Fortinet

What is Fortinet?

Fortinet FortiEDR is an endpoint detection and response solution designed to provide both pre-infection prevention and post-infection containment in real time. Its agent monitors endpoint processes, memory, and file system activity continuously, using behavioral analysis to identify malicious patterns without relying solely on signature-based detection. When a threat is detected, FortiEDR can automatically defuse it by blocking malicious process execution while preserving forensic evidence for investigation, rather than simply killing the process and losing context. The platform integrates with FortiGate firewalls, FortiSIEM, and the broader Fortinet Security Fabric, enabling coordinated responses across network and endpoint layers. FortiEDR is designed with operational environments in mind, minimizing performance impact to remain viable on servers and legacy systems that other EDR solutions might disrupt.

How does Fortinet work with Qevlar?

Qevlar integrates with Fortinet to retrieve endpoint alerts and behavioral data as part of automated investigation workflows. When FortiEDR flags suspicious activity on an endpoint, Qevlar can correlate that signal with network traffic data from FortiGate or other sources to build a fuller picture of the attack chain.
