Fortinet's Fortigate-60 packs six critical functions--firewall, VPN, antivirus, content filtering, and intrusion and DoS detection--into one compact, well-rounded appliance. The hardware sports two WAN interfaces for failover, and each function can be enabled as needed to integrate with existing security devices. The Fortigate-60 is ideal for small companies that need an all-in-one box while allowing for growth and filling niche enterprise needs. The breadth and depth of functionality made this device a shoo-in for Security Product of the Year. We found that its intuitive user interface let us configure all features properly the first time out. That's vitally important for shops without a ton of IT expertise. And the fact that it includes all the items on our wish list means you won't have to spring for additional technologies to erect a strong wall between you and the bad guys.
