Fortinet is the Only Vendor with Security Capabilities to Receive SDWAN Recommended Rating in the First NSS Labs Software-Defined

August 2018 by Marc Jacob

Fortinet® announced its results from NSS Labs’ first Software-Defined Wide Area Networking (SD-WAN) Group
Test. Fortinet’s FortiGate SD-WAN excelled in every category assessed by NSS Labs, showcasing 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, FortiGate SD-WAN delivered high quality of
experience (QoE) for enterprise-grade voice and video applications. FortiGate SD-WAN
showcased robust results for voice and video applications of 4.38 out of 4.41 and 4.26 out of 4.53,
respectively.

Lowest total cost of ownership (TCO): FortiGate SD-WAN delivers the lowest TCO per Mbps
(VPN throughput) among all participating vendors at a ratio of $5@749 Mbps. This is because of
FortiGate SD-WAN’s custom-built security processors that rely on a new generation SOC3
(system-on-a-chip) to accelerates performance.

Native NGFW security: SD-WAN is commonly used by enterprises adopting digital transformation
to provide branches with direct internet connectivity and reduce latency while accessing cloud
applications. FortiGate SD-WAN with native NGFW security blocked 100 percent of evasions and
achieved 99.9 percent 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.

A Top Choice for Secure SD-WAN

Traditional WAN solutions are breaking under the pressure of digital transformation. Growing traffic volume
from the adoption of cloud services and increasing bandwidth consumption by voice and video are creating
network bottlenecks and higher costs. SD-WAN offers a compelling alternative, which is why many
enterprises are embracing it. But SD-WAN doesn’t come without its challenges, including degradation in
the quality of sensitive apps like video and voice, as well as difficulty managing performance and the breadth
of different applications and services. Additionally, many SD-WAN solutions aren’t natively secure, with
bolt-on security creating a fragmented solution model that presents security risks and inefficiencies.
Fortinet’s FortiGate SD-WAN tackles the most difficult challenges of secure SD-WAN deployment and was
the only NGFW security vendor to receive a “Recommended” rating in NSS Labs’ first-ever software-defined
wide area networking report. Voice and video, two of the most difficult business-critical functions to prevent
degradation, experienced virtually no loss of quality with FortiGate SD-WAN, even during brownout
conditions. The test results also showed FortiGate SD-WAN to deliver excellent VPN performance and
exceptional total cost of ownership. FortiGate SD-WAN is integrated into Fortinet’s award-winning next-generation firewall, which recently received a fifth consecutive “Recommended” rating from NSS Labs, blocking 100 percent of evasions and delivering high SSL performance. Combining high performance SD-WAN with an award-winning NGFW ensures organizations enjoy all the benefits of SD-WAN while keeping their data safe.

Organizations Around the World Deploy FortiGate SD-WAN

This announcement comes at the heels of recent customer traction showing that organizations around the world are increasingly choosing security and SD-WAN together via Fortinet’s FortiGate SD-WAN. The 2018 NSS Labs SD-WAN test results further prove that Fortinet delivers both an effective, low-cost SD-WAN solution and the right security to go with it, solidifying FortiGate SD-WAN as a compelling balance of security, performance and value.

FortiGate SD-WAN Works Within a Security Fabric Built Around NSS Labs-Recommended Solutions
