Revolutionize your cybersecurity with FortiAI and WWT

When talking about security or automation, AI has become a required bullet point for any meeting, email, instant message or discussion. This is the case for any security operations center (SOC), SIEM data and management of infrastructure. FortiSOAR and FortiSIEM services deliver an array of sensors that harness AI and advanced analytics to continuously monitor activity across devices, users, files, networks, emails, applications, clouds, logs and even the dark web for potential cyber threats. 

FortiAI

Fortinet is bringing FortiAI to the front of these discussions and has created a product that integrates with several Fortinet products and solutions today. 

Together, WWT and Fortinet have the required AI to help companies navigate the large and complicated landscape of cybersecurity and continue to evolve into the future. FortiAI is integrated with FortiSOAR and FortiSIEM services, and FortiManager and FortiAnalyzer, which allows for on-device AI.

SecOPs integration

FortiAI has been integrated with Security Orchestration, Automation and Response (SOAR) and Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) via the FortiSOAR and FortiSIEM SecOps products, which are designed to enhance threat investigation and response.

FortiSOAR

FortiAI enhances the FortiSOAR experience by performing tasks such as threat investigation, response and playbook creation. It provides answers and detailed guidance for incident management, including insights on threat detection and playbook recommendations. When creating playbooks, FortiAI offers guidance, templates and complete playbooks ready for deployment into your environment.

FortiSIEM

FortiAI enhances and streamlines the FortiSIEM support by assisting with incident investigation, response and hunting for threats or false positives. It interprets security events, providing detailed summaries, assessing potential impacts and offering recommendations to help mitigate the incident. Analysts can interact with FortiAI using natural language to craft complex database queries, generate comprehensive reports and perform various product functions. Integrated prompts assist analysts in accessing FortiAI's assistance.

FortiAI key features

One space where AI has become a discussion point is on-device AI. Customers are looking to keep their sensitive data on-premises versus sending it to a provider to use their AI, SIEM or SOAR products. FortiAI has now been integrated into FortiManager and FortiAnalyzer. FortiAI with FortiManager and FortiAnalyzer unifies configurations, events and alerts into a single pane of glass. This integration simplifies data management and log aggregation, providing visibility across your infrastructure. When using these products in your data center or cloud instances, you can utilize FortiAI to help troubleshoot, review data, and create firewall policies and templates. 

FortiAI on FortiManager transforms network management by leveraging generative AI to assist in creation of complex tasks and boost operational performance. This solution provides advanced scripting support, proactive diagnostics for IoT vulnerabilities, and automated network maintenance. It enables IT teams with limited coding experience to accelerate configurations, minimize errors, detect device vulnerabilities and make well-informed decisions. FortiAI on FortiManager creates a more secure and resilient network, providing an avenue to complete automation.

FortiAI analyzes security events to provide insights and recommend actions, including advice on threat hunting and response. It provides details on malware, attacker profiles, and approaches to an attack. Additionally, it supports natural language queries for complex database searches and report generation to make interaction easier. The user-friendly menu in FortiAnalyzer simplifies access to these features, streamlining the management of security operations.

  • Machine learning and AI: Fortinet has been using machine learning since version 6.x in multiple products. AI emerged inside FortiGuard and has expanded to multiple services and products. GenAI and the ability to utilize natural language to interact with FortiAI have brought their products to the next level to support security teams.
  • Architecture: Since FortiOS is the same across all Fortinet offerings, FortiAI integrates with FortiOS which allows for easier integration with multiple products.
  • Performance metrics: FortiAI can reduce troubleshooting and installation time by up to 25%, and network performance and availability can enhance end-user productivity by up to 25%.
  • Enhanced security: Performing tasks such as threat investigation, response and playbook creation in a SecOps environment.
  • Operation efficiencies: Provides answers and detailed guidance for incident management, including insights on threat detection and playbook recommendations, so security teams can work on other important security tasks.
  • Scalability: FortiAI is integrated with FortiOS which will allow the product to grow and update with FortiOS.
