Fortinet pioneers cybersecurity with AI, Zero Trust, and quantum-safe tech

COUNTRY MANAGER, INDIA & SAARC, FORTINET

Fortinet’s integrated platform approach, built on FortiOS—the common operating system across FortiGate, SD-WAN, and SASE—is the key to proactively detecting and preventing threats. Most customers begin with our ASIC-powered FortiGate firewall, expand into SD-WAN, and then adopt FortiSASE. Since all core SASE functions are natively built into a single OS, we deliver better performance and security, reduce total cost of ownership, and simplify operations—making us unique in the industry. Fortinet is also uniquely positioned in the growing OT security market, recognized as a leader in the Westlands Advisory Report, which reflects over a decade of focused investment and product development.

We’ve been investing in AI for over 15 years and hold more than 500 issued and pending AI patents—more than any other cybersecurity company. Our AI tools—FortiAI-Assist, FortiAI-Protect, and FortiAI-SecureAI—are embedded across over a dozen products, enabling automated threat detection, AI infrastructure protection, and accelerated response. We also champion secure-by-design practices, embedding security from the ground up. As a first signatory of CISA’s Secure by Design Pledge, we support raising cybersecurity standards by embedding secure practices into every stage of product development. As quantum computing emerges, Fortinet remains committed to helping customers stay protected. With FortiOS 7.6, solutions like FortiGate NGFW and Fortinet Secure SD-WAN now include built-in quantum-safe features, protecting against harvest-now, decrypt-later attacks and enabling a smooth, secure transition to post-quantum security.
