Fortinet 's worldwide IPS engineering teams "follow the sun" allowing Fortinet to provide customers with real-time attack signatures. Using the global FortiGuard Distribution Network, FortiGate systems stop the most damaging attacks at the network border regardless of whether the network is a wired, wireless, partner extranet or branch office network connection.
