Cyberattacks and threats including ransomware, trojans, cryptomining and malware  are becoming increasingly sophisticated as cybercriminals gain deeper knowledge and understanding of your customers’ environments. They are also using AI and machine learning to circumvent protective security measures including:

  • Generating deep fake videos and images to phish users and bypass security measures. This is particularly prevalent on social media sites to create fake identities
  • Solving CAPTCHAs to bypass authentication protections
  • Gathering open-source intelligence on organizations to target attackers

Your customers need AI-powered security solutions that provide advanced threat detection and response capabilities, centralized security monitoring and automation across their entire networks.

  • AI-powered cybersecurity can identify patterns within massive amounts of data, detect trends in malware features, and make threat classifications more rapidly than humans can.
  • An AI-based virtual security operations (SecOps) analyst can rapidly detect and respond to security incidents, assisting human analysts and enables them to operate at a higher level. This is a boon to short-staffed security teams.


Fortinet FortiAI, powered by Deep Neural Networks (DNN), is the industry’s most sophisticated AI security solution. FortiAI is specifically designed to alleviate the tedious manual threat investigation of security alerts and threat response by identifying and classifying threats and malware outbreaks in sub-seconds and blocking them in the network.

FortiAI comes pre-trained with more than 6 million malware features that can identify IT—and OT-based threats and classify them into malware categories. These features can also accurately pinpoint patient zero and lateral spread of a malware and its variants by analyzing the entire threat movement.

FortiAI’s broad integration within the Fortinet Security Fabric includes FortiGate, FortiWeb, FortiSOAR, FortiSandbox, FortiSIEM, FortiAnalyzer and third party security solutions that enables sub-second protection, threat investigation and hunting. Deploying FortiAI on-premises can help security operations teams solve the security resource crisis and rapidly accelerate the response to evolving threats.
