Overview
Fortinet continues to innovate and create new Security Processing Units (SPUs) to fulfill
one of our key founding principles: security devices should never become a performance
bottleneck within a network and security architecture, nor should they sacrifice visibility,
user experience, or security to achieve a required application performance. In short, to
realize the promise of digital innovation.

Security Compute Rating

The Fortinet family of SPUs radically increase the speed, scale, and performance of
Fortinet solutions that can be characterized by measuring the Security Compute Rating.
SPU leapfrogs competitors with the industry’s highest Security Compute Ratings for the
following benchmarks:

 Stateful Firewall Throughput

 IPsec VPN Performance
 Concurrent Sessions
 Sessions per Second
 Threat Protection
 SSL Inspection

Security Compute Rating is a benchmark that compares the network and security
performance of the Fortinet purpose-built ASIC-based NGFW with other NGFWs that fall
in the same price range and are built with general-purpose CPUs.
Investing in Innovation
Fortinet continues to innovate and set industry records for performance by achieving the
highest security compute ratings delivering consistent security across all enterprise
edges with the Fortinet secure networking framework.

The Fortinet Family of SPUs delivers best-of-breed security, scale, and performance
across hyperscale data centers to SD-WAN enabled branches and campus locations, all
without sacrificing performance or user experience.
