FortiProxy 4000F Secure Web Gateway Appliance

The FortiProxy 4000F is a dedicated secure web gateway appliance engineered for explicit and transparent proxy deployment in large-scale enterprise networks. It delivers SSL/TLS inspection, advanced web filtering, and threat prevention across encrypted traffic without requiring separate inspection appliances, consolidating proxy and security functions on a single platform purpose-built for high-throughput environments.

Designed to replace legacy proxy hardware from vendors such as Blue Coat and Symantec, the FortiProxy 4000F integrates Fortinet's FortiGuard threat intelligence, Application Control, and Data Loss Prevention capabilities. The appliance supports both explicit proxy mode (PAC/WPAD configuration) and transparent proxy mode for inline deployment, enabling organizations to enforce consistent security policies across web traffic regardless of client configuration.

The platform is architected to meet regulatory and security mandates in banking, government, and financial services sectors where SSL inspection and comprehensive logging of encrypted web sessions are required. Native integration with Fortinet's Security Fabric enables correlation with firewall, endpoint, and sandbox telemetry for coordinated threat response.

Ideal for

• SSL/TLS decryption and inspection of encrypted web traffic in regulated industries requiring content visibility and compliance logging
• Web filtering and threat prevention for large distributed user populations across multiple branch offices and data centers
• Transparent proxy deployment in government and financial services networks to enforce egress filtering without client-side configuration
• Advanced threat detection and blocking of malware, command-and-control callbacks, and data exfiltration attempts within web traffic
• Application-level control and bandwidth management for SaaS and cloud application usage policies
• Data Loss Prevention (DLP) scanning of web uploads, email attachments transmitted via webmail, and sensitive data patterns in HTTP/HTTPS sessions
