Highlights | Application Availability

Applications are the lifeblood of a company's online presence. Unresponsive applications can result in lost revenue and customers taking their future business elsewhere. Application performance, scalability, and resilience are key but none of this matters unless the end-user has a good experience and completes their transaction.

FortiADC is a dedicated Application Delivery Control solution that provides a multi-tenancy solution (VDOM and ADOM), high availability, and scalability with hybrid solution deployment (on-premises and cloud offering) to your applications.

Web Application Protection

FortiADC offers multiple levels of protection to defend against attacks that target your web applications. FortiADC Web Application Firewall provides multi layer protection against the OWASP Top 10 application attacks including Web Signatures to defend against known and unknown attacks along with APIs Security to protect against malicious actors by automatically enforcing security policies. Seamlessly integrate API security into your CI/CD pipeline.

Application Anywhere (GSLB)

FortiADC's included Global Server Load Balancing (GSLB) module on-prem or in the cloud (FortiGSLB Cloud) makes your network reliable and available by scaling applications across multiple data centers for disaster recovery or to improve application response times. Customers can set up rules based on site availability, data center performance, and network latency.

Highlights continued | Data Optimization

FortiADC provides multiple services that speed the delivery of applications to users. The PageSpeed suite of website performance enhancement tools can automatically optimize HTTP, CSS, Javascript, and image delivery to application users. FortiADC also provides Dynamic Caching and HTTP Compression and Decompression to improve end-user experience and server productivity.

Application Access Management

FortiADC provides centralized user authentication and authorization services to web applications. FortiADC acts as a gatekeeper to offload HTTP authentication and authorization to customer applications using single sign-on (SSO) services, SAML, LDAP, RADIUS, and MFA (using FortiToken Cloud and Google authenticator).
