"The use of email as a business communications tool is critical to the smooth operations of the global economy today, so it is imperative for an email security product to not only block spam at the highest rates, but also at the speed at which business is being conducted."

FortiMail provides email security through device-based licensing, which offers better investment protection than a per-user licensing model.
