Fortinet Launches Secure AI Data Centre Solution to Protect Models, Data, and Infrastructure at Scale

Fortinet® NASDAQ: FTNT), the global cybersecurity leader driving the convergence of networking and security, has announced the Secure AI Data Centre solution, the industry’s first end-to-end framework purpose-built to protect AI infrastructures. Designed to secure the full AI stack—from data centre infrastructure to applications and large language models (LLMs)—the solution delivers advanced AI threat defence with ultra-low latency and reduces power consumption on average by 69 per cent compared to traditional approaches.

As part of this announcement, Fortinet introduced the FortiGate 3800G, a high-performance data centre firewall that delivers the power efficiency, throughput, and scalability required for AI workloads. Powered by NP7 and SP5 ASICs and 400 GbE connectivity, the 3800G is the latest addition to the Fortinet data centre firewall portfolio to deliver the hyperscale throughput, energy efficiency, and real-time GPU-cluster protection as part of the Secure AI Data Centre framework.

Nirav Shah, senior vice president, products and solutions, Fortinet, said, “AI data centres demand both massive performance and deep protection. Our Secure AI Data Centre solution unifies those capabilities, combining ASIC-powered firewalls like the FortiGate 3800G with advanced protection for data, applications and LLMs so organisations can scale AI without compromising security, performance, or efficiency.”

Unified Security and Performance from Fortinet for Modern AI Environments

The Fortinet Secure AI Data Centre solution delivers comprehensive protection across the entire AI workflow, from network segmentation and encrypted traffic inspection to application and model-level defence. By embedding security at every layer, the framework helps enterprises prevent data leakage, block malicious inputs, and meet evolving AI compliance standards while maintaining the performance required for high-density GPU environments.

ASIC-accelerated segmentation and performance: Delivers hyperscale throughput while cutting energy costs per Gbps and improving data centre sustainability, helping chief information officers contain AI infrastructure spending without sacrificing performance.
Scalable AI infrastructure protection with Fortinet data centre firewalls: Enables real-time protection of large-scale GPU clusters and AI workloads through ASIC-powered performance and 400 GbE connectivity, optimising both security and cost efficiency across Fortinet’s high-end data centre firewall portfolio.
LLM security and data protection: Protects LLMs against prompt injection, data leakage, and misuse by managing all model traffic and enforcing guardrails on inputs and outputs across local, hybrid, and public-cloud deployments.
Operational efficiency through the Fortinet Security Fabric: Unifies firewalling, application security, and AI runtime protections under one management plane, simplifying compliance, reducing audit time, and lowering operational complexity.
Granular application security for AI models and APIs: Eliminates code injection, tampering, and data theft attempts through layered defences that inspect and sanitise all traffic before it reaches AI models.
Quantum-safe security: Embeds post-quantum cryptography and quantum key distribution to future-proof AI data confidentiality and compliance against quantum-enabled threats.

Raising the Standard for Secure, Scalable AI Data Centres

By combining these capabilities, the Secure AI Data Centre solution provides a unified approach to securing GPU clusters, AI workloads, and data pipelines—enforcing zero-trust segmentation, maintaining compliance with global standards, and ensuring uninterrupted uptime for mission-critical operations.

This launch extends Fortinet’s legacy of leadership in performance, consolidation, and AI-driven security. With the Secure AI Data Centre solution, Fortinet sets a new benchmark for protecting AI environments at scale, delivering the resilience, trust, and operational simplicity enterprises need to confidently bring AI workloads into production.

Huy Ly, head of global IT security, Monolithic Power Systems, said, “AI is transforming every aspect of our business, from product design to supply chain management, while introducing new operational challenges. The Fortinet Secure AI Data Centre solution gives us the visibility, performance, and protection we need to operate high-density GPU clusters with confidence. With this solution integrated into our AI environment, we can safeguard sensitive models and data while maintaining hyperscale throughput with greater efficiency and cost performance.”
