Growth & Insights and Company News
6 month growth
↑ 0%1 year growth
↑ 1%2 year growth
↑ 0%Fortinet reported strong second-quarter performance driven by accelerating hardware sales and growing adoption of secure networking solutions. Product revenue surged 52%, with customers purchasing larger hardware appliances to support AI infrastructure, increased network traffic, SD-WAN and operational technology security requirements. CFO Christiane Ohlgart cited broad-based global demand across multiple use cases. Unified SASE grew 35% to roughly one-quarter of sales, whilst FortiSASE billings more than doubled. The company is leveraging its existing SD-WAN customer base to expand SASE adoption, combining cloud security with edge hardware. OT security billings rose 55% as organisations increasingly recognise risks facing critical infrastructure. Service billings increased 26%, and remaining performance obligations reached $7.7 billion. Ohlgart said customers are moving towards larger appliances, with average selling prices rising even after normalising for component cost increases.
Fortinet advances Continuous AI protection with the acquisition of Virtue AI. Virtue AI will enhance the Fortinet AI-Native Security Fabric with continuous agentic AI validation and runtime protection across the AI lifecycle. August 17, 2026 09:00 ET | Source: Fortinet, Inc. SUNNYVALE, Calif., Aug. 17, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) - Fortinet(R)(NASDAQ: FTNT), the global cybersecurity leader driving the convergence of networking and security, today announced it has acquired Virtue AI, an innovator in AI runtime protection, automated AI validation, and security for autonomous AI systems. The acquisition advances the company's broader Security for AI strategy and vision for securing the agentic enterprise, building on Fortinet's existing AI security solution portfolio, including its FortiGate Hyperscale Firewall. As organizations rapidly deploy AI applications and autonomous agents, their attack surface expands beyond traditional networks, users, endpoints, applications, and cloud workloads. It now includes prompts, models, agents, Model Context Protocol (MCP) tools, application programming interface (API) calls, and AI infrastructure. Organizations need to adopt AI with confidence, keep it secure in production, and trust it behaves as intended. Fortinet met that need earlier this year with FortiAIGate, which safeguards large language models (LLMs) from prompt injections, data leakage, model poisoning, excessive resource consumption, and other emerging AI-specific risks. Virtue AI extends that security to AI models, applications, and agentic systems from development through runtime, leveraging Virtue AI's Guardian Agent abilities and key product capabilities, including: * Agentic system red-teaming: Tests autonomous agents for exploitable weaknesses across more than 50 sandboxed environments and 14 high-stakes domains, including simulated prompt-injection and MCP-based attacks against leading agent frameworks. * Agent protection, governance, and visibility: Provides full visibility into agents and AI tools running in their environment, discovers unsanctioned AI applications and agents, scans MCP tools and source code for hidden risks, monitors agent behavior, and blocks malicious tool calls before they act. * Continuous AI validation: Identifies new risks across every model update and fine-tuning of policies, while generating audit-ready evidence to support security and compliance reviews. The automated red-teaming runs across hundreds of attack vectors and more than 1,000 risk categories, with multimodal testing and on-demand reporting for security, risk, and compliance teams. * Real-time guardrails: Enforces customizable policies across text, images, video, audio, and AI-generated code to keep harmful content, sensitive data, jailbreaks, and vulnerable code from reaching users or downstream systems. "AI is fundamentally changing enterprise computing, and security must evolve just as quickly," said Ken Xie, Founder, Chairman of the Board, and Chief Executive Officer at Fortinet. "Virtue AI's technology will advance our vision for continuous AI assurance, helping customers govern and protect AI systems throughout their lifecycle and while operating them confidently at enterprise scale." According to Gartner(R), "the market for securing AI ecosystems and AI agents is rapidly expanding; products and tools are expected to expand from $2.8 billion in 2026 to $16.4 billion by 2030." [1]] Fortinet believes that anticipated market expansion reflects evolving industry demand to secure the AI era. Customers already rely on the Fortinet AI-native Security Fabric for integrated protection across networks, endpoints, clouds, applications, and AI deployments. This acquisition complements FortiAIGate and further strengthens Fortinet's AI runtime security capabilities with Virtue AI's automated validation and real-time protection. Combined with coordinated enforcement and FortiGuard Labs threat intelligence, it will give organizations the confidence to secure AI systems throughout their lifecycle. Financial terms of the transaction are not disclosed, and the amount paid by Fortinet as consideration is immaterial to Fortinet's business.

This assumes a diluted share count of 741 million to 745 million. For the fiscal year 2026, Fortinet currently expects: * Revenue in the range of $8.020 billion to $8.180 billion * Service revenue in the range of $5.180 billion to $5.220 billion * Billings in the range of $9.350 billion to $9.550 billion * Non-GAAP gross margin in the range of 79.0% to 81.0% * Non-GAAP operating margin in the range of 35.0% to 37.0% * Diluted non-GAAP net income per share in the range of $3.41 to $3.47, assuming a non-GAAP effective tax rate of 18%.

Refer to the Forward-Looking Statements section below for information on the factors that could cause its actual results to differ materially from these forward-looking statements. Its guidance with respect to non-GAAP financial measures excludes stock-based compensation, amortization of acquired intangible assets, gain on intellectual property matters and a tax adjustment required for an effective tax rate on a non-GAAP basis, which differs from the GAAP effective tax rate. Dubai Diaries has not reconciled its guidance with respect to non-GAAP financial measures to the corresponding GAAP measures because certain items that impact these measures are uncertain or out of its control or cannot be reasonably predicted. Accordingly, a reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to the corresponding GAAP measures is not available without unreasonable effort.
