The deal also now integrates with FortiAI, the company’s genAI associate, to better assist analytics and monitoring to support safety teams speed threat investigation and response, the vendor stated.
” FortiA I identifies the challenges that need study from the data collected by FortiAnalyzer, mainly collected from FortiGates. By automating the collection, research, and response processes, FortiAI helps organizations detect threats faster, minimizing call fatigue and reducing response times”, wrote Kimberly Becan, senior director of security operations solutions at Fortinet, in a about the AI capabilities of FortiAI and ForitAnalyzer.
” The effect is important: Instead of spending hours filtering through alerts, security analysts does ask AI-driven queries like ,’ What are the most important threats from the past 24 hours? ‘ , or ‘ Which malware bypassed security controls today? ‘ , and receive instant, prioritized insights”, Becan wrote.
FortiAI embedded within FortiAnalyzer enables security professionals to surface relevant threats and assess their context quickly thanks to an intuitive, AI-powered conversational interface. By streamlining alert triage, organizations improve efficiency, optimize IT resources, and minimize security gaps, Becan wrote.
Prebuilt SOC automation content packs are included in other new features to provide security teams with the most recent event handlers, playbooks, and third-party log parsers, such as Armis Platform and Microsoft Office 365.  , The idea is to let security teams contain and remediate threats with minimal manual intervention, Shah stated.
Current FortiAnalyzer customers who have subscribed to FortiGuard have access to the new features and capabilities right away. According to Fortinet, content packs are regularly updated so that organizations can keep up with new threats and expand SOC coverage as needs change.
