business operations online. The initial release of Fortinet Advisor will help
support and guide security operations (SecOps) teams so they can investigate and
remediate threats faster than ever before.

enable customers to slash the time needed to identify and contain threats from
more than 20 days to less than an hour and condense investigation and
remediation timelines from more than 18 hours to 15 minutes or less.(1) By
providing contextually aware incident analysis, remediation guidance, and
playbook templates, Fortinet Advisor delivers critical information in natural
language within seconds so SecOps teams can further reduce the mean time to
detect and respond as well as improve their organizations' overall risk posture.

  * Interprets security incidents: Fortinet Advisor rapidly analyzes alerts to
    generate easy-to-understand incident summaries within seconds, including
    context and potential impact.
  * Builds complex investigation queries: Fortinet Advisor helps security
    analysts generate productive queries to aid investigations. Analysts enter
    their desired insights-in natural language-into Fortinet Advisor, which
    creates precise syntax to return useful results.

* Creates remediation plans: Fortinet Advisor aids in rapid threat response by

    suggesting threat remediation plans. It can also refine suggested response
    plans based on real-time analyst feedback.

* Augments playbook creation: Security architects can consult Fortinet Advisor

    to generate playbook templates, translating processes into actionable plans
    quickly.
