FortiOS Everywhere

FortiOS, Fortinet’s Real-Time Network Security Operating System

FortiOS is the operating system that powers Fortinet Security Fabric platform, enabling enforcement of security policies and holistic visibility across the entire attack surface. FortiOS provides a unified framework for managing and securing networks, cloud-based, hybrid, or a convergence of IT, OT, and IoT. FortiOS enables seamless and efficient interoperation across Fortinet products with consistent and consolidated AI-powered protection across today’s hybrid environments.

Unlike traditional point solutions, Fortinet adopts a holistic approach to cybersecurity, aiming to reduce complexities, eliminate security silos, and improve operational efficiencies. By consolidating security functions into a single platform, FortiOS simplifies management, reduces costs, and enhances overall security posture. Together, FortiGate and FortiOS create intelligent, adaptive protection to help organizations reduce complexity, eliminate security silos, and optimize user experience.

By integrating generative AI (GenAI), FortiOS further enhances the ability to analyze network traffic and threat intelligence, detects deviations or anomalies more effectively, and provides more precise remediation recommendations, ensuring minimum performance impact without compromising security.

FortiGuard AI-Powered Security Services

FortiGuard AI-Powered Security Services is part of Fortinet’s layered defense and tightly integrated into our FortiGate NGFWs and other products. Infused with the latest threat intelligence from FortiGuard Labs, these services protect organizations against modern attack vectors and threats, including zero-day and sophisticated AI-powered attacks.

Network and file security

Network and file security services protect against network and file-based threats. With over 18,000 signatures, our industry-leading intrusion prevention system (IPS) uses AI/ML models for deep packet/SSL inspection, detecting and blocking malicious content, and applying virtual patches for newly discovered vulnerabilities. Anti-malware protection defends against both known and unknown file-based threats, combining antivirus and sandboxing for multi-layered security. Application control improves security compliance and provides real-time visibility into applications and usage.

Web/DNS security

Web/DNS security services protect against DNS-based attacks, malicious URLs (including those in emails), and botnet communications. DNS filtering blocks the full spectrum of DNSbased attacks while URL filtering uses a database of over 300 million URLs to identify and block malicious links. Meanwhile, IP reputation and anti-botnet services guard against botnet activity and DDoS attacks. FortiGuard Labs blocks over 500 million malicious/phishing/ spam URLs weekly, and blocks 32,000 botnet command-and-control attempts every minute, demonstrating the robust protection offered through Fortinet.

SaaS and data security

SaaS and data security services cover key security needs for application use and data protection. This includes data loss prevention to ensure visibility, management, and protection (blocking exfiltration) of data in motion across networks, clouds, and users. Our inline cloud access security broker service protects data in motion, at rest, and in the cloud, enforcing compliance standards and managing account, user, and cloud app usage. Services also assess infrastructure, validate configurations, and highlight risks and vulnerabilities, including IoT device detection and vulnerability correlation.

Zero-Day threat prevention

Zero-day threat prevention is achieved through AI-powered inline malware prevention to analyze file content to identify and block unknown malware in real time, delivering sub-second protection across all NGFWs. The service also integrates the MITRE ATT&CK matrix to speed up investigations. Integrated into FortiGate NGFWs, the service provides comprehensive defense by blocking unknown threats, streamlining incident response, and reducing security overhead.

OT security

With over 1000 virtual patches, 1100+ OT applications, and 3300+ protocol rules, integrated OT security capabilities detect threats targeting OT infrastructure, perform vulnerability correlation, apply virtual patching, and utilize industry-specific protocol decoders for robust defense of OT environments and devices.

Fortinet ASICs: Unrivaled Security, Unprecedented Performance

Powered by the only purpose-built SPU

Traditional firewalls cannot protect against today’s content and connection-based threats because they rely on off-the-shelf general-purpose central processing units (CPUs), leaving a dangerous security gap. Fortinet’s custom SPUs deliver the power you need to radically increase speed, scale, and efficiency while greatly improving user experience and reducing footprint and power requirements. Fortinet’s SPUs deliver up to 520 Gbps of protected throughput to detect emerging threats and block malicious content while ensuring your network security solution does not become a performance bottleneck.

Fortinet ASICs are designed to be energy-efficient, leading to lower power consumption and improved TCO. They deliver industry-leading throughput, handle more traffic and perform security inspections faster, reduce latency for quicker packet processing and minimize network delays.

Fortinet SPUs are designed with integrated security functions like zero trust, SSL, IPS, and VXLAN to name but a few, dramatically improving the performance of these functions that competitors traditionally implement in software.

Network processor NP7
