VIETNAM TECHNICAL VIEW
These figures are not merely theoretical. Independent testing by Keysight Technologies using its BreakingPoint QuickTest platform validated that the FortiGate 700G can handle up to through its SSL Deep Inspection engine. The same tests demonstrated the firewall's exceptional threat detection efficacy, achieving an overall "A" grade by blocking 3,838 out of 3,930 malware samples and 1,708 out of 1,711 CVE threats . This level of performance solidifies the 700G's ability to secure enterprise edges without becoming a bottleneck for business-critical traffic.

The FortiGate 700G series represents a major evolutionary step for Fortinet. It is not merely a faster firewall; it is an intelligent, converged platform that anticipates the future needs of network security. By integrating AI-powered threat detection (FortiAI-Protect), post-quantum cryptography readiness, and ASIC-accelerated performance into an energy-efficient design, Fortinet has delivered a compelling solution for the modern campus and distributed enterprise.
For organizations looking to purchase, the FortiGate 700G is available through Fortinet’s extensive network of resellers and distributors. Typical orderable SKUs include:
One of the most interesting new features introduced with the 700G is , a module designed to detect and mitigate risks associated with generative AI (GenAI) usage. As employees increasingly use AI tools for everyday work — often without formal IT approval — organisations need visibility into which GenAI services are being accessed and what data is being shared. FortiAI‑Protect provides granular policy controls to block or restrict problematic GenAI behaviours while allowing legitimate use .
The new hardware landscape scales smoothly from compact branch office setups to demanding enterprise campus edges. Branch and Small Office (e.g., FortiGate 70G Series)
The (including the 70F and 71F ) is a high-performance, next-generation firewall (NGFW) designed for small to mid-sized businesses and enterprise branch offices. It delivers significant performance improvements over the older 60F model, specifically doubling the RAM to 4GB , which is crucial for modern security tasks like deep SSL inspection.
