FortiXDR

Why do you need FortiXDR?

73% of organizations have an average of 45+ security tools without integration. Data silos mean invisible cross-domain attacks. Manual investigation takes hours, while attack dwell time increases.

FortiXDR is Extended Detection & Response natively integrated with Security Fabric. AI-powered investigation automatically correlates cross-domain alerts and conducts investigations. Automated playbooks execute response in seconds instead of hours.

How does it work?
