Fortinet announced the availability of FortiSOC, a unified, cloud-delivered security operations center (SOC) platform. FortiSOC brings together six security operations functions into a single Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) experience and embeds agentic AI to autonomously investigate and correlate alerts across assets and identities, then recommend or execute response actions under analyst oversight. Built on Fortinet’s proven security operations (SecOps) technologies, FortiSOC helps organizations simplify and scale modern operations through one console, one subscription, and one unified operating model.
“Security teams today are being challenged by faster attacks, growing investigation volume, and fragmented operations that simply don’t scale,” Michael Xie, founder, president, and chief technology officer at Fortinet, said in a Tuesday media statement. “FortiSOC gives organizations a simpler way to operationalize the SOC capabilities they need through a unified, cloud-delivered platform designed to support security teams of all sizes, from teams building foundational capabilities to enterprises scaling advanced SOC environments.”
He added that with embedded AI, integrated workflows, and built-in best practices informed by Fortinet’s own global security operations center, FortiSOC delivers the power of an AI SOC to help customers eliminate complexity, automate threat detection and response, and stay a step ahead of attackers.
“IDC research shows that organizations are increasingly prioritizing analyst workflow and investigation experience as well as cloud-delivered security operations as they work to improve visibility, streamline processes, and accelerate response,” Michelle Abraham, senior research director for security and trust at IDC. “FortiSOC builds on Fortinet’s established security operations portfolio by combining proven technologies into a unified SaaS platform that can support both foundational and advanced SOC use cases.”
FortiSOC is designed to simplify how organizations operationalize security operations by unifying security information and event management (SIEM); security orchestration, automation, and response (SOAR); threat intelligence; and behavioral and identity threat detection (ITDR) into a single platform. With agentic AI and FortiGuard Labs threat intelligence, FortiSOC extends the SecOps innovations introduced at Fortinet Accelerate 2026 by integrating analytics, investigation, automation, and response workflows into a single cloud-delivered experience for modern environments. FortiSOC enables security teams to move from alert to investigation to response with reduced friction, fewer operational silos, and stronger cross-environment visibility.
FortiSOC is designed to support organizations at every stage of SecOps adoption, from resource-constrained teams establishing foundational monitoring capabilities to highly sophisticated and advanced SOC teams requiring deeper automation, broader correlation, and AI-assisted investigation at scale.
Based on proven Fortinet technologies, FortiSOC extends this journey through a cloud-delivered approach that combines advanced cyber defense, essential network operations center (NOC) and IT visibility, and adaptable workflows that can expand with customer needs. Organizations can use it to establish a streamlined entry into SecOps, modernize legacy approaches, or scale large or mature environments without changing direction as requirements evolve.
FortiAI-Assist further differentiates FortiSOC by applying autonomous investigation, AI-generated playbooks, and Model Context Protocol (MCP)-powered agent coordination across alerts, investigations, threat hunting, cases, and response actions. Leveraging enterprise-wide telemetry and threat intelligence, FortiAI-Assist helps coordinate activity across tools, workflows, and teams within the same platform. Security teams can tailor processes, coordinate activity across security and IT systems, involve stakeholders across departments, and extend use cases over time while maintaining the speed, consistency, and control required in modern environments.
FortiSOC unifies SIEM, SOAR, user and entity behavior analytics (UEBA), case management, threat intelligence, ITDR, and AI-driven operations within a single SaaS platform. By consolidating these capabilities, it enables security teams to leverage AI-driven speed, consistency, and visibility while reducing the operational burden of managing multiple tools.
A single console and subscription model helps organizations reduce procurement complexity, simplify daily operations, and optimize resource allocation, allowing security teams to focus on detecting and stopping threats more effectively.
The platform is available with out-of-the-box best-practice detection methods, playbooks, and other content based on Fortinet’s global SOC operations. Real-time threat intelligence from FortiGuard Labs, outbreak alerts, and monthly content updates help organizations keep pace with rapidly evolving cyber threats.
Native integrations across the Fortinet Security Fabric and thousands of third-party connectors help eliminate visibility gaps and support automated detection and response across security, IT, and business environments. MCP support further extends these capabilities by enabling FortiAI-Assist to orchestrate and coordinate AI-driven tasks across FortiSOC, reducing manual handoffs and accelerating remediation efforts.
FortiSOC complements and expands the broader Fortinet SOC Platform portfolio of FortiAnalyzer, FortiSIEM, and FortiSOAR by uniting and extending these capabilities for customers who prefer a single cloud-based SOC platform model. These existing best-of-breed solutions will continue to be enhanced and available. Together, these solutions comprise the Fortinet SOC Platform, which delivers flexible pathways and purchase options tailored to meet customer needs today and offering them a smooth pathway for future evolution.
As organizations modernize SecOps, analysts continue to see growing demand for integrated, cloud-delivered SOC platforms that simplify operations and reduce tool sprawl.
