Fortinet's Most Intelligent EDR, Delivered by the UK's Most Accredited Fortinet Partner
What is FortiEDR?
FortiEDR is Fortinet’s Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) platform, designed to prevent, detect, and respond to cyber threats before they can disrupt your organisation. Unlike traditional endpoint security tools that focus solely on detection, FortiEDR combines proactive threat prevention, real-time visibility, and automated incident response within a single solution.
Using behavioural analysis and continuous monitoring, FortiEDR can identify suspicious activity, stop attacks before damage occurs, and rapidly contain compromised devices. This helps organisations reduce security risk, improve response times, and strengthen protection across their entire endpoint estate.
Built for modern, distributed environments, FortEDR provides centralised management through a cloud-based platform, enabling security teams to protect users and devices across offices, remote locations and hybrid workforces from a single pane of glass.
Why Choose FortiEDR?
FortiEDR is part of the Fortinet Security Fabric, enabling organisations to extend security beyond the network and into every endpoint. Rather than operating as a standalone solution, FortiEDR shares intelligence across the wider Fortinet ecosystem, helping security teams gain greater visibility, accelerate threat response, and strengthen overall cyber resilience.
By combining proactive threat prevention, automated response, and continuous endpoint monitoring, FortiEDR helps reduce the risk of successful attacks while giving IT and security teams the tools they need to investigate and remediate incidents quickly.
Integration with solutions such as FortiGate, FortiSIEM, FortiSOAR, and FortiManager enables threat intelligence and security data to flow seamlessly between platforms, creating a unified approach to detection, response, and policy management. The result is stronger protection, improved operational efficiency, and greater confidence that threats can be identified and contained before they impact the business.
