Figure 223: Example SOHO network before FortiGate installation
Company A requires secure connections for home-based workers. Like many companies,
they rely heavily on email and Internet access to conduct business. They want a
comprehensive security solution to detect and prevent network attacks, block viruses, and
decrease spam. They want to apply different protection settings for different departments.
They also want to integrate web and email servers into the security solution.
To deal with their first requirement, Company A configures specific policies for each
home-based worker to ensure secure communication between the home-based worker
and the internal network.
