Why FortiGate is the Smarter Choice in Network Security

 Sharp uses Fortinet FortiGate Next‑Generation Firewalls (NGFWs) to deliver advanced, all-in-one protection for your business network. Unlike traditional firewalls, FortiGate goes beyond basic filtering by combining multiple security functions into one powerful platform—keeping your data safe, your team connected, and your business running smoothly.  

What FortiGate Does:

  • Inspects Encrypted Traffic: With around 90% of internet traffic now encrypted, FortiGate uses SSL inspection to detect hidden threats others might miss.

  • Layers of Protection: Built-in features include intrusion prevention (IPS/IDS), antivirus, anti-malware, and web filtering, providing a strong, multi-layered defence against cyberattacks.

  • Centralised Control: FortiManager offers an easy-to-use dashboard for setting and managing security policies across multiple locations—saving time and reducing human error.

  • Smarter Deployment at Scale: With zero-touch provisioning and AI-powered orchestration, FortiGate is ideal for growing businesses that need secure, scalable connectivity across multiple sites.

FortiGate delivers proactive, enterprise-grade security that keeps your network protected, streamlines IT operations, and won't slow you down.

Frequently asked questions

What is managed WAN?

WAN stands for ‘Wide Area Network’. This type of network is typically used by businesses and organizations to connect multiple locations together over a single private network, improving speed, security and monitoring capabilities.  

A WAN may be used to securely connect multiple offices to a central server(s) at Head Office, or, more commonly in today’s world, to securely connect multiple branches to private or public Cloud applications with improved network speeds. 

As a Sharp WAN customer, you will benefit from an interconnected upstream network of tier 1 partners in New Zealand, Australia and the United States, offering high speed symmetrical Internet services and dedicated connectivity to some of the world’s largest public cloud environments, such as Microsoft Azure, Amazon (AWS) and Oracle.
