Cloud Native Edge and Endpoint Security
Fortinet has also partnered with Google Cloud to deliver modern endpoint protection, detection, and response to reduce the risk of compromised devices that enable user productivity and application delivery anywhere, any time. Specifically, Fortinet FortiEDR enhances Google Cloud’s edge and zero trust solutions and provides customers patented, behavior-based capability.

These capabilities detect violations of legitimate operating system activity, defuse violations in real-time without interrupting normal system operations, and classifies them with the help of both Artificial Intelligence in the cloud and remote expert human analysis in FortiGuard Labs. This capability has been consistently validated through independent, comparative tests run by AV-Comparatives, MITRE Engenuity, and customers themselves. Fortinet’s FortiEDR will also soon be available directly from the Google Cloud Marketplace.
