The latest version of FortiOS, the only operating system that seamlessly converges networking and security, and Security Fabric updates deliver new generative AI, data protection, managed services, and unified agent features.
Fortinet has introduced the latest version of its FortiOS operating system and other major enhancements to the company’s cybersecurity platform, the Fortinet Security Fabric. FortiOS 7.6 empowers customers to better mitigate risk, reduce complexity, and realize a superior user experience across their entire network with new features.
Ken Xie, Founder, Chairman of the Board, and Chief Executive Officer at Fortinet said, “Today, FortiOS is the world’s most powerful, real-time network security operating system capable of simplifying management across content, applications, users, devices, data, and locations, and our proprietary FortiASICs deliver unprecedented performance, lower costs, and reduced energy consumption. Our dedication to over 20 years of organic innovation uniquely enables 30+ networking and security functions to work together, and we take great pride in enhancing the operating system that has already set the industry standard with the release of FortiOS 7.6.”
Building on existing Generative AI (GenAI) capabilities for accelerated threat investigation and remediation, FortiOS 7.6 integrates FortiAI (formerly Fortinet Advisor) natively within Fortinet’s central data lake, FortiAnalyzer, and its unified management console, FortiManager. These integrations improve threat analysis and response and streamline network and security operations, respectively. Expanding FortiAI across the Fortinet Security Fabric facilitates faster decision-making, helps detect and remediate incidents quickly, and ensures organizations can easily adopt the technologies they require.
FortiOS 7.6 enhanced features ensure sensitive information remains secure no matter where it resides within the hybrid network. Fortinet delivers a unified agent that includes VPN, ZTNA, endpoint protection platform (EPP), EDR, DEM, network access control (NAC), and SASE to reduce agent sprawl and simplify management across complex environments.
The Fortinet Security Fabric Platform Fortinet supports customers with a platform approach to cybersecurity via the Fortinet Security Fabric, which converges networking and security through one operating system (FortiOS), one unified agent (FortiClient), one management console (FortiManager), and one data lake (FortiAnalyzer) to integrate and protect the entire digital attack surface. It’s focused on three major enterprise pillars: secure networking, unified SASE, and AI-driven security operations.
