FortiWeb features anomaly detection, API discovery and protection, bot mitigation, and client-side security. It leverages AI for detection of zero-day exploits, advanced threat analytics, and a built-in SOC agent. This way, FortiWeb reduces administrative overhead and TCO for local, hybrid, and cloud deployments. It also enables right-sizing cloud services and spending, as part of the FortiFlex program.
Detect and block emerging threats including AI-generated zero-day attacks that target applications—while securing legitimate users. FortiWeb’s dual-layer machine learning approach eliminates the excessive management overhead that traditional application learning requires. Applying machine learning to model each application, FortiWeb reduces administrative overhead by identifying malicious patterns, minimizing false positives, and prioritizing remediation contextually.
Stop malicious bot activity without blocking bots that support legitimate business needs, such as search engines or health and performance monitoring tools. Reduce reliance on outdated techniques that degrade the user experience and leverage advanced techniques such as bot deception, biometric detection, and machine learning to accurately identify and manage bot traffic. FortiWeb bot protection provides the visibility and control you need without slowing down users with unnecessary CAPTCHAs or challenges.
Protect the APIs that enable business-to-business communications and support mobile applications. FortiWeb API discovery and protection uses machine learning algorithms to automatically discover APIs by continuously evaluating application traffic. FortiWeb delivers out-of-the-box policies with an automatically generated positive security model policy for each schema specification (OpenAPI, XML, JSON), to thwart API exploits. It protects APIs and seamlessly integrates API security into the CI/CD pipeline.
FortiWeb addresses a critical PCI DSS requirement to monitor scripts running on payment pages. Client-side protection extends FortiWeb’s capabilities to the browser environment, addressing modern threats that arise after content is delivered to the client. It’s a policy-based feature that detects and mitigates unauthorized activity, such as third-party script injections, DOM manipulation, and form hijacking, within the user’s browser. This functionality is essential for defending against advanced client-side attacks that evade traditional request/response inspection.
FortiWeb offers the performance, manageability, and broad protection capabilities required to protect modern web applications. It comes in many form factors including hardware, virtual machines, and SaaS, and is available in public cloud marketplaces.
