Organizations need endpoint protection solutions that deliver real-time defense, seamless integration, and automated incident response.

FortiEDR, part of the Fortinet SecOps platform, is the ultimate solution for safeguarding your endpoints, workstations, servers, and cloud workloads. By proactively shrinking the attack surface, preventing malware infections, and automating responses, FortiEDR ensures your business is ready to tackle modern cyber challenges.

FortiEDR Advanced Endpoint Protection

FortiEDR provides evasion-resistant real-time protection, tailored to combat sophisticated cyber threats such as ransomware. Designed with out-of-the-box policies aligned with the MITRE ATT&CK framework, FortiEDR equips security teams with the tools to respond to advanced tactics, techniques, and procedures. Whether securing workstations or cloud workloads, FortiEDR ensures a strengthened cybersecurity posture across legacy and modern operating systems.

How the FortiEDR Collector Works

The lightweight FortiEDR collector agent is a game-changer in endpoint protection. It seamlessly installs on organizational devices without requiring a reboot and has minimal impact on system performance. By leveraging compression and limited metadata retention, FortiEDR reduces network traffic, CPU usage, memory demands, and disk space consumption. This efficiency translates into a rapid return on investment, freeing resources previously allocated to other EDR solutions.

FortiEDR supports logging and simulation modes during deployment, allowing organizations to test capabilities before fully activating protection mode.

Automated Responses for Complex Threats

FortiEDR’s automation capabilities are at the forefront of its effectiveness. Through customizable playbooks, it categorizes incidents and initiates actions such as:

• Sending notifications.

• Blocking domains.

• Isolating devices.

• Deleting malicious files.

• Resetting credentials.

• Blocking malicious IP addresses.

These actions seamlessly transition from simulation to protection mode, ensuring threats are effectively neutralized across diverse environments, including Windows and Linux devices.
