Product Features
High-Performance Firewall Protection
The FG-100F provides enterprise-grade firewall throughput powered by dedicated security processing units (SPUs). Furthermore, it inspects traffic at high speeds without compromising network performance. The appliance supports stateful inspection, deep packet inspection, and advanced policy-based controls to secure inbound and outbound communications.
Integrated VPN Capabilities

We recently deployed Jazz Cyber Shield across our internal network, and it’s been outstanding so far. It runs smoothly, offers strong real-time protection, and gives us full visibility over endpoint security. The customer service was very good — fast response, knowledgeable support, and clear guidance during setup. Exactly what you want when securing your infrastructure.
We also ordered the FortiGate-100F Firewall (FG-100F) appliance, and it arrived promptly in perfect condition. Setup was straightforward, and the hardware is performing flawlessly. Even without a subscription, it’s a robust and reliable solution for network-level protection.

I recently ordered the Fortinet FortiGate-100F Firewall (FG-100F) – Appliance Only, No Subscription from Jazz Cyber Shield, and I couldn’t be more impressed with both the hardware and the service I received.
The unit arrived brand new, factory-sealed, and with a clean serial number, making it eligible for subscription activation through Fortinet without any issues. This is critical for long-term use and future service renewals.
In terms of performance, the FortiGate-100F is a powerhouse. It’s perfect for our mid-sized enterprise environment, offering advanced routing, SD-WAN support, and exceptional throughput capacity. Even without the subscription, its built-in features provide a solid level of security right out of the box.
What truly stood out was the customer care from Jazz Cyber Shield. Their team helped confirm license compatibility, provided a quick turnaround on shipping, and kept me informed throughout the process. It’s reassuring to deal with a vendor that understands enterprise IT requirements.
Highly recommended for anyone looking for authentic Fortinet hardware and a supplier they can trust. I’ll be back for subscriptions and future network upgrades.
