The newlt released FortiMail Workspace Security suite establishes FortiMail as a comprehensive and customisable email security platform, extending protection beyond email to include browser and collaboration security. These advancements, combined with new features in FortiDLP, Fortinet’s next-generation data loss prevention (DLP) and insider risk management solution, deliver a unified, AI-powered approach to safeguarding users and sensitive data across modern work environments.
Nirav Shah, senior vice president, products and solutions at Fortinet, stated that securing user productivity and sensitive data requires a unified strategy that considers both outsider threats and insider risks.
He noted the increasing sophistication of cybercriminals, who are leveraging tools like FraudGPT, BlackmailerV3, and ElevenLabs to automate the creation of malware, deepfake videos, phishing websites, and synthetic voices, making attacks more scalable and difficult to detect.
The enhanced workspace security solutions from Fortinet address the challenges posed by the hybrid workforce, which relies heavily on SaaS and collaboration tools, thereby increasing the attack surface. The 2025 Fortinet Global Threat Landscape Report highlights the rise of AI-enabled cybercrime, with attackers using automation to launch more convincing phishing, impersonation, and account takeover campaigns.
With the acquisition and integration of Perception Point, Fortinet has significantly expanded the capabilities of the FortiMail email security platform, establishing it as the industry’s broadest and most customisable solution. FortiMail can address various email security needs, including inbound, outbound, and internal mail protection, with flexible deployment options across appliances, virtual machines, hosted services, and SaaS.
The FortiMail Workspace Security suite extends protection beyond email to web browsers and collaboration tools, enabling organisations to stop sophisticated threats across platforms like Microsoft 365 and Teams, Google Workspace, and Slack. It blocks evasive web-based attacks, hidden malware in shared files, and malicious links sent through chat and collaboration apps.
FortiDLP strengthens this offering by adding advanced capabilities like secure data flow with data lineage and sequence detection, providing security and insider risk teams with detailed tracking of sensitive data from its source, capturing how that data is used and manipulated by users, and automatically correlating user activities to detect high-risk behaviour that warrants further investigation.
With these enhancements, Fortinet aims to redefine how organisations protect users and data in the modern workspace. By combining the power of AI with integrated email, browser, collaboration, and data security, Fortinet delivers the visibility, control, and response speed security teams need to manage complexity and mitigate threats.
