Detect and Disrupt, Then Investigate and Remediate

The Fortinet Security Operations (SecOps) platform seamlessly integrates behavior-based sensors to detect and disrupt threat actors across the attack surface and along the cyber kill chain. Backed by our operating system, FortiOS, Fortinet delivers centralized investigation and remediation that can be orchestrated, automated, and/or augmented to reduce cyber risk, cost, and operational effort.

Early Detection and Prevention

The Fortinet SecOps platform offers the broadest range of sensors that utilize AI and other advanced analytics to continuously assess device, user, file, network, email, application, cloud, log, and even dark web activity to identify signs of cyberthreats. Fabric-native interoperability fundamentally changes the security operations paradigm from “detect and respond” to “detect and disrupt,” then “investigate and respond.” It reduces cyber risk, enabling faster containment and providing more time for thorough investigation and comprehensive remediation.

Harden the attack surface and block attacks with NGFWs, SEG, WAF, EPP, and VMS. Detect and disrupt threat actor intrusion with EDR, UEBA, NDR, ICES, TA, SIEM, FAZ, Deception, and Sandbox. Investigate and remediate incidents, returning to safe operation with SOAR, XDR, IR Service, and the Fortinet Partner Ecosystem.

Unified Threat Response

 

Even as these sensors detect and disrupt threat actor activity, alerts and information are funneled for centrally orchestrated or automated investigation and remediation, powered by the FortiAI GenAI assistant. Key functions include correlation, enrichment, analysis, triage, validation, and response. In addition to Fabric-native integration that enables deeper visibility and a wider range of actions, 500+ connectors enable the platform to ingest telemetry from and command multivendor security infrastructure.
