FortiAI: Generative and Analytical Security

Fortinet is a pioneer in integrating AI across its broad security fabric. FortiAI is a sophisticated AI-powered appliance and service that uses Deep Neural Networks (DNN) to emulate human security analysts. It is designed to reduce the time it takes to identify and contain threats by performing sub-second investigations. FortiAI can analyze files and network traffic to detect advanced persistent threats (APTs) and zero-day malware that evade traditional sandbox technologies.

Recently, Fortinet expanded FortiAI to include Generative AI capabilities, acting as a security co-pilot. This allows security teams to use natural language queries to investigate incidents, generate remediation scripts, and manage complex configurations across the Fortinet Security Fabric. By embedding AI into its firewalls, endpoints, and cloud security solutions, Fortinet provides a self-healing network ecosystem that can adapt to new threats automatically, significantly reducing the manual effort required for effective cyber defense.
