Reimagining AI From A Security Risk Into An Asset With Fortinet
Fortinet, Monday, January 19th, 2026
Enterprises that move toward broad AI adoption often discover that, in spite of various benefits, it also introduces new security challenges. At AI Field Day 7, Fortinet presented a clear assessment of those risks and demonstrated how the Fortinet Security Fabric and FortiAI Assist can support secure deployment of AI systems.
The Expanding AI Threat Surface
As AI tools become integrated into daily workflows, organizations lose visibility into where data travels and how it is used. As Fortinet noted, this problem appears both in public AI services and in early stage internal projects. Employees may send sensitive data to external systems without realizing the implications, and developers may overlook controls when building internal AI features. The result is a growing threat surface that traditional monitoring does not always cover.
