Endpoint/Device Security Fortinet enhances endpoint security with AI monitoring and data loss prevention July 14, 2026 Share By SC Staff (Credit: Ralf – stock.adobe.com) Fortinet Inc. has expanded its FortiEndpoint platform with new features designed to help companies monitor employee use of artificial intelligence tools and prevent sensitive data from leaking into them. The update introduces AI visibility and controls, built-in data loss prevention, and an AI assistant for security teams, all integrated into a single agent, console, and license, based on information published by Silicon Angle. The enhancements focus on three key areas. First, FortiEndpoint will provide administrators with a consolidated view of sanctioned and unsanctioned AI applications, agents, and web tools in use across company devices, allowing them to permit, restrict, monitor, or block these tools based on policy. Second, integrated data loss prevention will inspect information moving to AI applications, flagging sensitive data like personally identifiable information and intellectual property before it leaves the device, while also providing real-time user prompts about acceptable use. Third, the new FortiAI-Assist feature will enable security analysts to investigate events, generate summaries, identify high-risk devices, and troubleshoot issues using natural language, with the tool offering policy recommendations and risk guidance. These additions, expected in the third quarter, aim to simplify security management in increasingly complex and AI-enabled environments.
