Autonomous AI-Driven Defense for High-Impact DDoS Attacks

The Fortinet FortiDDoS 1500E is a purpose-built DDoS protection appliance designed to defend large attack surfaces with zero manual intervention. Using a massively parallel machine-learning architecture, it inspects 100% of Layer 3, 4, and 7 traffic in real time, detecting and mitigating attacks from the first packet. Unlike signature-based systems, FortiDDoS 1500E builds adaptive behavioral baselines, ensuring accurate protection against both known and zero-day DDoS threats without performance compromise.

Key Benefits & Features

• 100% Packet Inspection: Full bidirectional inspection of all L3, L4, and L7 packets ensures precise detection even for small-packet and multi-vector attacks.
• Autonomous Machine Learning: Continuously analyzes hundreds of thousands of parameters to establish normal traffic baselines and instantly mitigate anomalies.
• High-Capacity Mitigation: Supports up to 40 Gbps inspected throughput and up to 280 Gbps maximum mitigation for large-scale volumetric attacks.
• Invisible Inline Deployment: Operates without IP or MAC addresses in the data path, remaining completely transparent to attackers.
• Advanced DNS and NTP Protection: Stops DNS and NTP reflection floods from the first packet, supporting up to 12 million DNS QPS and 6 million NTP QPS.

Ideal Use Cases

• Internet service providers and carriers protecting backbone infrastructure
• Large enterprises with public-facing applications and services
• Data centers and hosting providers requiring always-on DDoS mitigation
• Financial institutions with strict uptime and security requirements
• Managed security service providers offering DDoS protection services

Technical Specifications

• DDoS Defense Ports: 10 port-pairs (8 x 10GE SFP+/SFP, 2 x 40GE QSFP+ or 100GE QSFP28)
• Inspected Throughput: 40 Gbps / 38 Mpps
• Maximum Mitigation: Up to 280 Gbps
• Storage: 960 GB SSD
