December 16, 2025, 9:50 AM EST. Fortinet is teaming with NVIDIA to run FortiGate VM on NVIDIA BlueField-3 DPUs, embedding firewalling, segmentation, and zero-trust policy enforcement directly into the infrastructure. The integration moves core security functions off the host onto the DPU, delivering isolated infrastructure acceleration for AI factories, private cloud, and edge workloads without slowing GPU workloads. FortiOS-powered FortiGate VM provides multi-cloud security, centralized visibility, and policy consistency. NVIDIA describes this as extending infrastructure-offloaded services to security, enabling line-rate firewalling and segmentation at scale. The collaboration aims to simplify operations, reduce latency, and strengthen isolation in AI-powered data centers. Executives highlight performance aligned with AI modernization and the ability to secure high-throughput environments while preserving critical workloads.
