FortiMail Email Security

FortiMail is designed to provide dedicated security for organizational email infrastructure. It can be deployed to inspect and protect incoming and outgoing email traffic and can provide functions including antispam, antivirus, email filtering, archiving, logging, and reporting.

This makes FortiMail suitable for organizations that need an additional security layer around their corporate messaging infrastructure.

Typical applications include:

• Corporate email protection
• Email gateway security
• Anti-spam protection
• Malware and malicious attachment protection
• Email content filtering
• Email policy enforcement
• Email archiving and reporting

FortiMail-VM01 Virtual Appliance

The VM01 designation identifies the FortiMail virtual-machine license tier.

Fortinet’s current documentation lists the following VM licensing structure:

• VM01: 1 virtual CPU
• VM02: 2 virtual CPUs
• VM04: 4 virtual CPUs
• VM08: 8 virtual CPUs
• VM16: 16 virtual CPUs
• VM32: 32 virtual CPUs

For VM01, Fortinet specifies:

This makes VM01 a suitable option for organizations requiring a smaller virtual FortiMail deployment or a workload appropriate for a single virtual CPU.

FortiGuard Base Bundle

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

FortiGuard services are important to FortiMail because they provide updated security intelligence used by the platform’s email-protection capabilities. Fortinet notes that the trial version of FortiMail VM does not provide antispam and antivirus signature updates or the FortiGuard Antispam query, demonstrating the importance of an appropriate active license and service entitlement for these functions.

Maintaining the subscription helps organizations keep their FortiMail deployment connected to applicable FortiGuard services throughout the contract period.

24×7 FortiCare Support

The SKU includes 24×7 FortiCare support for the one-year contract period.

This support entitlement is valuable for organizations operating business-critical email infrastructure and provides access to Fortinet’s support resources for eligible technical and product-related issues.

Continuous support can assist organizations with:

• Troubleshooting
• Product configuration issues
• Software-related problems
• Deployment assistance
• Operational issues
• Maintenance and support requirements

Continuous Email Security Protection

Email remains an important attack vector for organizations, making continuously maintained email-security infrastructure essential.

FortiMail is designed to help organizations inspect email traffic and identify unwanted or malicious messages. Fortinet describes FortiMail as providing email protection capabilities including antispam and antivirus, with FortiGuard services supporting security intelligence and updates.

The FC-10-0VM01-642-02-12 subscription helps maintain the FortiMail VM01 environment with the specified FortiCare and FortiGuard service coverage.

Flexible Virtual Deployment

FortiMail virtual appliances are designed for on-premises and cloud deployments, allowing organizations to deploy email security within their existing virtualization infrastructure rather than requiring a dedicated physical appliance. Fortinet describes its FortiMail virtual appliances as scalable and configurable for private and public cloud environments.

This can provide organizations with:

• Flexible infrastructure deployment
• Easier integration with virtualized data centers
• Efficient use of existing compute resources
• Simplified expansion to larger VM license tiers when required
