FortiAI-Assist: AI-Powered Security and Network Operations Automation
Part of the Fortinet FortiAI Platform | Available through TechPower
---
Overview
Security and network operations teams are under more pressure than ever. Alert volumes are rising, infrastructure is growing more complex, and skilled staff are stretched thin. FortiAI-Assist directly addresses these challenges by embedding generative AI and machine learning into daily NOC and SOC workflows - automating the repetitive, accelerating the complex, and giving your teams the intelligence they need to act faster and more confidently.
As an official Fortinet partner, TechPower helps enterprise IT teams deploy, license, and optimise FortiAI-Assist as part of a broader Fortinet Security Fabric strategy.

What Is FortiAI-Assist?
FortiAI-Assist is the operational intelligence layer within Fortinet's unified FortiAI platform. It uses AI to streamline everything from day-one network configuration through to ongoing threat hunting, alert triage, and automated remediation. Rather than replacing your analysts, it acts as a force multiplier - handling time-consuming tasks so your team can focus on higher-value work.
FortiAI-Assist operates across the Fortinet Security Fabric, meaning it works in context with your existing FortiGate, FortiAnalyzer, FortiManager, and FortiSIEM investments rather than functioning as an isolated add-on.

Key Capabilities
Automated NOC Operations (Day 1 to Day N)
- Generates SD-WAN configuration scripts automatically, reducing manual provisioning time
- Validates syntax and creates policies with built-in accuracy checks
- Supports VPN diagnostics and guided troubleshooting for faster fault resolution
- Enables one-click execution of proposed configuration fixes
- Continuously fine-tunes network configurations across the Fabric for sustained performance
Alert Triage and Threat Response
- Automatically triages incoming alerts to separate genuine threats from noise
- Summarises security incidents in plain language so analysts can act without deep investigation delays
- Recommends and initiates remediation actions with supporting context
- Automates threat hunting workflows to surface risks that would otherwise go undetected
- Reduces mean time to respond (MTTR) by handling initial investigation steps at machine speed
Predictive and Adaptive Network Optimisation
- Establishes dynamic baselines for normal network behaviour and flags deviations proactively
- Performs trend analysis and forecasting to anticipate performance issues before they impact users
- Delivers preventive actions rather than reactive fixes
- Supports continuous configuration tuning to maintain optimal performance as the environment evolves

Use Cases
Enterprise SOC Teams
Security analysts dealing with high alert volumes benefit immediately. FortiAI-Assist handles triage, correlates data across Fortinet tools, and surfaces only the alerts that require human judgment. This reduces analyst fatigue and speeds up response across the board.
Network Operations Centres
NOC engineers can automate configuration generation, validate changes before deployment, and troubleshoot issues faster. From initial setup through long-term operations, FortiAI-Assist reduces the manual overhead of managing complex multi-site environments.
Organisations with Lean IT Teams
Smaller IT departments gain capabilities that would otherwise require significantly more headcount. FortiAI-Assist compensates for skills gaps by guiding teams through complex tasks and automating processes that would otherwise demand specialist knowledge.
Compliance-Driven Environments
Automated audit trails, consistent policy application, and documented remediation steps support compliance reporting for regulated industries including financial services, healthcare, and government.

Why FortiAI-Assist Stands Out
- Integrated, not bolted on - FortiAI-Assist is built into the Fortinet Security Fabric, not layered on top. It shares context across FortiGate, FortiSIEM, FortiAnalyzer, and FortiManager, delivering more relevant and accurate AI-driven recommendations
- Trained on real-world threat intelligence - FortiGuard Labs provides continuous AI model updates based on one of the largest global threat intelligence datasets, keeping FortiAI-Assist current against evolving attack methods
- Explainable AI decisions - Recommendations come with reasoning, so analysts understand and trust the actions being suggested rather than operating on blind automation
- Low maintenance overhead - Threat intelligence and model updates are delivered automatically through FortiGuard AI-Powered Security Services, reducing the operational burden on your team
- Measurable ROI - Value is demonstrated through faster MTTR, reduced manual workload, and the ability to do more with existing staff and infrastructure
