What sets FortiEDR apart is its ability to act before damage occurs. Rather than simply alerting your team to a potential threat and waiting for human intervention, FortiEDR automatically contains and neutralises malicious activity in real time, stopping breaches mid-execution, even when the threat is entirely new and has never been seen before. This combination of pre-infection prevention and post-infection response gives organisations a level of endpoint protection that reactive, signature-based tools cannot match.
FortiEDR is cloud-native, lightweight, and designed to operate across distributed environments, making it equally effective for organisations managing a handful of devices from a single office or thousands of endpoints across multiple sites and remote locations.
Real-Time Threat Prevention: Block malicious activity before it executes, preventing breaches at the point of attack rather than responding after the fact.
Automated Incident Response: Contain and remediate threats automatically, without waiting for manual intervention, reducing dwell time and limiting the blast radius of any security incident.
Behavioural-Based Detection: Identify threats based on what they do, not just what they look like; catching zero-day attacks, fileless malware, and advanced persistent threats that evade signature-based tools entirely.
Ransomware Protection: Detect and stop ransomware activity in real time, including novel strains and zero-day variants, before encryption begins and data is lost.
Proactive Risk and Vulnerability Management: Continuously assess endpoint vulnerabilities and misconfigurations, enabling your team to remediate weaknesses before attackers can exploit them.
Cloud-Native Architecture: Deploy and manage FortiEDR across your entire endpoint estate from a single cloud-based console, with a lightweight agent that has negligible impact on device performance, keeping your users productive and your systems running smoothly.
FortiEDR is a native component of the Fortinet Security Fabric, designed to work in concert with your broader Fortinet environment to deliver unified, coordinated protection across every layer of your network. This deep integration means that endpoint telemetry and threat intelligence generated by FortiEDR doesn’t sit in isolation, it flows across your entire security ecosystem, enriching detection, accelerating response, and giving your team a complete, correlated view of your security posture.
FortiEDR integrates with FortiGate Next-Generation Firewalls to correlate endpoint activity with network-level threat data, enabling coordinated containment that spans both the device and the network simultaneously. Integration with FortiSIEM centralises endpoint alerts alongside broader security event data, providing your analysts with the full context needed to investigate and respond to incidents efficiently. FortiSOAR extends this further, enabling automated playbook-driven response workflows that act on FortiEDR detections without requiring manual intervention at every step. FortiManager rounds out the ecosystem by providing centralised policy management and configuration control across your Fortinet deployment.
The result is a unified security architecture where every component reinforces the others, delivering greater visibility, faster response, and more effective protection than any single tool could provide in isolation.
Defend against the full spectrum of modern threats, from known malware and ransomware to advanced zero-day attacks and fileless techniques, with a solution that combines prevention, detection, and automated response in a single, lightweight agent that won't slow your users down.
Automated containment and response capabilities dramatically reduce the time between initial compromise and remediation, limiting the window of opportunity for attackers to cause damage, move laterally, or exfiltrate data, without waiting for manual intervention.
FortiEDR's detailed endpoint telemetry, automated incident logging, and centralised reporting support compliance with GDPR, PCI DSS, ISO 27001, and Cyber Essentials Plus, providing the audit-ready evidence your organisation needs to demonstrate effective endpoint security controls.
By automating the containment and response actions that would otherwise require manual analyst intervention, FortiEDR reduces the operational burden on your security team, freeing them to focus on strategic priorities rather than routine incident handling.

FortiEDR is Fortinet’s advanced Endpoint Detection and Response solution. Unlike traditional antivirus tools, which rely primarily on known malware signatures to block threats, FortiEDR uses behavioural analysis and machine learning to detect and respond to threats based on what they do, making it effective against zero-day attacks, fileless malware, and advanced persistent threats that signature-based tools cannot detect. Critically, FortiEDR also provides automated response capabilities, containing and neutralising threats in real time without waiting for human intervention.
FortiEDR detects ransomware by monitoring endpoint behaviour in real time and identifying the specific actions associated with ransomware execution, such as rapid file encryption, shadow copy deletion, and abnormal process activity. When ransomware behaviour is detected, FortiEDR automatically contains the affected endpoint and terminates the malicious process before encryption can progress, protecting your data even when the ransomware variant is entirely new and has no existing signature.
Yes. FortiEDR’s cloud-native architecture makes it well-suited to organisations with remote workers, distributed sites, or hybrid working arrangements. The lightweight agent communicates with the cloud management console regardless of where the endpoint is located, ensuring consistent protection and visibility across your entire endpoint estate, whether devices are on-premises, at home, or connecting from any other location.
FortiEDR is a native component of the Fortinet Security Fabric and integrates with FortiGate for network-level correlation and containment, FortiSIEM for centralised event management and analytics, FortiSOAR for automated playbook-driven response, and FortiManager for centralised policy and configuration management. This integration enables a coordinated, fabric-wide response to endpoint threats, dramatically improving detection accuracy and reducing mean time to respond.
