Security Operations
Email remains one of the most essential and most targeted tools in today’s workplace. As hybrid teams rely more on SaaS and collaboration apps, attackers are using AI to launch more convincing phishing, impersonation, and account takeover campaigns, increasing risk across user interactions and data movement. As part of the AI-powered Fortinet Security Operations portfolio, FortiMail Email and Workspace Security delivers enterprise-grade email protection, advanced AI-powered threat detection, and flexible deployment options within a single-vendor platform to help organizations strengthen security, reduce complexity, and stay ahead of fast-evolving threats.
Fortinet has been named a Challenger in the 2025 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Email Security report, contributing to Fortinet’s recognition across 11 Gartner Magic Quadrant reports. We believe this placement validates Fortinet’s continued innovation with FortiMail Email and Workspace Security and our ability to deliver trusted, enterprise-ready email security to customers globally.
