The Fortinet Security Fabric: Our AI-Driven Platform Approach
Within our unified platform, three solutions redefine cybersecurity, helping you to respond to an ever-evolving cybersecurity landscape to meet constantly accelerating business needs. The solution to simplifying complex networks, distributed users, and hybrid applications is the convergence and consolidation of security, all with flexible consumption models to make buying easy.
The Fortinet Security Fabric enables automated protection, detection, and response along with consolidated visibility across both Fortinet solutions and a broad ecosystem of over 500 third-party solutions. Fortinet holds 957 U.S. patents—nearly three times more than comparable network security vendors—a testament to our dedication to organic innovation that delivers industry-leading cybersecurity and networking solutions. The vast majority of Fortinet’s R&D is based in North America and the company has support and centers of excellence across the globe.
Cybersecurity Innovation and Excellence
FortiOS, Fortinet’s flagship operating system, is organically built on a common management and security framework and uniquely enables the convergence of networking and security. FortiOS also serves as the foundation of the Fortinet Security Fabric, the industry’s highest performing and most expansive cybersecurity platform.
Fortinet is the only security vendor to develop and build custom security processing units (SPUs). These purpose-built ASICs offer the best price/performance and value in the industry with Security Compute Ratings that are far higher than other vendors.
Every day, FortiGuard Labs uses one of the most effective and proven AI and ML systems in the industry to process and analyze more than 100 billion events, sending actionable real-time threat intelligence to immediately increase defenses against even zero day threats.
The unique combination of FortiOS, purpose-built SPU technology, and AI-powered threat intelligence delivers superior protection driven by our commitment to cybersecurity innovation and excellence.
More Than Just Technology Innovation
As a cybersecurity leader, we believe that it is our duty to help make the world a safer and more sustainable place. That is why, beyond our commitment to cybersecurity and networking technology innovation, we strive to:
- Reduce the environmental footprint of our technology with a commitment to ensure each generation of our products consumes less energy, while promoting responsible business across our value chain
- Eliminate the global cybersecurity skills shortage by maintaining one of the largest and broadest training programs in the industry with a focus on diversifying talent
- Foster cooperation against cybercrime through partnerships that help shape the future of cyber-threat mitigation and by sharing actionable threat intelligence between public and private organizations.
Industry Leadership and Stable Growth
Fortinet is led by a strong management team with deep experience in networking and security and is helmed by Ken Xie and Michael Xie, co-founders of Fortinet. The executive leadership team also benefits from the strategic guidance, oversight, and governance from its board of directors and Fortinet Strategic Advisory Council, which advises on some of the world’s most critical cybersecurity challenges across the breadth of the public sector—both within the U.S. and internationally.
With decades of stability, Fortinet is the only cybersecurity company listed in both the Nasdaq 100 and S&P 500. Fortinet is also included in the Fortune 500 list, has made numerous appearances on Fortune Magazine’s listing of 100 Fastest Growing Companies, and has been nominated to Fortune Magazine's Most Admired Companies List.
