Fortinet’s New Solution Secures AI Models, Data, and Infrastructure

Featuring new ASIC-powered FortiGate 3800G and enhanced data and threat protection for LLMs, Fortinet delivers the industry’s first end-to-end security framework for AI data centers

Fortinet® (NASDAQ: FTNT), the global cybersecurity leader advancing the convergence of networking and security, has announced the launch of its Secure AI Data Center solution—the industry’s first comprehensive, end-to-end framework purpose-built to protect AI infrastructures. Designed to secure the entire AI stack, from data center infrastructure to applications and large language models (LLMs), the solution delivers advanced AI threat protection with ultra-low latency while reducing power consumption by an average of 69% compared to traditional approaches.

As part of the launch, Fortinet also introduced the FortiGate 3800G, a next-generation, high-performance data center firewall engineered to meet the immense performance and scalability demands of AI workloads. Powered by Fortinet’s NP7 and SP5 ASICs and equipped with 400 GbE connectivity, the FortiGate 3800G delivers hyperscale throughput, exceptional energy efficiency, and real-time protection for high-density GPU clusters. It is the latest addition to Fortinet’s data center firewall portfolio under the Secure AI Data Center framework.

“AI data centers require unprecedented levels of performance without compromising security,” said Nirav Shah, Senior Vice President of Products and Solutions at Fortinet. “Our Secure AI Data Center solution brings these two critical requirements together—combining ASIC-powered firewalls like the FortiGate 3800G with advanced protections for data, applications, and LLMs—so organizations can scale AI confidently, efficiently, and securely.”

Unified Security and Performance for Modern AI Environments

The Fortinet Secure AI Data Center solution provides end-to-end protection across the full AI lifecycle, embedding security into every layer of AI operations. From network segmentation and encrypted traffic inspection to application- and model-level defenses, the framework helps organizations prevent data leakage, block malicious inputs, and comply with evolving AI regulations—without sacrificing the performance required for GPU-intensive environments.

Key capabilities include:

• ASIC-accelerated segmentation and performance that delivers hyperscale throughput while significantly reducing energy costs per Gbps, improving sustainability and controlling AI infrastructure expenses.
• Scalable AI infrastructure protection through Fortinet’s data center firewalls, enabling real-time defense of large GPU clusters and AI workloads with 400 GbE connectivity and ASIC-powered efficiency.
• LLM security and data protection, safeguarding models against prompt injection, misuse, and data leakage by managing all model traffic and enforcing strict input and output guardrails across on-premise, hybrid, and cloud environments.
• Operational efficiency through the Fortinet Security Fabric, unifying firewalling, application security, and AI runtime protection under a single management platform to simplify compliance and reduce operational complexity.
• Granular application security for AI models and APIs, preventing code injection, tampering, and data theft through layered inspection and traffic sanitization.
• Quantum-safe security, integrating Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) and Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) to future-proof AI data confidentiality against emerging quantum threats.

Setting a New Benchmark for Secure, Scalable AI Data Centers

By combining zero-trust segmentation, AI workload protection, and compliance-ready security, the Secure AI Data Center solution delivers a unified approach to protecting GPU clusters, AI pipelines, and mission-critical operations. The framework ensures uninterrupted uptime, global compliance alignment, and long-term resilience for enterprises deploying AI at scale.

This launch reinforces Fortinet’s leadership in high-performance, AI-driven cybersecurity. With the Secure AI Data Center solution, Fortinet establishes a new industry benchmark—enabling organizations to bring AI workloads into production with confidence, efficiency, and trust.

“AI is transforming every aspect of our operations, from product innovation to supply chain optimization, while introducing new security challenges,” said Huy Ly, Head of Global IT Security at Monolithic Power Systems. “Fortinet’s Secure AI Data Center solution gives us the visibility, protection, and performance we need to operate high-density GPU clusters securely, while maintaining hyperscale throughput and cost efficiency.”

The performance and efficiency of the FortiGate 3800G, together with FortiGuard AI-Powered Security Services, are highlighted in Fortinet’s latest Security Compute Rating benchmarks, showcasing how the solution compares against leading firewalls in the market and sets new standards for AI data center security.
