SOC

New capabilities reduce alert noise, improve analyst productivity, and help MSSPs grow without adding headcount, while supporting incremental adoption across existing security stacks.

MSSPs are now expected to prove measurable security outcomes, support cyber insurance decisions, and demonstrate how they secure the shared infrastructure that underpins their services.

For MSSPs, managing cloud infrastructure and security operations through separate vendors has always meant slower response and split accountability. This partnership puts both functions under one roof.

The vendor benchmarked the performance of AI-augmented and human-only teams, and those using AI solved more challenges more quickly.

As attacks move faster and rely less on malware, MSPs and MSSPs must reduce exposure by limiting reachability, tightening credential use, and shifting trust from networks to individual processes.

Fortinet’s latest FortiOS release introduces deeper visibility into AI usage, expanded SASE deployment options, and a unified cloud SOC platform.

There is a a broader shift toward platform-based security operations where MSSPs deliver continuous monitoring, risk reduction, and incident response rather than deploying standalone tools.
