Fortinet SecOps changes that. Built on the Fortinet Security Fabric, Fortinet’s SecOps solution delivers a unified, AI-powered platform that helps security teams detect, investigate, and respond to threats faster and more efficiently—without adding headcount or complexity.
Here’s how it works.
1. Unified visibility and control across the attack surface
One of the biggest challenges in modern SecOps is fragmented visibility. Fortinet eliminates that problem by integrating telemetry across the entire infrastructure—network, endpoints, cloud, email, and more—into a single data lake. This is possible through native integration across Fortinet products and open APIs that seamlessly pull in third-party data sources.
But Fortinet goes beyond visibility. With Fortinet SecOps and FortiRecon continuous threat exposure management (CTEM) capabilities, organizations can actively manage their attack surfaces, identifying, prioritizing, and reducing exposure to risks before they’re exploited. This includes continuous asset discovery, attack surface mapping, threat correlation, and proactive controls that close gaps before they become incidents.
The result is a comprehensive view of assets, users, behaviors, and risks combined with actionable insights and enforcement mechanisms. Teams can triage and hunt with confidence, using consistent context from a single source of truth while also shrinking their attack surface in real time.
2. AI-powered threat detection and intelligence
Fortinet SecOps is fueled by FortiGuard Labs AI and global threat intelligence. With behavior-based analytics, machine learning (ML), and curated threat feeds, the platform automatically detects known and unknown threats, including malware, ransomware, botnets, and lateral movement.
Advanced detection is delivered through:
- FortiSIEM for real-time event correlation and anomaly detection
- FortiAnalyzer for security analytics, threat hunting, and compliance
- FortiEndpoint and FortiEDR for endpoint behavior analysis and automated mitigation
- FortiNDR for early detection of advanced threats and post-exploit activities
- FortiDeceptor for early threat discovery and deception-based attacker engagement
By combining static, dynamic, and behavioral analysis, Fortinet reduces false positives and accelerates mean time to detection.
3. Automated, playbook-driven response
Responding to incidents quickly—and consistently—is critical. Fortinet SecOps integrates SOAR capabilities across the broader SOC platform with FortiSOAR and within FortiSIEM and embedded within key products such as FortiEDR and FortiNDR. This layered approach allows organizations to automate key response workflows at multiple levels of the stack.
Security teams can automate routine tasks like enrichment, alert correlation, notification, and device quarantine. Guided playbooks, delivered both as centralized runbooks and embedded “Playbook-as-a-Service” (coming soon), ensure that response is timely, coordinated, and aligned to business risk. Integration with ticketing and ITSM platforms enables closed-loop remediation and accountability, while contextual routing assigns incidents based on severity, confidence, and analyst role.
This distributed orchestration model reduces mean time to respond, eliminates manual overhead, and allows organizations to scale their response capabilities without adding headcount.
4. Analyst-centric experience and custom dashboards
Fortinet doesn’t just build for security infrastructure. It builds for security analysts. With customizable dashboards, intuitive UIs, and dynamic search and drill-down capabilities, Fortinet SecOps makes it easier for tier 1, 2, and 3 analysts to investigate and pivot quickly. Analysts can correlate events with timeline views, visualize attack paths, and track key performance indicators and compliance metrics within a single, analyst-friendly interface.
By making workflows more efficient and context-rich, Fortinet dramatically shortens learning curves while improving analyst retention.
5. Security Fabric integration for seamless action
Fortinet SecOps is not a bolt-on. It’s built into the Fortinet Security Fabric, which means detection and response can trigger real-time enforcement across firewalls, endpoint agents, identity controls, and more.
For example, anomalous behavior detected in FortiEDR can trigger automatic isolation via the FortiGate firewall. Deception triggers from FortiDeceptor can feed high-fidelity indicators of compromise into FortiSIEM for further correlation. FortiSOAR playbooks can reconfigure access policies through FortiNAC or notify external systems for coordinated action. And with FortiNDR, the platform adds high-speed network detection and response that can observe lateral movement in real time and escalate threats into the SOC workflow.
This level of integration across detection, analysis, and enforcement eliminates the gaps and delays common in siloed environments, turning detection into defense and streamlining every step of the response life cycle.
Real-World Outcomes
Organizations using Fortinet SecOps report up to an 80% reduction in false positives, allowing analysts to focus on real threats instead of noise. Response times improve by 30% or more thanks to prebuilt automation, contextual handoffs, and integrated controls.
According to research from Enterprise Strategy Group (ESG), Fortinet customers have also achieved a reduction in mean time to detect from several weeks to less than an hour,1 a transformational shift that enables faster containment and reduced risk exposure.
Teams benefit from automated compliance reporting aligned to frameworks like NIST, ISO 27001, PCI DSS, and HIPAA, reducing audit overhead. Many organizations also lower costs and complexity by consolidating multiple security tools into a unified SecOps stack.
Beyond the numbers, Fortinet SecOps helps teams move from reactive firefighting to proactive threat hunting, risk reduction, and SOC maturity, empowering them to keep pace with attackers without burning out their analysts.
Fortinet AI-Driven SecOps Powers Resilient Cybersecurity Operations
Cybersecurity teams need more than dashboards and alerts. They need speed. Intelligence. Automation. And a platform that scales with them. Fortinet SecOps delivers all of that in one integrated, AI-driven solution, helping organizations shift from reactive defense to proactive resilience.
