Fortinet FortiEDR Automated Endpoint Protect &Response
Real-time threat prevention, detection, and remediation before damage is done. 
Fortinet FortiEDR – Real-Time Endpoint Protection & Response
FortiEDR provides advanced, real-time threat protection and automated incident response across workstations, servers (legacy and current), and OT environments all within a single, integrated platform.
Key Capabilities:
Proactive Risk Mitigation: Continuously reduces attack surface with built-in vulnerability assessment and risk-based policies.
Pre-Infection Defense: AI-powered NGAV engine blocks file-based malware before it executes.
Post-Infection Protection: Stops threats even after compromise no breach, no data loss with automated EDR capabilities like detection, containment, investigation, and remediation.
Flexible deployment and predictable costs make FortiEDR ideal for securing diverse environments.

Fabric Integration Overview
FortiEDR tightly integrates with Fortinet’s Security Fabric ecosystem to enhance endpoint-to-network visibility, automate response, and strengthen threat intelligence sharing:
FortiGate: Shares endpoint threat intel and app data, enabling FortiGate to take enhanced actions like IP blocking or user suspension after a breach.
FortiNAC: Sends asset data and threat alerts to isolate compromised endpoints via VLAN segmentation using Syslog integration.
FortiSandbox: Automatically submits suspicious files for real-time sandbox analysis and shares results for classification and threat response.
FortiSIEM: Sends events and logs to FortiSIEM for deep analytics, with out-of-the-box parsers and full API integration support.
FortiGuard Labs: Ensures up-to-date threat intelligence for real-time classification and automated playbook activation.
This unified integration provides coordinated defense, faster response, and smarter security posture management.
