Role of the FortiGate-60D-LENC:
A compact security appliance typically deployed in small branches or remote sites to provide essential firewalling and connectivity functions.
Evolving Traffic Patterns:
Remote and branch locations increasingly drive cloud traffic and encrypted sessions, putting pressure on older devices’ inspection and routing performance.
Modern Demands:
Expectations now include centralized policy control, improved threat analytics, efficient SSL/TLS handling, and integration with cloud and SD-WAN services.
Strategic Upgrade:
Choose a successor platform that delivers greater inspection capacity, centralized orchestration, and advanced threat protections to simplify operations and extend effective lifecycle coverage across distributed deployments.
No Security Patches
Outdated devices won’t receive updates, leaving your network exposed to new vulnerabilities.
Lack of Vendor Support
Once support ends, there’s no access to Fortinet’s technical resources or RMA services.
Compliance Failures
Auditors may flag unsupported hardware as a violation of security and industry standards.
Operational Instability
Legacy devices may struggle with modern workloads, encrypted traffic, and cloud integrations.
Lifecycle Planning:
Track Fortinet GA → EOS → EOL → EOSL.
Seamless Migration:
Dedicated engineers ensure minimal downtime.
Future-Proof Security:
Replace with next-gen models aligned to your needs.
