FortiClient(TM) Desktop Antivirus, Firewall and VPN Security Software
Recognized for its Outstanding Antivirus Capabilities
SUNNYVALE, Calif., Feb. 14 /PRNewswire/ -- Fortinet -- the confirmed
market leader in Unified Threat Management and only provider of
ASIC-accelerated, network-based antivirus firewall systems for real-time
network protection -- today announced that its FortiClient Host Security
software has received the Virus Bulletin 100% award for its exemplary
virus-detection capabilities. The Virus Bulletin (VB) 100% awards recognize
products that have been tested by independent experts and proven to accurately
detect 100 percent of viruses known to be 'in the wild,' which constitutes
real-world viruses. Fortinet is the only network security vendor to date to
receive a unique and in-demand set of security certifications -- VB 100% for
its desktop software, NSS certification for its intrusion prevention system
(IPS) technology and ICSA certification for four distinct security
applications: antivirus, firewall, intrusion detection/prevention and IPSec
VPN.
Virus Bulletin staff tested various antivirus products for their detection
rates, lack of false positives and speed of scanning on the Windows NT
platform. Fortinet's receipt of the VB 100% award for its FortiClient
software validates the company's consistent investment in internally-developed
antivirus technology and expertise in protecting against viruses at both the
client and network level -- a key criteria for any size enterprise.
Fortinet's FortiClient Host Security software addresses the need for
secure access and endpoint protection for telecommuters, mobile workers,
remote sites and partners. An easy-to use IPSec VPN software solution,
FortiClient features host antivirus, host anti-spyware, a personal firewall
and registry monitoring. FortiClient supports the most popular Microsoft
Windows operating systems natively and also includes network address
translation (NAT) traversal, centralized policy management, multiple policy
support for access to multiple devices, strong encryption, and a comprehensive
set of tools for troubleshooting. Designed to extend real-time protection to
the desktop and mobile users, FortiClient automatically removes viruses,
spyware, worms and other network threats by scanning and cleaning both
incoming and outgoing email messages.
"We are proud to receive the Virus Bulletin 100% award, a highly-coveted
accolade in the antivirus industry from one of the most respected antivirus
testing organizations in the world," said Richard Hanke, vice president of
product management at Fortinet. "This award is a testament to Fortinet's
strength in the antivirus security market, the technical prowess of our
FortiClient host antivirus technology and our ability to providing end-to-end
