What Fortinet products do you deploy?

We primarily deploy FortiGate firewalls for perimeter security, FortiSwitch for managed switching, and FortiAP for enterprise wireless. The specific models depend on your office size, user count, and throughput needs. We'll recommend the right fit during a site assessment.

Do you manage FortiGate firewalls remotely?

Yes. We manage firmware updates, security policy changes, VPN configurations, and threat monitoring remotely through FortiCloud and our RMM tools. If on-site work is needed (hardware replacement, cabling changes), we schedule it with your team.

How does FortiGate compare to other firewalls?

FortiGate consistently ranks well in independent testing for throughput and threat detection. For SMBs, it offers a good balance of security features and price. We chose Fortinet because the hardware is reliable, the licensing is straightforward, and the Security Fabric integrates firewalls, switches, and access points into one management plane.

Can you upgrade our existing firewall to Fortinet?

Yes. We handle the full migration — documenting your current rules, designing the new configuration, and scheduling a cutover window to minimize downtime. We test everything before going live and keep the old firewall available for rollback during the transition period.

What does Fortinet support cost?

It depends on the scope. Firewall-only management (monitoring, patching, rule changes) is less than full network management (firewall + switches + wireless + VPN). We give you a fixed monthly cost based on your specific environment. No per-incident fees.

Do we need a firewall if we use cloud services?

Yes. Even if your servers are in Azure or AWS, your office network still needs perimeter security. A FortiGate firewall protects your local network, controls what traffic enters and leaves, provides VPN for remote workers, and segments your network to contain threats. Cloud doesn't replace network security — it changes where you apply it.
