What it Does

FortiSIEM generates incidents when logs are received that match rules configured in the system. These logs can be from any supported device. When an incident is generated, FortiSIEM can forward the incident details to FortiNAC for enforcement.

FortiNAC parses the incident received from FortiSIEM, and uses the parsed data to generate a security event. These security events can then be used by FortiNAC to trigger an automated or manual action, such as a device quarantine.

In return, FortiNAC can send logs back to FortiSIEM via Syslog. These can be parsed by FortiSIEM and stored along with other events for inclusion in dashboards, reports, analytics and rules.

This flexible integration allows FortiSIEM and FortiNAC to work together to action events from across the network.
