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 fit into our security strategy?
FortiAI is Fortinet’s approach to using artificial intelligence both for security and to provide security for AI itself. It’s being built into existing Fortinet offerings so that AI is not a standalone tool, but part of the broader security fabric.
In practice, FortiAI is integrated into solutions such as FortiMDR (managed detection and response) and FortiSOC (security operations center tooling). This means AI can help your teams detect, analyze, and respond to threats more efficiently, while also helping protect AI-driven applications and workflows you may be rolling out across the business.
For security leaders, FortiAI is designed to help you rethink how you operate your SOC: less manual triage and more AI-assisted investigation and response, all within the Fortinet ecosystem you may already be using.
How does FortiAI support security teams in the new “agentic” AI era?
Fortinet describes the industry as entering an agentic era of AI, where AI systems don’t just analyze data but can also reason and act on behalf of security teams.
With FortiAI integrated into tools like FortiMDR and FortiSOC, AI can assist with tasks such as:
- Prioritizing alerts and highlighting what needs attention first
- Supporting investigations by correlating signals across multiple sources
- Reimagining response workflows by suggesting or triggering predefined actions
The goal is not to replace analysts, but to reshape how they work—offloading repetitive tasks to AI so teams can focus on higher-value analysis and decision-making.
