FortiGuard Services
Network and File Security
Services provide protection against network-based and file-based threats. This consists of
Intrusion Prevention (IPS) which uses AI/M models to perform deep packet/SSL inspection
to detect and stop malicious content, and apply virtual patching when a new vulnerability is
discovered. It also includes Anti-Malware for defense against known and unknown file-based
threats. Anti-malware services span both antivirus and file sandboxing to provide multi-
layered protection and are enhanced in real-time with threat intelligence from FortiGuard Labs.
Application Control enhances security compliance and offers real-time application visibility.
OT Security
The service provides OT detection, OT vulnerability correlation, virtual patching, OT signatures,
and industry-specific protocol decoders for overall robust defense of OT environments and
devices.
