FortiADC is an advanced Application Delivery Controller (ADC) that ensures application, application security, and application optimization. FortiADC offers advanced security features (WAF, DDoS, and AV) and application connectors for easy deployment and full visibility to your networks and applications. FortiADC can be deployed as a physical or virtual machine (VM), or as a Cloud solution.
Application
Applications are the lifeblood of a company's online presence. Unresponsive applications can result in lost revenue and customers taking their future business elsewhere. Application performance, scalability, and resilience are key but none of this matters unless the end-user has a good experience and completes their transaction.
FortiADC is a dedicated Application Delivery Control solution that provides a multi-tenancy solution (VDOM).
SSL Security
FortiADC delivers high capacity decryption and encryption with the latest cryptography standard using hardware-based SSL ASIC. FortiADC provides SSL offloading, SSL inspection and visibility to inspect traffic for threats, speeds up server response, and reduces the load on the backend server. FortiADC also integrates with Gemalto's SafeNet Enterprise Hardware Security Module (HSM).
Business Continuity
FortiADC's Global Server Load Balancing (GSLB) module on-prem or in the cloud (FortiGSLB Cloud) makes your network reliable.
Application Protection
FortiADC offers multiple levels of protection to defend against attacks that target your web applications. FortiADC Web Application Firewall can detect a zero day attack and protect from OWASP Top 10 and many other threats with multi-vector protection. FortiADC also supports FortiGuard Cloud which provides multi services such as IPS, Antivirus, and IP Reputation service (subscription required) that protects you from sources associated with DoS/DDoS attacks, phishing schemes, spammers, malicious software, and botnets.
Application Optimization
FortiADC provides multiple services that speed the delivery of applications to users. The PageSpeed suite of website performance enhancement tools can automatically optimize HTTP, CSS, Javascript, and image delivery to application users. FortiADC also provides Dynamic Caching and HTTP Compression and Decompression to improve end-user experience and server productivity.
FortiADC Security Fabric
As the threat landscape evolves, many risks require a multi-pronged approach for protecting applications. FortiADC's antivirus and integration with FortiSandbox extend basic security protections to scan file attachments for known and unknown threats.
Automation and Connectors
FortiADC Fabric Connectors provide open API-based integration and orchestration with multiple software-defined networks (SDN), cloud, management, and partner technology platforms. Fortinet Fabric Connectors deliver turnkey, open,and deep integration into third party services such as K8s, AWS, OCI, and SAP, in multi-vendor ecosystems, enabling scalability, security automation, and simplified management.
Unleash the Power of Scripts
FortiADC Scripts provides the flexibility to create custom event-driven rules using predefined commands, variables, and operators. Using easy-to-create scripts, you get the flexibility you need to extend your FortiADC with specialized business rules that give you almost unlimited possibilities for server load balancing, health checks, application validation, content routing, and content rewriting to meet the needs of your organization.
Application Authentication
FortiADC provides centralized user authentication and authorization services to web applications. FortiADC acts as a gatekeeper to offload HTTP authentication and authorization to customer applications using single sign-on (SSO) services, SAML, LDAP, RADIUS, and MFA (using FortiToken Cloud and Google authenticator).
WAN Optimization
FortiADC provides a built-in link optimization with the Link Load Balancing module. Customers can create two or more WAN links (for inbound and outbound Link LB) to reduce the risk of outages or to add additional bandwidth to relieve traffic congestion.
