Fortinet Boosts FortiAIGate With NVIDIA to Secure Autonomous AI Agents and Cloud Workloads
The enhanced joint solution is designed to secure AI workloads, data, and autonomous agents in real time across data centers and cloud environments, while enabling organizations to monitor AI usage and safely build, deploy, and scale agentic AI systems without compromising performance or governance.
Fortinet, a global cybersecurity leader focused on the convergence of networking and security, has announced an acceleration of its FortiAIGate solution through integration with NVIDIA’s AI platforms and software technologies. The enhanced joint solution is designed to secure AI workloads, data, and autonomous agents in real time across data centers and cloud environments, while enabling organizations to monitor AI usage and safely build, deploy, and scale agentic AI systems without compromising performance or governance. Its inline deployment approach provides visibility into AI operations while supporting data sovereignty requirements, ensuring high-performance protection with minimal latency.
“Enterprises everywhere are racing to adopt AI, and security has become a critical enabler of that innovation. Together with NVIDIA, we’re delivering a solution that helps organizations secure and optimize AI deployments while maintaining performance, controlling costs, and meeting data sovereignty requirements. FortiAIGate combines Fortinet’s AI-driven Security Fabric with NVIDIA’s high-performance computing and AI factories to stop threats, from malicious prompts to data exfiltration, without disrupting AI workflows.”
– John Whittle, Chief Operating Officer, Fortinet
“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.”
– Justin Boitano, Vice President, Enterprise AI Platforms, NVIDIA
According to Fortinet, FortiAIGate is designed to deliver several business benefits for AI-driven enterprises. These include accelerated and secure AI runtime environments, AI sovereignty through self-hosted deployment options, zero-trust enforcement for AI systems, improved operational efficiency with lower total cost of ownership, and scalable multi-tenant protection for complex enterprise environments.
The solution also supports flexible deployment across cloud, on-premises, hybrid, and edge environments, and is available as a GPU-powered appliance, virtual appliance, or containerized deployment on NVIDIA-Certified Systems. It can operate consistently across environments while maintaining centralized management and enforcing inline protections between AI applications and models to support data sovereignty requirements.
Fortinet says FortiAIGate sets a new benchmark for secure AI ecosystems by combining real-time threat detection, zero-trust enforcement, and AI-specific governance controls. The collaboration with NVIDIA underscores both companies’ focus on secure-by-design innovation as organizations increasingly adopt advanced analytics, generative AI, and autonomous AI agents at scale.
