Fortinet FortiWeb 4000E.
Top-of-line legacy WAF for large enterprise data centers.
The FortiWeb 4000E was the flagship of the E-series lineup, delivering 20 Gbps of protected throughput for
large enterprise data centers and high-traffic, PCI-DSS-scope web properties. It combines hardware SSL
offload, built-in load balancing, and a built-in vulnerability scanner in a dual-power-supply 2U chassis.
The Fortinet FortiWeb 4000E is a Web Application Firewall (WAF) that inspects
HTTP/HTTPS traffic to protect web applications and APIs from OWASP Top 10 attacks, bot abuse, and
zero-day exploits. It is typically deployed by large enterprise data centers and high-traffic,
PCI-DSS-scope web properties.
The FortiWeb 4000E is rated for up to 20 Gbps of protected WAF throughput. Actual
throughput depends on which inspection features (SSL offload, deep content inspection, bot mitigation)
are enabled.
The 4000E is a legacy model, superseded by the current FortiWeb 4000F; it no longer
appears on Fortinet's current datasheet. Contact us to confirm current availability or to spec a 4000F
replacement.
Yes. FortiWeb supports Active-Passive and Active-Active HA clustering so you can
eliminate single points of failure in front of production web applications.
FortiWeb models scale by throughput, port density, and storage rather than feature
set — the full WAF, bot mitigation, and API protection feature set is available across the line.
Choose the FortiWeb 4000E based on your traffic volume and required interface types; see the
comparison table below for the full lineup.
