Fortinet, a global leader in cybersecurity, announced major updates to its Security Operations (SecOps) platform at Fortinet Accelerate 2026. The innovations unify cloud-based SOC capabilities, expand agentic AI execution, enhance managed detection and response services, and simplify endpoint security through FortiEndpoint—all within the single Fortinet Security Fabric architecture to address AI-accelerated threats and operational complexity.
Fortinet is advancing its SecOps platform to provide a scalable, AI-powered architecture that consolidates security operations across diverse environments. This unified approach reduces tool sprawl, accelerates threat response, and supports organizations in building or optimizing their SOC without major operational changes.
Ken Xie, Founder, Chairman of the Board, and Chief Executive Officer at Fortinet, stated: “As attackers weaponize AI to accelerate reconnaissance, exploit development, and social engineering, security operations must function with the same speed and coordination. Fortinet is advancing a unified, AI-powered security operations platform that provides a scalable operating architecture across our defense framework, enabling organizations to build, extend, or optimize their SOC through a single architecture spanning self-managed, cloud, and managed deployments.”
FortiSOC, previewed at the event, delivers a cloud-native SOC experience by combining core capabilities of FortiAnalyzer, FortiSIEM, FortiSOAR, and FortiTIP into one service. It supports log ingestion, normalization, correlation, behavioral analytics, case management, and identity-focused investigations via a unified console and data model.
Built-in best practices from Fortinet’s global SOC operations, along with AI/ML and FortiAI integration, speed up analysis and response. The offering features simplified licensing, elastic cloud scaling, and planned expansions for endpoint and continuous threat exposure management (CTEM).
FortiAI evolves from interactive assistance to agentic execution, now spanning FortiAnalyzer, FortiSIEM, FortiSOAR, and FortiSOC. A dedicated agent automates key workflows—including alert triage, investigation, and threat hunting—while Model Context Protocol (MCP) ensures continuity and shared context across detection, investigation, and response phases.
FortiGuard SOC-as-a-Service extends the unified architecture with Fortinet-managed expertise for continuous monitoring and escalation. Updates include support for third-party log sources, deeper Security Fabric integrations, FortiNDR telemetry for improved detection accuracy, and FortiCNAPP integration for enhanced cloud visibility, strengthening confidence in hybrid and multivendor environments.
To tackle endpoint complexity and emerging threats, FortiEndpoint unifies multiple security functions—ZTNA, SASE, EPP, EDR, and DLP—under a single agent. This consolidation reduces agent sprawl, simplifies management and licensing, and extends data protection.
New FortiAI-powered features provide visibility and control over AI applications and their communications, helping organizations detect unsanctioned usage and mitigate data exposure risks. Enhanced EDR integration further streamlines operations through a unified console.
These platform advancements position Fortinet to help security teams defend against sophisticated, AI-accelerated threats more effectively while reducing operational burden and enabling scalable, intelligent security operations.
