Bengaluru, May 25(CXO Media): Fortinet has partnered NVIDIA to accelerate the FortiAIGate solution with NVIDIA’s AI platforms and software technologies.
The joint solution will protect AI workloads, data, and autonomous agents in real time in data centers and the cloud. This enables organizations to monitor AI usage, and securely build, deploy, and scale agentic AI without compromising performance or governance.
Accelerated, safe AI runtime: FortiAIGate provides a secure foundation for organizations to rapidly adopt AI-driven applications and autonomous agents. It applies security guardrails for LLMs at runtime and is accelerated by NVIDIA Blackwell GPUs and NVIDIA Hopper with the latest open-source, distributed inference-serving framework NVIDIA Dynamo.
AI sovereignty: FortiAIGate enables organizations to develop, deploy, and govern AI using their own infrastructure, data, and workforce, ensuring compliance with local laws and security requirements by utilizing NVIDIA Nemotron safety models. This ensures compliance with local laws and security requirements by utilizing NVIDIA Nemotron safety models.
Zero-trust AI environments: FortiAIGate extends zero-trust security principles to AI environments, preventing LLM abuse and data leakage. It manages all AI model traffic and enforces strict guardrails on inputs and outputs, thereby blocking threats like prompt injection attacks on LLMs and filtering toxic or unauthorized content generated by AI.
Operational efficiency and lower TCO: FortiAIGate delivers high-throughput AI security with a fraction of the hardware footprint and energy use of traditional CPU-bound solutions. The result is better performance per dollar and a higher ROI for AI initiatives.
Scalable multitenant protection: FortiAIGate is architected for scale-out AI deployments and multitenant environments common in enterprises and AI data centers. It uses NVIDIA virtualization techniques to securely partition resources and isolate different AI workloads.
“FortiAIGate combines Fortinet’s AI-driven Security Fabric with NVIDIA’s high-performance computing and AI factories to stop threats, from malicious prompts to data exfiltration, without disrupting AI workflows,” claims John Whittle, COO, Fortinet.
“By integrating its FortiAIGate solution with the full-stack NVIDIA AI platform, Fortinet provides zero-trust security and real-time governance, reducing threat exposure by shortening response times,” adds Justin Boitano, Vice President, Enterprise AI Platforms, NVIDIA.
