Argus
Built from scratch as a converged platform with 13+ core security functions. It is designed to function as a single unit from the ground up, reducing complexity and improving efficiency.
Native and unified with no external tools. Event monitoring and response are embedded into the platform, allowing faster correlation and automated playbooks.
Real-time executive-level Trust Score. Security leaders gain instant visibility through a native dashboard without needing additional reporting solutions.
Integrated dashboards with policy enforcement. Compliance tracking is part of the platform, enabling proactive enforcement of standards without extra modules.
Orchestration across more than 96 tools is built in. Automation workflows are already available, removing the need for third-party orchestration engines.
Real-time link inspection with forensic analysis. Detection and investigation are included out of the box, ensuring rapid defense against phishing threats.
Native cloud telemetry with posture tracking. Argus continuously collects cloud signals and applies posture controls without relying on separate scanners.
Detection, prioritization, and remediation workflows are built in. Vulnerabilities are addressed directly within the platform, eliminating dependence on external patching suites.
Real-time protection with deception and full telemetry. Endpoints are secured natively, combining visibility and active defense without additional products.
Contextual, behavior-based AI with unified threat feeds. Threat insights are automatically correlated within Argus without requiring outside brokers.
Ready in 15 minutes with no complex setup. Preconfigured deployment lets teams focus on defense instead of integration.
Transparent and all-inclusive pricing. Every feature is covered under a single license with no hidden costs.
Designed for MSSPs and lean SOCs. Argus reduces operational overhead with prebuilt workflows and automation, enabling smaller teams to operate at scale.
Built-in CISO dashboards and board-level summaries. Reporting is built-in eliminating the need for external tools.
Fully converged with no stitching required. Capabilities are unified within Argus, avoiding the patchwork of multiple tools.
⚠️ FortiSOAR enables automation, but setup needed.
⚠️ FortiMail + FortiPhish (separate tools).
⚠️ FortiCNAPP + FortiGate Cloud (separate tools).
⚠️ Requires FortiVuln Mgmt + CI/CD integrations.
⚠️ FortiEDR + FortiClient (separate tools).
FortiGuard Labs (global threat intel). This feature is fully embedded into the platform, offering seamless functionality without requiring third-party tools or additional setup. It is optimized for performance and ease of use.
⚠️ Varies; setup across multiple Fortinet tools. This feature is available but depends on external modules or configurations. It may not deliver the same level of integration or efficiency as native implementations.
⚠️ Licensing varies per product; can be complex. This feature is available but depends on external modules or configurations. It may not deliver the same level of integration or efficiency as native implementations
Fortinet SOC Platform supports MSSPs. This feature is fully embedded into the platform, offering seamless functionality without requiring third-party tools or additional setup. It is optimized for performance and ease of use.
⚠️ FortiAnalyzer + FortiSIEM needed. This feature is available but depends on external modules or configurations. It may not deliver the same level of integration or efficiency as native implementations.
Requires stitching across Fortinet ecosystem. This capability is not present in the platform and cannot be achieved without relying on external solutions or workarounds.
