Is AI required for FortiGate anomaly detection?
No. Rule and baseline detections are the foundation; AI reporting adds value for analysis and summarization.
Anomaly Detection
FortiGate log anomaly detection
Anomaly detection is not just a static threshold; user behavior, time, source, and device context must be evaluated together.
Detected patterns
Alerts can be generated for after-hours VPN login, new IPsec endpoint, multi-country attempts for the same user, admin login anomaly, and deny-volume spikes.
Reducing false positives
Alert quality improves when business hours, allowlists, user exceptions, and device time zones are configured correctly.
