Fortinet, the global cybersecurity leader driving the convergence of networking and security, is accelerating the FortiAIGate solution with NVIDIA’s AI platforms and software technologies—protecting AI workloads, data, and autonomous agents in real time in data centers and the cloud, enabling organizations monitor AI usage, and securely build, deploy, and scale agentic AI without compromising performance or governance.
The solution’s inline deployment provides visibility while supporting data sovereignty requirements, delivering high-performance protection with minimal latency, according to the companies.
“The accelerating shift toward autonomous AI agents is creating unprecedented demand for secure, high-performance enterprise computing platforms. By integrating its FortiAIGate solution with the full-stack NVIDIA AI platform, Fortinet provides zero-trust security and real-time governance, reducing threat exposure by shortening response times,” said Justin Boitano, vice president, enterprise AI platforms, NVIDIA.
Business benefits of FortiAIGate for AI-driven enterprises include:
- Accelerated, safe AI runtime: FortiAIGate provides a secure foundation for organizations to rapidly adopt AI-driven applications and autonomous agents. It applies security guardrails for large language models (LLMs) at runtime and protects the ecosystem behind it, including MCP servers and AI agents. Accelerated by NVIDIA Blackwell GPUs and NVIDIA Hopper with the latest open-source, distributed inference-serving framework NVIDIA Dynamo, it operates at high performance so businesses can harness AI productivity gains without incurring unnecessary latency, slowdowns, or service degradation.
- AI sovereignty: With its self-hosting deployment modes, FortiAIGate enables organizations to develop, deploy, and govern AI using their own infrastructure, data, and workforce, ensuring compliance with local laws and security requirements, utilizing NVIDIA Nemotron safety models. FortiAIGate monitors user and device interactions, logging the actual prompt and response of any suspicious incident.
- Zero-trust AI environments: FortiAIGate extends zero-trust security principles to AI environments, preventing LLM abuse and data leakage. It manages all AI model traffic and enforces strict guardrails on inputs and outputs, blocking threats like prompt injection attacks on LLMs and filtering toxic or unauthorized content generated by AI.
- Operational efficiency and lower TCO: Built on NVIDIA AI infrastructure, FortiAIGate delivers high-throughput AI security with a fraction of the hardware footprint and energy use of traditional CPU-bound solutions. This means organizations can achieve low-latency protection for AI-powered applications without slowing them down, all while reducing server load and power consumption.
- Scalable multitenant protection: FortiAIGate is architected for scale-out AI deployments and multitenant environments common in enterprises and AI data centers. It uses NVIDIA virtualization techniques to securely partition resources and isolate different AI workloads or customer datasets on the same hardware.
FortiAIGate supports flexible deployment across on-premises, cloud, hybrid, and edge environments. It is available as a GPU-powered appliance for data centers or as a virtual appliance or as containers on NVIDIA-Certified Systems. Regardless of form factor, organizations benefit from consistent protection and centralized management. Its inline deployment between applications and AI models also helps meet data sovereignty requirements.
