Fortinet launches FortiDLP for enhanced data protection

Fortinet has unveiled FortiDLP, a next-generation data loss prevention (DLP) and insider risk management solution designed to enhance data protection for enterprise organizations. This new offering enables companies to anticipate and prevent both accidental and malicious data loss across various environments including cloud applications and devices.

According to John Maddison, chief marketing officer at Fortinet, “In an era when data protection is paramount, FortiDLP offers a next-gen solution that combines AI-enhanced detection and insider risk management to secure sensitive information. By leveraging an AI-powered data protection solution, security teams can anticipate risks, streamline incident response, and mitigate threats faster than legacy DLP solutions.”

Despite the increasing importance of data protection, many Chief Information Security Officers (CISOs) report significant challenges with traditional DLP tools which often struggle to adapt to a hybrid work environment and manage data effectively. A recent Gartner report indicated that by 2027, 70% of CISOs in larger enterprises will adopt a consolidated approach to tackle insider risk and data exfiltration.

Modern networking doesn’t have to be so complicated. Here’s how unified secure access service edge can help streamline management across your entire network.
FortiDLP distinguishes itself by providing an AI-enhanced, cloud-native solution that addresses a comprehensive set of data protection needs. Its recent integration with Next DLP technology adds depth to Fortinet’s Security Fabric. Key features of FortiDLP include:

• Shadow AI Data Protection: Enables safe employee usage of publicly available generative AI tools while ensuring sensitive data is protected.
• Day One Data Visibility and Protection: Offers automated data visibility and protection via embedded machine learning from the start.
• Insider Risk Protection: Monitors employee behavior to prevent unauthorized disclosure of sensitive information.
• SaaS Application Data Protection: Maintains oversight of user interactions with cloud data and safeguards data as it moves.
• Origin-Based Data Protection: Provides visibility into data exposure risks and tracks data egress from various devices.
• Risk-Informed User Education: Facilitates user education on data protection through customizable policy alerts.
• AI-Powered Guidance: Enhances incident analysis and provides contextual information related to risky behaviors.

Fortinet plans to market FortiDLP both as a standalone solution and as part of its broader security service offerings, further advancing its commitment to enterprise-grade data protection.

In summary, Fortinet’s FortiDLP promises to streamline data protection efforts while addressing the shortcomings of traditional DLP solutions, empowering security teams to effectively mitigate both insider and external threats from day one.
