Frequently Asked Questions

Technical answers regarding Fortinet SPU ASIC acceleration, TLS 1.3 SSL decryption overhead, ZTNA vs traditional IPsec VPN, and High-Availability (HA) failover.

1. How does Fortinet SPU ASIC hardware acceleration prevent firewall performance bottlenecks?

▼

Standard firewalls use general-purpose CPUs to process network traffic, causing severe slowdowns when IPS and SSL decryption are turned on. Fortinet FortiGate appliances feature custom SPU (Security Processing Unit) ASICs—such as the NP7 Network Processor for packet switching and CP9 Content Processor for pattern matching and crypto acceleration—offloading heavy security computation to dedicated silicon.

2. Why is hardware-driven TLS 1.3 / SSL inspection mandatory for enterprise network security?

▼

More than 85% of all web traffic and over 70% of malware communications use HTTPS encryption to evade inspection. Without SSL decryption enabled on your firewall, security services like IPS, Antivirus, and Web Filtering are blind to encrypted payloads. Hardware-accelerated SSL decryption inspects payloads in real time without creating latency bottlenecks.

3. How does Zero-Trust Network Access (ZTNA) improve security over legacy SSL-VPN?

▼

Traditional VPNs grant remote users broad access to the entire corporate network once authenticated. ZTNA replaces blanket network access with micro-segmented, per-application access tunnels. User identity, device security health, and context are verified continuously before access to any specific application is granted, preventing lateral movement of malware.

4. What is the difference between Active-Passive and Active-Active High-Availability (HA) firewall clusters?

▼

In an Active-Passive HA setup, the primary firewall handles 100% of traffic while the standby firewall continuously mirrors session state tables. If the primary unit fails, the standby takes over in under 1 second without dropping active connections. In Active-Active HA, both firewalls process traffic simultaneously to double throughput while sharing connection states.

5. How does Sophos Xstream architecture accelerate trusted application traffic?

▼

Sophos XGS appliances feature a dedicated Xstream Flow Processor alongside the main CPU. Once a trusted application connection (e.g. Zoom, Microsoft 365, VoIP) has been inspected and verified, the Xstream Flow Processor offloads that traffic directly to the fast path, freeing up main CPU capacity for deep inspection of untrusted traffic.
