FortiAI: AI Security and AI-Powered Defense, Unified | Accelerate26
At Tech Expo during #Accelerate26, Fortinet Director of Product Management Keith Choi tackles one of cybersecurity's defining questions: Is AI being used for security, or does security need to account for AI itself? In this video, Choi walks through how both sides of that equation are reshaping threat defense. Watch the video for insight on Fortinet's approach to AI-powered security and ideas on how your organization can benefit.
What is FortiAI and how does it support AI-powered defense?
FortiAI is Fortinet’s platform for AI-powered security. It’s designed to help organizations use artificial intelligence to detect, analyze, and respond to threats more effectively across their environments.
Instead of treating AI as a separate add-on, FortiAI is built to reimagine how security operations work by:
- Using AI models to identify threats faster and with more context
- Helping security teams automate parts of detection and response
- Integrating with broader Fortinet solutions so AI insights can be applied across the network, cloud, and applications
In short, FortiAI helps organizations move from traditional, manual-heavy security workflows to a more intelligent, AI-assisted defense model.
How does Fortinet address ‘AI for security’ vs. ‘security for AI’?
Fortinet looks at AI and security from two angles, and FortiAI plays a role in both:
- AI for security
Using AI to improve cybersecurity itself. FortiAI applies AI models to:
- Detect threats more quickly
- Correlate signals across different systems
- Support faster, more informed incident response
- Security for AI
Protecting the AI systems and data that organizations are now deploying. This includes:
- Securing emerging AI factory architectures (the infrastructure that trains and runs AI models)
- Protecting large language models (LLMs) from misuse or attack
- Safeguarding sovereign AI environments, where data residency and control are critical
By addressing both sides, Fortinet aims to help organizations close the gap between rapid AI innovation and secure deployment, so they can adopt AI with more confidence.
How does FortiAI help secure LLMs and sovereign AI environments?
As organizations adopt LLMs and build sovereign AI environments, the security requirements change. FortiAI is designed to help protect these AI-specific use cases by:
- Protecting LLMs
FortiAI supports securing the infrastructure and workflows around large language models, helping reduce risks such as unauthorized access, data exposure, and abuse of model capabilities.
- Securing AI factory architectures
Many teams are building “AI factories” to train, fine-tune, and deploy models at scale. FortiAI helps safeguard these architectures so that data, models, and pipelines are better protected end to end.
- Supporting sovereign AI requirements
For organizations that must keep data and AI processing within specific regions or jurisdictions, FortiAI is part of a broader Fortinet approach to help maintain control, visibility, and protection in these sovereign AI environments.
Together, these capabilities are intended to help organizations adopt advanced AI—like LLMs—while keeping security, compliance, and governance in focus.
