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)
