Fortinet, the world-leading cybersecurity company driving the convergence of networking and security, has announced significant updates to its generative AI (GenAI) portfolio, introducing pioneering advancements in both network and security operations. Among these updates is the introduction of the industry’s first generative AI Internet of Things (IoT) security assistant.

Acknowledging the substantial skills deficit in the cybersecurity sector, estimated at around 4 million workers, Fortinet’s GenAI addresses this challenge by bolstering technical proficiency. FortiAI, Fortinet’s GenAI assistant, empowers security operations (SecOps) and network operations (NetOps) teams, enabling them to expedite network modifications, swiftly detect and remediate attacks, and bridge the industry’s talent gap through its intuitive user interface.

Since its launch in 2023, Fortinet has continued to enhance GenAI features across the Fortinet Security Fabric.

FortiManager now incorporates transformative GenAI capabilities, facilitating Day 0 and Day 1 network configuration and provisioning through GenAI-assisted scripting in CLI and Jinja. This innovative feature generates scripts based on conversational commands, catering to individuals with varying levels of programming expertise. It includes a validation capability that reviews code for errors, enhancing code development efficiency and reliability.

FortiManager introduces the industry’s first GenAI IoT security assistant, featuring a conversational AI interface powered by FortiAI. This assistant aids in detecting and troubleshooting IoT vulnerabilities, allowing network security teams to use natural language to assess vulnerabilities, analyze impacts, and receive actionable recommendations from FortiAI for proactive problem resolution.

Fortinet integrates FortiAI within FortiAnalyzer with new dictation capabilities, simplifying threat hunting and event analysis. Analysts can navigate extensive datasets efficiently, identifying and reacting to potential threats promptly, thereby accelerating review and response cycles.

As AI technologies become increasingly integral to cybersecurity, Fortinet emphasizes securing AI processes and ensuring data privacy. To address these concerns, Fortinet hosts AI proxy servers within its data centers, proxying all AI connections to optimize AI performance and enhance customer data security across all products.
