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.
