The web security appliance provides application and XML firewalling to protect and accelerate web applications, databases and the information exchanged between them.
It is the first in a family of Fortinet web application security appliances.
Together with Fortinet's FortiDB database security product, the FortiWeb-1000B it supports the growing prevalence of cloud computing and other enterprise activities that need to access confidential and personal data over the Internet or intranets.
"Following the introduction of our FortiDB database security appliance family last year, we are further extending our protection to the web traffic going to and coming from those databases for a more comprehensive approach toward data protection," said Michael Xie, CTO and co-founder, Fortinet.
"The expansion of our core FortiGate network security gateways to include data and web application security appliances enables Fortinet to better provide customers a broad solution for protecting networks and applications at the core and perimeter."
The FortiWeb appliance sits inline in front of web application servers, while the FortiDB is deployed out of band, automatically monitoring, auditing and scanning databases.
Deploying these devices in tandem provides multiple layers of security to prevent numerous types of threats originating from multiple vectors.
