Content Processing Unit 9 (CP9) Engineered for Protection

NP7 runs at the network layer to speed functions that typically slow CPUs, such as IPv4, IPv6, unicast, and multicast. In addition, NP7 accelerates IPsec decryption, VXLAN termination, and address translation, while providing hardware logging and policy enforcement.

Category:

The ninth generation of Fortinet Content Processor, CP9, is designed for protection. CP9 works as a CPU co-processor, taking on resource-intensive security functions such as Application Identification, IPS (pre-scan, signature correlation, etc.), and antivirus, so the CPU can perform other important tasks.

CP9 also performs pattern matching acceleration, fast inspection of real-time traffic for application identification, all without compromising user experience.

Key Benefits

  • Manages internal and external risks while reducing complexity
  • Protects applications while optimizing user experience
  • Removes blind spots while minimizing performance degradation

Use Cases

  • Gain full visibility into clear-text and encrypted traffic flows to implement granular web policies
  • Automatically detect and remediate malware
  • Implement safety compliance measures such as the Children’s Internet Protection Act (CIPA)
