Fortinet announces a new cloud-delivered “FortiGuard Inline AI Security Service” that extends its FortiGate firewall platform into AI security. The service is positioned as providing AI-specific inspection and “guardrails,” with the guardrails drawing from FortiAIGate. Fortinet also offers FortiAIGate separately as a gateway between applications and AI models, and it adds new FortiAIGate features alongside this firewall-related launch.
Across the two reports, both outlets frame the move as an expansion of Fortinet’s network security into AI protection. SiliconANGLE emphasizes the relationship between FortiGate, FortiGuard Inline AI Security, and FortiAIGate, noting that FortiAIGate supplies the guardrails. The Financial Post similarly highlights the same service and its intended capabilities—AI inspection and guardrails delivered to FortiGate—while largely focusing on the product announcement itself rather than additional operational details.
