FortiGuard AI-Powered Security

Top-rated, Integrated Protection

Our experts develop and utilize leading-edge machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI) technologies to provide timely and consistently top-rated protection and actionable threat intelligence. This enables IT and security teams to better secure their organizations.

FortiGuard Labs is the driving force behind FortiGuard AI-powered Security Services. The services counter threats in real time with ML-powered, coordinated protection. They are natively integrated into the Fortinet Security Fabric, enabling fast detection and enforcement across the entire attack surface. 

URL and Video Filtering
The FortiGuard cloud-delivered, AI-driven web filtering service provides comprehensive threat protection to address a wide variety of threats, including ransomware, credential theft, phishing, and other web-borne attacks. It leverages AI-driven behavioral analysis and threat correlation to immediately block unknown malicious URLs with near-zero false negatives. Also, it provides granular blocking and filtering for web and video categories to allow, log, and block for rapid and comprehensive protection and regulatory compliance.

DNS
Consistent protection against sophisticated DNS-based threats includes DNS tunneling, DNS protocol abuse, DNS infiltration, C2 server identification, and domain generation algorithms. DNS filtering provides complete visibility into DNS traffic while blocking high-risk domains, including malicious newly registered domains, parked domains, and more.

Antibot and C2
Block unauthorized attempts to communicate with compromised remote servers for both receiving malicious command and control information or sending out extracted information.

MITRE ATT&CK–Based Reporting and Investigation Tools
Top-rated, behavior-based, and AI-powered static and dynamic malware analysis addresses today’s rapidly evolving and targeted threats, including ransomware, crypto-malware, and others, across a broad digital attack surface. It also delivers real-time actionable intelligence and prevention by automating advanced zero-day malware detection and response.

Antivirus
FortiGuard Antivirus delivers automated updates that protect against the latest polymorphing attack components, including ransomware, viruses, spyware, and other content-level threats. It uses industry-leading advanced detection engines to prevent new and evolving threats from gaining a foothold inside your network, endpoint, and clouds and accessing valuable resources.

AI-Based Inline Malware Prevention
Inline blocking of previously unknown threats with AI-based Inline Malware Prevention Service allows you to hold a potentially malicious file until a final verdict is received. Leveraging advanced AI and ML at cloud speed, FortiOS now offers real-time prevention with queueing optimization and hardware acceleration. Inline blocking for FortiGate is available with both FortiSandbox and FortiGuard AI-Based Inline Malware Prevention Service.

Data Loss Prevention
The FortiGuard Data Loss Prevention Service delivers a database with consistent DLP patterns to different solutions within the Fortinet security stack. It furnishes businesses with everything they need to keep their data and users secure and prevent costly data loss incidents.

Inline and API CASB
The FortiGuard CASB Security Service secures SaaS applications in use by your organization, providing broad visibility and granular control over SaaS access, usage, and data. This service for FortiGate Next-Generation Firewalls (NGFWs) and SASE integrates with the FortiClient Fabric Agent to enable inline ZTNA traffic inspection and ZTNA posture check.

Innovative Capabilities
FortiOS also includes a range of additional capabilities, like mobile malware, credential protection, content disarm and reconstruction, and virus outbreak prevention.

Antispam
Working in conjunction with our FortiMail solution to dramatically reduce spam volume at the perimeter, antispam gives you unmatched control of email attacks and infections to provide greater protection than standard blacklists.

Intrusion Prevention System
IPS blocks the latest stealthy network-level threats and network intrusions. It uses a comprehensive IPS library with thousands of signatures, backed up by FortiGuard research, which is credited with an industry-leading 1,000+ zero-day threat discoveries. Natively embedded in our context-aware policies, it enables full control of attack detection methods to address complex security applications and resist evasion techniques. Dedicated IPS includes end-to-end updates for IPS administration, including support for finance and other regulated deployments. It enables migration from separate hardware to NGFWs while preserving operations and compliance practices.

OT Security
Identify and police over 70 ICS/SCADA protocols and industrial equipment for granular visibility and control with our OT Security Service featuring over 3,000 OT-specific vulnerability and application signatures. Additional capabilities like device and OS detection and IoT hardware MAC address vendor mapping updates provide additional protection. Device detection and protection services OT devices have been expanded to include vulnerability correlation and virtual patching.

Attack Surface Security Service
Assessment and rating of security infrastructure in terms of security and compliance, plus IoT Detection and Vulnerability Correlation. Reduce your attack surface with automated discovery, real-time query, segmentation, and enforcement for IoT devices.

Indicators of Compromise and Outbreak Detection
Our automated breach defense system continuously monitors your network for attacks, vulnerabilities, and persistent threats. It also protects against legitimate threats, guards your data, and defends against fraudulent access, malware, and breaches. Our cybersecurity experts develop detailed outbreak alerts and provide outbreak detection updates to our SOC platform. These save you research time by identifying attacks and ensuring ongoing readiness for threat hunting, including valuable tips and tricks.

Accelerated, Coordinated Protection

FortiGuard AI-powered Security Services enable faster, coordinated prevention, detection, and response in real time across organizations’ broader security infrastructure.

Real-Time Threat Intelligence

FortiGuard services are constantly updated with the latest threat intelligence based on: research by FortiGuard Labs experts, global visibility into the threat landscape, telemetry from across Fortinet’s broad sensor base, and zero-day discoveries. This delivers heightened efficacy against even the most complex cyberthreats.

Proven ML and AI

FortiGuard services apply a unique combination of local learning and static analysis to identify anomalies. This is locally augmented by rapid intelligence based on AI and ML-models on large-scale cloud-driven data lakes.
