New innovations unify cloud SOC, agentic AI, managed detection and response, and endpoint protection within a single Security Fabric architecture
Fortinet® (NASDAQ: FTNT), the global cybersecurity leader driving the convergence of networking and security, today announced major innovations across the Fortinet Security Operations (SecOps) Platform at Fortinet Accelerate 2026. Updates feature next-generation SecOps advancements, including expanded agentic AI capabilities, a preview of FortiSOC, managed services, and endpoint security enhancements delivered through FortiEndpoint.
“As attackers weaponize AI to accelerate reconnaissance, exploit development, and social engineering, security operations must function with the same speed and coordination,” said Ken Xie, Founder, Chairman of the Board, and Chief Executive Officer at Fortinet. “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.”
Advancing Security Operations for an AI-Accelerated Threat Landscape
Security teams must defend an expanding attack surface across endpoints, identity, cloud, email, and networks while facing skills shortages, alert overload, and fragmented tooling. The Fortinet Security Operations Platform unifies telemetry, analytics, threat intelligence, and response across the kill chain, reducing complexity and accelerating investigations without forcing operational rebuilds.
This release strengthens four core areas for organizations: SOC modernization, agentic AI execution, FortiGuard managed services, and simplified endpoint security.
FortiSOC and FortiAI: Unifying Cloud SOC and Advancing Agentic Operations
As security operations mature, tool sprawl and workflow fragmentation slow teams down. At Accelerate 2026, Fortinet is previewing FortiSOC, a cloud-delivered offering that brings together the core capabilities of FortiAnalyzer, FortiSIEM, FortiSOAR, and FortiTIP into a single integrated service, while expanding FortiAI to introduce new agentic workflows across security operations.
FortiSOC supports log ingestion, normalization, correlation, automation, case management, behavioral analytics, and identity-focused investigations through a single console and a unified data model, integrating telemetry from Fortinet and third-party environments.
Built-in SOC best practices, shaped by Fortinet’s own global SOC operations, are embedded alongside AI/ML and FortiAI capabilities to accelerate analysis and response. Simplified subscription licensing and elastic cloud scale help streamline deployment.
