Feel the Power
Your FortiGate is using components you won’t
see anywhere else. Most devices use a standard
CPU that is good at most things but great at
none.
Within your device is a unique SoC (System on
a Chip) that combines several security-focused
technologies designed by Fortinet. While
our most powerful products have dedicated
CP (Content Processors) and NP (Network
Processors), our desktop models share all the
groundbreaking technological discoveries at a
great price and small form factor.

Connection
