Security Fabric APIs
Integrate with the Fortinet Security Fabric
Fortinet Security Fabric Enables Digital InnovationTechnology alliance partners integrate with the Fortinet Security Fabric via application programming interfaces (APIs) to actively collect and share threat and mitigation information to improve threat intelligence, enhance overall threat awareness, and broaden end-to-end threat response. The APIs enable automated operations through dynamic sharing of local and global threat intelligence across security components, which can use that information to orchestrate a coordinated, rapid threat response to stop cyberthreats anywhere along the attack chain. The Security Fabric enables the development and delivery of comprehensive, end-to-end security solutions that can dynamically adapt to the evolving network architecture as well as the changing threat landscape.
