FortiOS Everywhere
FortiOS, Fortinet’s Advanced Operating System
FortiOS enables the convergence of high performing networking and security across the
Fortinet Security Fabric. Because it can be deployed anywhere, it delivers consistent and
Available in context-aware security posture across network, endpoint, and multi-cloud environments.

FortiOS powers all FortiGate deployments whether a physical or virtual device, as a container,
or as a cloud service. This universal deployment model enables the consolidation of many
technologies and use cases into a simplified, single policy and management framework. Its
organically built best-of-breed capabilities, unified operating system, and ultra-scalability
Appliance
allows organizations to protect all edges, simplify operations, and run their business without
compromising performance or protection.

FortiOS dramatically expands the Fortinet Security Fabric’s ability to deliver advanced AI/
ML-powered services, inline advanced sandbox detection, integrated ZTNA enforcement,
and more, provides protection across hybrid deployment models for hardware, software, and
Virtual Software-as-a-Service with SASE.

FortiOS expands visibility and control, ensures the consistent deployment and enforcement of
security policies, and enables centralized management across large-scale networks with the
following key attributes:

• Interactive drill-down and topology viewers that display real-time status

Hosted
• On-click remediation that provides accurate and quick protection against threats and abuses
• Unique threat score system correlates weighted threats with users to prioritize investigations

FortiGuard Services
Network and File Security
Services provide protection against network-based and file-based threats. This consists of
Intrusion Prevention (IPS) which uses AI/M models to perform deep packet/SSL inspection
to detect and stop malicious content, and apply virtual patching when a new vulnerability is
discovered. It also includes Anti-Malware for defense against known and unknown file-based
threats. Anti-malware services span both antivirus and file sandboxing to provide multi-
layered protection and are enhanced in real-time with threat intelligence from FortiGuard Labs.
Application Control enhances security compliance and offers real-time application visibility.

Web / DNS Security

Services provide protection against web-based threats including DNS-based threats, malicious
URLs (including even in emails), and botnet/command and control communications. DNS
filtering provides full visibility into DNS traffic while blocking high-risk domains, and protects
against DNS tunneling, DNS infiltration, C2 server ID and Domain Generation Algorithms (DGA).
URL filtering leverages a database of 300M+ URLs to identify and block links to malicious sites
and payloads. IP Reputation and anti-botnet services prevent botnet communications, and
block DDoS attacks from known sources.

SaaS and Data Security

Services address numerous security use cases across application usage as well as overall
data security. This consists of Data Leak Prevention (DLP) which ensures data visibility,
management and protection (including blocking exfiltration) across networks, clouds, and
users, while simplifying compliance and privacy implementations. Separately, our Inline Cloud
Access Security Broker (CASB) service protects data in motion, at rest, and in the cloud.
The service enforces major compliance standards and manages account, user and cloud
application usage. Services also include capabilities designed to continually assess your
infrastructure, validate that configurations are working effectively and secure, and generate
awareness of risks and vulnerabilities that could impact business operations. This includes
coverage across IoT devices for both IoT detection and IoT vulnerability correlation.

Zero-Day Threat Prevention

Zero-day threat prevention entails Fortinet’s AI-based inline malware prevention, our most
advanced sandbox service, to analyze and block unknown files in real-time, offering sub-
second protection against zero-day and sophisticated threats across all NGFWs. The service
also has a built-in MITRE ATT&CK® matrix to accelerate investigations. The service focuses
on comprehensive defense by blocking unknown threats while streamlining incident response
efforts and reducing security overhead.

OT Security
The service provides OT detection, OT vulnerability correlation, virtual patching, OT signatures,
and industry-specific protocol decoders for overall robust defense of OT environments and
devices.

Secure Any Edge at Any Scale

Powered by Security Processing Unit (SPU)
Traditional firewalls cannot protect against today’s content- and connection-based threats
because they rely on off-the-shelf hardware and general-purpose CPUs, causing a dangerous
performance gap. Fortinet’s custom SPU processors deliver the power you need—up to
520Gbps—to detect emerging threats and block malicious content while ensuring your network
security solution does not become a performance bottleneck.
