Fortinet, meanwhile, will build on its FortiGate series of ASIC-accelerated antivirus firewalls with a new low-end model, the FortiGate 50A, and the FortiWiFi 60, a wireless access point that doubles as a complete security gateway. The FortiWiFi 60 represents Fortinet's entry into wireless security, said Richard Kagan, vice president of marketing at the Sunnyvale, Calif.-based vendor.
"The introduction of wireless is under way, and the issues of deployment can't stop with the small business," Kagan said. "Companies are still focused on connection-oriented security [with wireless], which has nothing to do with content-based threats."
The company also plans to unveil its FortiLog logging and reporting solution to aid in compliance and forensic computing.
Atlanta-based Internet Security Systems (ISS) plans to launch two stand-alone software products: Proventia Web Filter and Proventia Mail Filter, which are based on technology acquired through the company's purchase of Cobion earlier this year.
Proventia Web Filter is a content-filtering product, while Proventia Mail Filter blocks spam and controls outbound mail by using Cobion's document-fingerprinting technology to scan for sensitive data in e-mail.
