Fortinet® (NASDAQ: FTNT), announced new upgrades to its data and productivity security portfolio. The company revealed enhancements to FortiMail through the launch of the FortiMail Workspace Security suite.
These updates establish FortiMail as a highly customizable email security platform. It now extends protection beyond email to browsers and collaboration tools. This includes platforms like Microsoft 365, Teams, Google Workspace, and Slack.
Fortinet reported that the new capabilities provide broader, AI-powered protection across digital work environments. These advancements also include improvements to FortiDLP, the company’s data loss prevention and insider risk management solution.
According to Nirav Shah, Senior Vice President of Products and Solutions at Fortinet, “Cybercriminals are targeting users and using tools like FraudGPT, BlackmailerV3, and ElevenLabs to automate threats.” He added that Fortinet’s enhanced AI-powered security tools help defend against these sophisticated attacks.
The upgrades offer:
Fortinet highlighted that today’s hybrid workforce increases the attack surface due to reliance on SaaS and collaboration tools. The company’s 2025 Global Threat Landscape Report shows a rise in AI-powered cybercrime, including phishing and impersonation attempts.
FortiMail now includes flexible deployment across appliances, virtual machines, SaaS, and hosted services. It supports multiple operating modes such as gateway, server, ICES, and hybrid. The platform integrates with Perception Point, recognized in the 2024 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Email Security.
The FortiMail Workspace Security suite helps detect evasive attacks and block threats hidden in shared files or malicious links. It also improves visibility into user behavior across cloud environments.
FortiDLP adds secure data flow capabilities with lineage and sequence detection. It tracks how data is used and manipulated by users. It also flags suspicious behavior for further investigation. Fortinet reported that this helps prevent data exposure to unsanctioned SaaS and GenAI platforms.
Fortinet stated that these enhancements deliver a unified cybersecurity approach. The company aims to provide visibility, control, and faster threat response in today’s complex digital landscape.
