About the FortiGate 50E

The FortiGate 50E delivers secure SD-WAN, advanced threat protection, and unified security features in a compact form factor. As a legacy model, the hardware is discontinued but still eligible for valid FortiGuard and FortiCare subscription renewals, ensuring ongoing security updates and support.

Powered by Fortinet’s Security Processor technology, the 50E provided up to 2.5 Gbps firewall throughput, IPS inspection at 350 Mbps, and threat protection at 160 Mbps. Its fanless design, dual WAN ports, and integration with Fortinet’s Security Fabric made it popular among small businesses and branch offices.

Organizations currently using the FortiGate 50E are advised to plan an upgrade to the latest FortiGate models for improved SSL inspection, higher threat-protection performance, and long-term support availability.
