This white paper details how FortiOS 7.6 advances Fortinet's unified cybersecurity platform strategy by addressing the limitations of traditional siloed security approaches through deep integration across networking and security functions.

Built on a foundation of:

• One operating system (FortiOS)
• One unified agent (FortiClient with new EDR capabilities)
• One management tool (FortiManager)
• One data lake (FortiAnalyzer)

The platform delivers comprehensive protection across three key pillars:

• Secure Networking
• Unified SASE
• AI-Powered SOC Operations

FortiOS 7.6 introduces significant enhancements including:

• Generative AI capabilities through FortiAI for management, migration planning, and incident response;
• New managed services for FortiGate, SASE, and SOC operations;
• Advanced data loss prevention and remote browser isolation; and
• Expanded automation features that help organizations overcome the cybersecurity skills gap, while achieving better security outcomes, operational efficiency, and ROI through a truly integrated platform approach rather than cobbled-together point solutions.
