Using FortiAI
This information is also available in the FortiAnalyzer 7.6 Administration Guide: |
FortiAI is a generative AI security assistant that uses FortiGuard lab's high-fidelity security data and is continuously monitored and improved by FortiGuard Security experts. Administrators can use the FortiAI Assistant to answer questions and get help with configurations using FortiAI's advanced natural language processing capabilities.
FortiAI can be used in FortiAnalyzer for incident investigation, response, and threat hunting. The assistant can interpret security events, generate detailed summaries, identify potential impacts, and make remediation recommendations. FortiAI can also simplify platform usage with natural language prompts. For example, the assistant can create complex database queries, generate reports, write event handler rules, and execute many other FortiAnalyzer functions during typical workflow.
In order to use FortiAI, FortiAnalyzer must have a valid FortiAI license. For more information, see FortiAI license.
FortiAI can be accessed from the following areas in the FortiAnalyzer GUI:
-
The FortiAI icon in the banner.
-
The FortiAI module in the tree menu.
The FortiAI assistant is operated using prompts. You can use natural language to request actions or information from the FortiAI assistant. If you enter a prompt that the FortiAI assistant does not understand, it will ask for more details to clarify your request. The FortiAI assistant's responses can include text, images, widgets, and data retrieved directly from your FortiAnalyzer environment. Responses from the FortiAI assistant may also include suggestions and requests for you to consider. For example, after responding to a query for information, the FortiAI assistant may ask if you would like help performing a related action, such as filtering log view or creating an event handler.
The FortiAI module includes useful information about the feature, including example prompts, a summary of capabilities, and security information. Click the FortiAI icon in the banner to open the FortiAI assistant pane.
