Key FortiOS 7.6 Enhancements

Generative AI
FortiAI is available in a variety of products to assist NOC and SOC teams, facilitating quicker decision-making and more efficient operations.

Managed Services
We offer several management services to ease the burden on NOC and SOC teams, reducing resource needs to address the cybersecurity skills gap.

Unified Agent Integrations
FortiClient will include full EDR functionality to deliver ZTNA, EPP, and continuous vulnerability scanning in a single agent.

Data Protection
Enhanced data protection ensures sensitive information remains secure no matter where it resides in the hybrid network.

“There is nothing worse than having a one-off solution that you have to shoehorn into your system to make it work. Fortinet products integrate seamlessly with other Fortinet devices and with security tools from other vendors. This is a clear differentiator for Fortinet—it has only been concerned about one thing: creating a solution that meets our needs and is easy to use.”
