Extending Network Security to AI Applications With FortiAIGate
Fortinet, Monday, October 26th, 2026
Fortinet explains how FortiAIGate inspects AI prompts, responses and MCP tool calls to extend network security to AI applications.
Fortinet argues that AI applications and agents require security that evaluates instructions, returned information and actions, since attacks like prompt injection carry no malicious payload.
It cites IBM's 2026 Cost of a Data Breach Report finding that over 20% of organizations reported breaches targeting AI models or applications.
FortiAIGate is a self-hosted AI gateway for LLMs, agents and MCP tools that inspects requests and responses before forwarding them.
Its controls include guardrails against prompt injection and jailbreaks, data loss prevention for 35 data types, MCP scanning, budget-based usage controls and activity logs.
