We mean a next generation firewall that reliably delivers high-speed performance and advanced security at a cost-efficient \u201cpound for pound\u201d level. Many third party authorities such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nsslabs.com\/tested-technologies\/next-generation-firewall-ngfw\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">NSS Labs<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fortinet.com\/solutions\/gartner-network-firewalls.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Gartner<\/a> measure and quantify high quality, affordable firewalls. This is often done with metrics like &#8220;Total Cost of Ownership&#8221; and &#8220;Price per Protected Mbps.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Firewall vendors are constantly racing to extend enterprise-grade, multi-gig firewalls to smaller and smaller user bases. The Next Generation Firewall (NGFW) era has grown fully ripe. Now savvy SMBs can get even newer next-er generations of NGFWs. If they know where to look.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Fortinet 40F &#8211; Affordable firewall with jaw-dropping stats<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The FortiGate 40F launched in 2020 as part of Fortinet&#8217;s new F-Series firewalls.
