Fortinet expands FortiEndpoint with AI monitoring and data controls
Fortinet Inc. today expanded its FortiEndpoint platform with a set of features aimed at helping companies monitor employee use of artificial intelligence tools and stop sensitive data from leaking into them.
The update adds AI visibility and controls, built-in data loss prevention and an AI assistant for security teams to the endpoint product, which Fortinet sells through a single agent, console and license.
Fortinet first outlined the plan at its Accelerate 2026 conference, pitching FortiEndpoint as one product to replace the separate tools companies run for endpoint protection, remote access and data security. The product also ties into the wider Fortinet Security Fabric. A risk signal from one device can then feed access and policy decisions across Fortinet’s other security and networking products.
The first of three areas centers on tracking AI use. FortiEndpoint gives administrators a single view of the sanctioned and unsanctioned AI applications, agents and web tools running on company devices, along with who is using them. Security teams can allow, restrict, monitor or block those tools based on company policy, a way to rein in the shadow AI that spreads when employees adopt applications without approval.
