Fortinet® (NASDAQ: FTNT), a global leader in cybersecurityCybersecurity solutions are essential in today’s digital age…, has announced the launch of FortiDLP, a next-generation solution for data loss prevention (DLP) and internal risk management. This solution, based on the innovative Next DLP technology and integrated into the Fortinet Security Fabric, is designed to help large enterprises manage data security, enforce protection policies, and detect potential internal threats in a scalable and efficient manner.
A Step Forward in Data Protection with AI
FortiDLP stands out for its ability to leverage artificial intelligence to enhance threat detection and internal risk management. “In an era where data protection is paramount, FortiDLP offers a next-generation solution that combines advanced detection and internal risk management through AI,” said John Maddison, Fortinet’s Chief Marketing Officer. This tool allows security teams to anticipate risks, streamline incident response, and mitigate threats more quickly than traditional DLP solutions.
Fortinet aims to address common issues with conventional DLP tools through FortiDLP, such as managing dispersed data in a hybrid work environment, unauthorized use of SaaS applications, and the increasing risk of employees handling sensitive data.
FortiDLP: A Solution Designed for Today’s Demands
FortiDLP offers several advanced features that differentiate it from other DLP solutions on the market, including:
- Data Protection in Unapproved AI Tools: FortiDLP allows employees to safely use generative AI tools, such as ChatGPT or Google Gemini. Administrators can set policies to alert users about the appropriate use of data, ensuring they do not share sensitive corporate information with unauthorized tools.
- Visibility and Protection from Day One: The solution provides automatic visibility and protection of data from the moment of implementation, with preconfigured policies and machine learning that functions even when devices are disconnected from the network.
- Protection Against Internal Risks: FortiDLP identifies and monitors employee behavior, detecting actions and patterns that could represent internal risks. The tool allows monitoring of access and use of sensitive data, providing an additional layer of security against potential leaks.
- SaaS Application Protection: The solution offers visibility into user interactions with cloud data and protects information as it moves outside the cloud. Additionally, it classifies and evaluates SaaS applications based on their risk, enabling the detection and prevention of potential data breaches.
- Origin-Based Data Protection: FortiDLP provides a clear view of data exposure risks through a control system that tracks and prevents the outbound movement of information from unauthorized devices and applications, such as USBs, printers, and platforms like Slack, Office 365, and Google Workspace.
- User Education on Risk Awareness: The solution allows administrators to set up customized messages to educate users about the importance of protecting sensitive data, fostering a culture of responsibility around security.
Innovation in Internal Risk Management
Unlike conventional DLP tools that rely on rigid policies and data classification, FortiDLP uses artificial intelligence to analyze risk incidents and generate contextual alerts. The tool integrates the FortiAI assistant, which summarizes suspicious activity data according to the MITRE Engenuity knowledge base on internal threat tactics, making incident review easier for analysts.
Commitment to Enterprise Data Security
Fortinet offers FortiDLP as a standalone solution as well as part of its Security Service Edge (SSE), reinforcing its commitment to advanced data protection. By focusing on internal threats and risk management in an increasingly complex digital environment, FortiDLP is an essential tool for companies looking to keep their data secure without compromising productivity.
With its AI-driven approach, Fortinet seeks to empower organizations to protect their digital assets in real time, contributing to a safer business environment that meets the demands of the information age.
