Fortinet and Polycom enable secure Voice and Video-over-IP

Fortinet expanded its presence in the Voice and Video-over-Internet Protocol
(V2oIP) market with the launch of new firmware in its FortiGate systems that
enables secure and real-time VoIP and V2oIP. The company has worked with leading
unified collaborative communications (UCC) provider Polycom, to deploy FortiGate
systems to enable secure, single and multi-point V2oIP conference calls with
Polycom's PathNavigator. It demonstrates the inter-operability and seamless
integration between Polycom's voice and video technology and Fortinet's
network security appliances.

Fortinet will demonstrate this technology and discuss the intersection of
broadcast over IP networks' security needs in Las Vegas. This demonstration
will display how Fortinet protects customers' video, data and voice traffic
against common real-time traffic security concerns including registration
hijacking, impersonating a server, tampering with message bodies, tearing down
sessions and denial of service (DOS).

"It is imperative we ensure our customers' voice and video conference
calls are not only of excellent sound and video quality, but also secure given
today's Internet threat climate, where networks are always exposed to the
latest threats unless properly protected," said Ed Ellett, Senior VP and GM
of the Video Systems Division at Polycom. Securing customers' V2oIP conference
calls is a top priority for the company.

Simplified V2oIP dialing through IP network security is a major enabler of
high-quality, converged voice/data applications.
