SECURITY ortinet, the global cybersecurity

These new capabilities establish FortiMail as the broadest and most customisable email security platform and extend protection beyond email to include browser and collaboration security. These advancements, combined with new features in FortiDLP, Fortinet’ s next-generation data loss prevention( DLP) and insider risk management solution, deliver a unified, AI-powered approach to safeguarding users and sensitive data across today’ s dynamic work environments.

“ In today’ s evolving threat landscape, securing user productivity and sensitive data requires a unified strategy that considers both outsider threats and insider risks,” said Nirav Shah, Senior Vice President, Products and Solutions at Fortinet.“ Cybercriminals are aiming their efforts right at users and increasingly leveraging tools like FraudGPT, BlackmailerV3 and ElevenLabs to automate the creation of malware, deepfake videos, phishing websites and synthetic voices – making attacks more scalable, convincing, and difficult to detect. With our expanded AIpowered FortiMail Workspace Security suite and FortiDLP solutions, Fortinet empowers organisations to stay ahead of threat actors and insider risks while ensuring users, data and productivity remain secure.”

Today’ s hybrid workforce relies heavily on SaaS and collaboration tools, increasing both productivity and the attack surface. As users interact with sensitive data across these platforms, organisations must address threats to both users and data in tandem. The 2025 Fortinet Global Threat Landscape Report highlights the rise of AI-enabled cybercrime, with attackers using automation to launch more convincing phishing, impersonation and account takeover campaigns.

Fortinet’ s enhanced workspace security solutions meet this challenge head-on with AI-powered protection across email, browsers and collaboration environments, defending against external and internal threats wherever work happens. This spans the full spectrum of user interactions and data movement across the digital workspace:
