Fortinet acquires Virtue AI to strengthen agentic security and red teaming capabilities

Fortinet has completed the acquisition of Virtue AI to integrate automated red teaming into its security ecosystem. The move specifically targets vulnerabilities in AI agents and protects against Model Context Protocol attacks within the FortiAIGate platform. This integration aims to identify and neutralise threats before they can be exploited by external actors.

Why it matters

For teams deploying autonomous agents, security is shifting from static model checks to dynamic runtime protection. This acquisition highlights the growing necessity of specialised tools to defend against agent specific attack vectors like prompt injection and context manipulation.

Key points

  • Fortinet integrates Virtue AI technology into the FortiAIGate security platform
  • The system focuses on automated red teaming to proactively hunt for agent vulnerabilities
  • New protections address emerging Model Context Protocol attack surfaces
