Fortinet introduces new capabilities in FortiEndpoint to securely manage AI usage on endpoints.
Fortinet is expanding FortiEndpoint with new features to help companies monitor AI usage among their employees. Organizations gain more control over AI applications, native data security, risk scoring, and AI-assisted operations.
The new capabilities were announced during Fortinet Accelerate 2026 and are delivered via a single agent, a single console, and a single license. The new FortiEndpoint capabilities are expected in the third quarter of 2026.
Management and Visibility
FortiEndpoint now offers centralized visibility and control over both sanctioned and unsanctioned AI applications and agents across all endpoints. This allows organizations to identify agents and applications, monitor adoption, and analyze user behavior. This helps in detecting shadow AI and preventing unauthorized use.
Security teams can use granular policies to determine which AI applications are allowed, restricted, monitored, or blocked, aligned with corporate security and compliance.
Data Security
With the new native DLP functionality, FortiEndpoint automatically inspects sensitive data exchanged with AI applications and web services. Users receive real-time coaching and policy advice, enabling them to work safely with AI without losing productivity.
FortiAI-Assist
FortiAI-Assist is built-in to accelerate daily operations. Security teams can use natural language to investigate events, generate summaries, and identify high-risk devices. Contextual insights and policy recommendations help prioritize threats and improve efficiency.
Thanks to adaptive zero-trust capabilities with dynamic risk and compliance scores, organizations can adjust access rights in real time. This ensures that access to AI applications and sensitive data is continuously aligned with the current risk level.
