AI‑driven security operations (SecOps) across multiframework empower organizations – Webinar

The session will explore how AI‑driven security operations (SecOps) across multiframework empower organizations to defend against sophisticated cyber threats, reduce detection and response times, and comply with evolving regulations. Participants will learn how Fortinet’s Security Operations platform integrates behavior‑based sensors to detect and disrupt threat actors across the attack surface and how centralized investigation and remediation can be orchestrated, automated and augmented to reduce cyber risk and operational cost . The session will also discuss how AI and automation trough AGENTIC AI support continuous compliance.

Learning objectives and benefits
