NSE5_FSM-6.3 benefits - NSE 5 ? FortiSIEM 6.3 Updated: 2024

Cybersecurity firm Fortinet Inc. today announced a new generative artificial intelligence assistant that accelerates threat investigation and remediation.

Called Fortinet Advisor, the new AI service is designed to augment the capabilities of security operations teams. Integrated with Fortinet’s security information and event management service, called FortiSIEM, and security orchestration, automation and response solution, called FortiSOAR, the AI analyzes security incidents and provides easy-to-understand summaries, context and potential impact assessments.

Fortinet Advisor assists in building complex investigation queries and creating efficient remediation plans. In doing so, it significantly reduces the time required for threat detection and response, enhancing the overall efficiency and effectiveness of SecOps teams in managing cybersecurity threats and incidents.

The tool’s integration with FortiSIEM and FortiSOAR is part of Fortinet’s commitment to providing comprehensive cybersecurity solutions. Working within the established framework of these platforms, Fortinet Advisor ensures a seamless workflow for security professionals, allowing them to focus on strategic decision-making rather than getting bogged down by the intricacies of data analysis.

Part of Fortinet’s Security Operations portfolio, the service can help organizations move from a reactive to a proactive security posture and quickly detect and disrupt cyber threats. Fortinet’s Security Operations solutions utilize AI and advanced analytics to identify sophisticated threats early in the kill chain and automate response activity across the Fortinet Security Fabric to speed investigation and remediation.

The new AI is not Fortinet’s first entry into AI, with the company now having a portfolio of more than 40 AI-powered offerings. “We’re excited to build on our legacy as a leader in AI cybersecurity innovation with Fortinet Advisor, which combines Fortinet’s vast intelligence network with the benefits of GenAI to increase security team productivity and speed threat detection and mitigation,” Michael Xie, founder, president and chief technology officer at Fortinet, said ahead of the release.

Fortinet was previously in the news last month when it announced a company restructuring to sharpen its focus on core growth areas after its revenue and outlook fell short in its fiscal third quarter. The plans include leveraging scale, go-to-market capabilities and engineering expertise to focus attention on the fast-growing SASE and security operations markets.
