In today's rapidly evolving threat landscape, security and network operations teams need more than just visibility—they need actionable insights that drive fast, effective decisions. Fortinet and WWT deliver unified monitoring and risk management solutions through FortiSIEM, enabling security and operations teams to detect threats, manage risk, and maintain uptime with confidence.

FortiSIEM has evolved into a powerful, scalable platform that goes beyond traditional Security Information and Event Management. It provides centralized data collection, real-time analytics, and increasingly autonomous, AI-driven investigation—all designed to simplify threat detection, incident response, compliance management, and performance monitoring.

With the 7.5 release, FortiSIEM takes a significant step toward agentic security operations: an AI agent that doesn't just summarize data but plans and executes its own investigations, alongside new capabilities for cross-platform threat hunting, flexible data enrichment, and resilient multi-site deployment.

Key FortiSIEM Capabilities and 7.5 Enhancements:

• Agentic AI Investigation (New in 7.5): FortiSIEM now performs Agentic Incident and Case Investigation. Given a set of prompts, the FortiAI agent builds an investigation plan, executes it step-by-step by running its own queries, and works toward a determination of whether an incident is a true or false positive—surfacing likely root cause. Built-in prompt sets are included, and prompts can be saved per rule for reuse on future incidents.
• Conversational FortiAI Chat (Enhanced in 7.5): The FortiAI Chat agent is now conversational and supports follow-up questions. Under the hood it uses a Model Context Protocol (MCP) service over the ClickHouse and PostgreSQL databases—translating natural-language questions into working SQL—with WebSocket streaming for real-time responses.
• Federated Search (New in 7.5, ClickHouse deployments): Hunt for observables—IPs, hosts, hashes, processes, URLs—across external datastores including AWS Security Lake, AWS S3, FortiEDR, and relational databases (PostgreSQL, MySQL, Snowflake). Analysts can pivot directly from Incidents and Analytics into a federated hunt, then refine results with Advanced Search and export to PDF or attach to Cases.
• Unified Data Ingestion and Event Tagging: Collects and normalizes data from a wide array of sources—logs, flow data, performance metrics, SNMP traps, cloud services, user behavior analytics (UBA), and third-party security tools—across on-prem, hybrid, and multi-cloud environments. New policy-based and file-based Event Tagging lets teams enrich events with custom business context (department, asset owner, location) that's immediately usable in rules and reports.
• Integrated NOC-SOC Operations: Breaks down the silos between network and security teams by correlating events and telemetry in one platform, delivering comprehensive visibility into both security posture and infrastructure health.
• AI-Driven Analytics: Leverages machine learning models and behavior baselines to detect anomalies, prioritize events, and surface stealthy threats—reducing alert fatigue and enabling faster triage.
• MITRE ATT&CK Mapping and Threat Intelligence: Provides context-rich analysis by mapping events and detections to the MITRE ATT&CK framework and integrating with FortiGuard threat intelligence for enriched alerting.
• Scalability and Multi-Tenant Performance: Built for enterprise-scale environments with multi-tenant support, distributed architecture, and high ingest rates. New ClickHouse Storage Regions let MSSPs and large organizations isolate event storage so data from specific collectors or tenants lands on dedicated data nodes with no overlap.
• Resilient, Multi-Site Deployment: Flexible deployment across public cloud, private cloud, and on-premises. High Availability now spans data centers—Supervisor nodes can run in separate sites (within latency thresholds) without VIP or DNS dependencies—delivering DR-grade resilience under a single, unified HA model.
• Automation, Orchestration, and Open Integration: Tight integration with FortiSOAR, FortiGate, and the broader Fortinet Security Fabric enables automated response actions and custom playbooks to reduce MTTD and MTTR. New webhook-based incident notifications extend alerting to Slack, Microsoft Teams, WhatsApp, Telegram, and custom applications, while OAuth token–based authentication secures public REST API access for modern integration pipelines.

FortiSIEM helps organizations move from reactive monitoring to proactive, risk-aware—and increasingly autonomous—security operations. With WWT's expertise in integration and deployment, customers can accelerate their journey toward unified visibility, intelligent automation, and scalable threat management.
