FortiGuard Security Service Bundles
FortiGate NGFWs integrate with three FortiGuard service bundles, giving organizations the flexibility to match protection levels with their specific risk profiles and budgets.
ATP Bundle - Essential Protection
Foundational security covering IPS, antivirus, application control, FortiSandbox SaaS, and inline CASB. The right starting point for core network and file-based threat defense.
UTP Bundle - Advanced Web and Network Defense
Builds on ATP with URL and DNS filtering, video filtering, and anti-botnet and command-and-control (C2) communication blocking. Recommended for organizations facing elevated web-based threat exposure.
ENT Bundle - Comprehensive Enterprise Security
The most complete option, combining everything in ATP and UTP with Data Loss Prevention (DLP), AI-based inline malware prevention, attack surface monitoring, risk scoring, and IoT detection with vulnerability correlation. Designed for organizations requiring full-spectrum security with the lowest cost-per-service.

Use Cases
Enterprise Campus and Branch Security
Centralize visibility and policy management across distributed locations. FortiGate's integrated SD-WAN and ZTNA eliminate the need for separate WAN optimization and remote access tools.
Data Center and AI Data Center Security
Deploy hyperscale inspection, deep packet analysis, and SSL decryption that scales to meet the demands of modern data-intensive workloads - including AI infrastructure environments.
Hybrid and Multi-Cloud Environments
Enforce consistent security policies across private clouds, public clouds, and telco infrastructure. FortiGate virtual and cloud-native NGFWs maintain the same policy model as on-premises hardware.
OT and Industrial Security
Purpose-built ruggedized FortiGate models protect mission-critical operational technology environments against cyber threats without disrupting industrial processes.
Secure Remote Access
FortiGate's built-in ZTNA and VPN capabilities provide flexible, identity-verified access for remote and hybrid workforces - replacing legacy VPN with a zero-trust model.
