they need to
enable the best protection and security for their networks and monitor against
attacks and vulnerabilities. The FortiAnalyzer unit features include:
• collecting logs from FortiGate, FortiManager, FortiMail devices and syslog
devices
• generating reports on network use, vulnerabilities, and traffic patterns.
• storing quarantined files from a FortiGate unit and archived content from email
and IM conversations.
The FortiAnalyzer unit can also be configured as a network analyzer to capture
real-time traffic on areas of your network where firewalls are not employed. You
can also use the unit as a storage device where users can access and share files,
including the reports and logs that are saved on the FortiAnalyzer hard disk.
FortiReporter
FortiReporter™ Security Analyzer software generates easy-to-understand reports
and can collect logs from any FortiGate unit, as well as over 30 network and
security devices from third-party vendors. FortiReporter reveals network abuse,
manages bandwidth requirements, monitors web usage, and ensures employees
are using the office network appropriately. FortiReporter allows IT administrators
to identify and respond to attacks, including identifying ways to proactively secure
their networks before security threats arise.
FortiBridge
FortiBridge™ products are designed to provide enterprise organizations with
continuous network traffic flow in the event of a power outage or a FortiGate
system failure. The FortiBridge unit bypasses the FortiGate unit to ensure that the
network can continue processing traffic. FortiBridge products are easy to use and
deploy, and you can customize the actions a FortiBridge unit takes when a power
failure or a FortiGate system failure occurs.
FortiManager
The FortiManager™ system is designed to meet the needs of large enterprises
(including managed security service providers) responsible for establishing and
maintaining security policies across many dispersed FortiGate installations. With
this system, you can configure multiple FortiGate devices and monitor their status.
You can also view real-time and historical logs for the FortiGate devices, including
updating firmware images of managed FortiGate devices. The FortiManager
System emphasizes ease of use, including easy integration with third party
systems.
