Fortinet expands AI capabilities with new FortiAI integrations

Fortinet has expanded its generative AI capabilities across its product portfolio with the introduction of two new integrations with FortiAI.

FortiAI now includes integrations with FortiNDR Cloud and Lacework FortiCNAPP, further enhancing Fortinet's product offerings. These integrations aim to accelerate threat coverage analysis and streamline investigation processes.

John Maddison, Chief Marketing Officer at Fortinet, remarked, "Our commitment to AI innovation is reflected in our expansion of generative AI, which now enhances seven different products across our portfolio. By integrating FortiAI in such a broad range of solutions, we're equipping our customers with powerful, adaptive tools that transform how they manage and respond to cyberthreats. As cyber risks continue to grow, we'll continue to empower our customers with solutions that streamline security processes, improve decision-making, and bolster resilience against evolving threats."

The new FortiAI integration with FortiNDR Cloud is designed to assist threat hunters in viewing detections and observations related to their queries. Security analysts will benefit from enhanced query capabilities, offering a clearer understanding of FortiNDR Cloud's coverage against emerging threats and vulnerabilities. This is expected to enhance the performance of threat hunters, providing better insights into their capabilities against potential attackers.

In addition, the integration with Lacework FortiCNAPP aims to aid security operations centre (SOC) teams in quickly understanding and responding to alerts. By employing natural language queries, teams can decode the rationale behind generated alerts, evaluate risks, receive step-by-step remediation guidance, and correct issues with syntactically accurate code.

These developments are a continuation of Fortinet's AI innovation trajectory, expanding the applications of FortiAI across various products. Previous integrations of FortiAI include FortiAnalyzer, offering real-time threat analysis and automated response, and FortiManager, which facilitates network configuration and troubleshooting.

FortiAI is also integrated with FortiSIEM to provide contextual intelligence for alert investigations, FortiSOAR for guiding threat investigation and remediation, and FortiDLP to summarise high-risk activity data.
