Fortinet Integrates FortiGate VM with NVIDIA BlueField-3 for Enhanced AI Infrastructure Security

Fortinet has announced the integration of FortiGate VM, its virtual cloud firewall, with NVIDIA's BlueField-3 data processing unit (DPU). This solution enables isolated infrastructure acceleration within AI environments, allowing security functions to operate directly on the DPU rather than the host CPU.

The integration aims to support high-performance private cloud and AI applications by improving throughput and reducing latency without impacting workloads. Key benefits include enhanced multitenant isolation, simplified policy enforcement, and operational efficiency for cloud service providers and enterprises. The solution, powered by FortiOS 7.6.3, allows organizations to enforce segmentation and zero-trust policies at line rate, ensuring consistent security across accelerated computing clusters.
