Fortinet acquired Virtue AI, which tests and protects AI models, chat apps and autonomous agents. The deal takes Fortinet's FortiAIGate product beyond guarding LLM traffic into AI development, testing and runtime protection. ([GlobeNewswire release via Finviz](https://finviz.com/news/382844/fortinet-advances-continuous-ai-protection-with-the-acquisition-of-virtue-ai?ref=enterprisey.com); [SecurityWeek](https://www.securityweek.com/fortinet-acquires-ai-security-company-virtue-ai/?ref=enterprisey.com))

Fortinet said the price was immaterial to its business. Virtue AI's tools include red-teaming for agents, real-time guardrails, scanning of MCP tools and code, and detection of unsanctioned AI apps; it raised $30M in seed and Series A funding in 2025\.
