FortiMail Virtual Email Security

FortiMail is designed to protect organizational email infrastructure against common email-based threats and unwanted content.

It can be deployed as an email gateway or as part of a broader messaging-security architecture and supports inbound and outbound email processing. Available FortiMail capabilities include anti-spam, antivirus, email filtering, encryption, and mail-transfer-agent functionality.

Typical applications include:

• Corporate email security
• Email gateway protection
• Anti-spam protection
• Malware and malicious attachment protection
• Email content filtering
• Secure email delivery
• Email encryption
• Email policy enforcement
• Virtualized data-center email security

FortiMail-VM02 License Tier

VM02 is Fortinet’s 2-CPU FortiMail VM license tier. Fortinet documentation identifies VM02 as supporting a maximum of 2 virtual CPUs.

According to Fortinet’s current resource documentation, VM02 supports:

This provides more virtual compute capacity than the VM01 tier and can be appropriate for email-security workloads requiring up to two virtual CPUs.

FortiGuard Base Bundle

The FortiGuard Base Bundle provides the security-service component of the contract.

FortiGuard services are an important part of maintaining FortiMail security capabilities because security services depend on current threat intelligence and protection updates.

Fortinet states that FortiMail VM licensing is required to unlock the full range of licensed capabilities. The trial version does not provide antispam and antivirus signature updates or the FortiGuard Antispam query, highlighting the importance of an active license/service entitlement for these services.

Maintaining this subscription helps keep the FortiMail-VM02 deployment within its applicable FortiGuard service entitlement during the contract period.

24×7 FortiCare Support

The FC-10-0VM02-642-02-12 contract includes 24×7 FortiCare support.

Continuous vendor support is valuable for organizations operating email infrastructure that requires professional assistance for troubleshooting, configuration, maintenance, and service-related issues.

The SKU is specifically listed as a FortiMail-VM02 1 Year 24×7 FortiCare and FortiGuard Base Bundle Contract.

Inbound & Outbound Email Protection

FortiMail can provide inbound and outbound proxy Mail Transfer Agent (MTA) services, allowing organizations to place email security between their mail infrastructure and external email services.

This architecture can help organizations apply security policies to email traffic before messages reach internal mail systems or leave the organization.

Common Deployment Scenarios

Inbound Email Security
Inspect incoming messages for spam, malware, and other unwanted content.

Outbound Email Security
Apply security policies to outgoing corporate email.

Email Gateway
Operate as a security gateway in front of existing mail infrastructure.

Virtual Data Center
Deploy the FortiMail VM within an existing virtualization environment.

Enterprise Messaging
Provide an additional security layer for business-critical email systems.

Virtualized Deployment

FortiMail-VM02 allows organizations to deploy FortiMail within their existing virtual infrastructure rather than requiring a dedicated physical email-security appliance.

This can provide greater deployment flexibility and allow organizations to allocate virtual CPU, memory, storage, and network resources according to their infrastructure requirements.

Fortinet’s VM02 resource limits support up to 2 virtual CPUs, 8 GB memory, 2 TB storage, and up to 4 virtual network interfaces.
