FortiAI is Fortinet’s platform for AI-powered security. It’s designed to help organizations use artificial intelligence to detect, analyze, and respond to threats more effectively across their environments.

Instead of treating AI as a separate add-on, FortiAI is built to reimagine how security operations work by:

• Using AI models to identify threats faster and with more context
• Helping security teams automate parts of detection and response
• Integrating with broader Fortinet solutions so AI insights can be applied across the network, cloud, and applications

In short, FortiAI helps organizations move from traditional, manual-heavy security workflows to a more intelligent, AI-assisted defense model.

Fortinet looks at AI and security from two angles, and FortiAI plays a role in both:

1. AI for security
   Using AI to improve cybersecurity itself. FortiAI applies AI models to:
   • Detect threats more quickly
   • Correlate signals across different systems
   • Support faster, more informed incident response
2. Security for AI
   Protecting the AI systems and data that organizations are now deploying. This includes:
   • Securing emerging AI factory architectures (the infrastructure that trains and runs AI models)
   • Protecting large language models (LLMs) from misuse or attack
   • Safeguarding sovereign AI environments, where data residency and control are critical

By addressing both sides, Fortinet aims to help organizations close the gap between rapid AI innovation and secure deployment, so they can adopt AI with more confidence.

As organizations adopt LLMs and build sovereign AI environments, the security requirements change. FortiAI is designed to help protect these AI-specific use cases by:

• Protecting LLMs
  FortiAI supports securing the infrastructure and workflows around large language models, helping reduce risks such as unauthorized access, data exposure, and abuse of model capabilities.
• Securing AI factory architectures
  Many teams are building “AI factories” to train, fine-tune, and deploy models at scale. FortiAI helps safeguard these architectures so that data, models, and pipelines are better protected end to end.
• Supporting sovereign AI requirements
  For organizations that must keep data and AI processing within specific regions or jurisdictions, FortiAI is part of a broader Fortinet approach to help maintain control, visibility, and protection in these sovereign AI environments.

Together, these capabilities are intended to help organizations adopt advanced AI—like LLMs—while keeping security, compliance, and governance in focus.
