Fortinet and Equinix announced on Thursday, November 5, that FortiAIGate is available on the Equinix Distributed AI Hub. The companies presented the arrangement as a validated reference architecture for securing and governing artificial-intelligence workloads spread across clouds, data centers and other environments. The announcement was published by Fortinet Investor Relations.

Security moves into AI infrastructure

FortiAIGate is intended to inspect prompts and responses, enforce centralized security policies and provide visibility into AI usage. The architecture covers sanctioned large language model and Model Context Protocol traffic, while Fortinet says FortiGate can provide visibility into unsanctioned or shadow AI activity across the network.

The Equinix Distributed AI Hub connects AI agents, models, data, computing resources and cloud providers through private interconnection. Fortinet and Equinix said the validated design places security closer to workloads and data while supporting distributed deployments.

Governance adds cost and data controls

The companies said customers can track per-token language-model costs and set budgets, limits and alerts. FortiAIGate can also keep control, management and inspection within customer infrastructure, an approach aimed at data-residency and regional-governance requirements.

Fortinet stock traded at 108.16 euros on Lang & Schwarz at 16:43 CET on Friday, November 6. The quote is available through the real-time quote of Fortinet stock.
