What it does

FortiAI is a set of security tools from Fortinet built to protect a company's own AI systems, including AI models, large language models, and AI workloads running in the cloud or on-site. It watches for prompt injection attacks, blocks unsafe outputs from company AI tools, and can stop sensitive data from leaking out through an AI chat tool. It works alongside other Fortinet products, including FortiWeb for web traffic and FortiCNAPP for cloud workloads, in what Fortinet calls its Security Fabric. Threat data comes from FortiGuard Labs, Fortinet's threat research team, and updates flow to FortiAI automatically. Fortinet says it can detect and block an AI-related threat in under one second.

Where it can help

This fits a company already using Fortinet firewalls or cloud security tools that is now rolling out AI tools like chatbots or internal copilots and wants AI governance without buying a whole new vendor stack. A good starting point is scoping which AI services staff already use, then turning on FortiAI's discovery and policy features for those first. Fortinet does not publish a set price for FortiAI; it is sold through the same quote-based licensing as the rest of the Security Fabric, tied to your deployment size, so treat any online pricing as a rough guess and ask your Fortinet reseller for a real number. One risk: getting full value means running other Fortinet products too, so a mixed-vendor shop may see a smaller benefit.

How the number is calculated

The score converts the baseline ELO rating onto the TriVista scale. The headline badge rounds to a whole number. Scores are not silently clipped or capped.

TriVista Score = 50 + (ELO − 1350) / 6

Before you choose
  • Customer feedback is not yet strong enough to change the starting rating.
  • The starting rating includes a product-specific comparison.
  • Check the current price before you decide.
  • We recorded rollout time, how it runs, and when it does not fit.
How company details affect the score

The model adjusts the starting rating using the company details you select. Use these estimates to prioritize your review, then test the tool against your own requirements.

Exit and rollback

Review before rollout: confirm how to export your data, revoke access, and return to your existing workflow. Assign an owner and test the rollback plan before expanding use.
