FortiAI: AI for Security, or Security for AI | Accelerate26
The impact of AI in cybersecurity is in constant flux. In this video, Fortinet's Jack Chan explains how Fortinet integrates #FortiAI intelligence across cybersecurity solutions, including FortiMDR and FortiSOC, and its relevance in the agentic AI era. Watch the video for expert insights on the future of AI-powered security and what it means for your organization.
What is FortiAI and how does it support cybersecurity teams?
FortiAI is Fortinet’s approach to applying artificial intelligence to cybersecurity. It is designed to analyze, reason, and act on security data so that security teams can respond faster and more accurately to threats.
Instead of relying only on manual investigation, FortiAI helps teams by:
- Using AI to sift through large volumes of security alerts and logs
- Identifying patterns that may indicate attacks or suspicious behavior
- Supporting faster decision-making for incident response
FortiAI is being integrated into key Fortinet solutions such as FortiMDR (Managed Detection and Response) and FortiSOC (Security Operations Center tools), so organizations can embed AI directly into their existing security workflows.
How is FortiAI integrated with FortiMDR and FortiSOC?
FortiAI is not a standalone concept; it is being woven into Fortinet’s broader security portfolio, including FortiMDR and FortiSOC.
In practice, this means:
- FortiMDR: FortiAI helps managed detection and response services by using AI to analyze threats more quickly and consistently, supporting 24/7 monitoring and response.
- FortiSOC: Within security operations centers, FortiAI assists analysts by prioritizing alerts, correlating events, and suggesting actions, which can reduce manual workload and speed up investigations.
By embedding AI into these solutions, Fortinet aims to rethink how security teams operate, shifting from purely manual analysis to AI-assisted detection and response.
What does the “agentic era” mean for security teams?
The “agentic era” refers to a stage where AI systems do more than just provide insights—they can reason and take actions on behalf of security teams within defined boundaries.
For security teams, this means AI can:
- Automatically investigate certain alerts and gather context
- Recommend or initiate predefined responses to common threats
- Continuously learn from new data to improve future decisions
This shift helps organizations reimagine their security operations, moving from reactive, manual processes to more proactive, AI-assisted workflows. FortiAI is Fortinet’s way of enabling this transition, focusing both on AI for security (using AI to defend systems) and security for AI (ensuring AI itself is used securely).
