Fortinet Continues To Expand Generative AI Across Its Portfolio With Two New Additions To Simplify Security Operations

Invesco has unveiled a new series of thematic exchange-traded funds (ETFs) that focus on artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, and defense sectors. These funds aim to leverage emerging trends within these industries.
What Happened: The newly introduced ETFs, named Invesco Artificial Intelligence Enablers, Cybersecurity, and Defence Innovation Ucits, are based on benchmarks crafted by Kensho, a division of S&amp;P Global Indices. Kensho utilizes natural language processing to pinpoint companies with significant involvement in each theme, categorizing them into &#8220;core&#8221; and &#8220;non-core&#8221; groups, Financial Times<a href="https://www.ft.com/content/476d3e81-cbd2-4484-8fb5-4a074dcaa97c"> reported</a> on Thursday.
As per Invesco, core companies generate a substantial portion of their revenue from products and services aligned with these themes, while non-core companies provide essential inputs without focusing on end products. The AI enablers strategy targets firms advancing AI technology and infrastructure, whereas the cybersecurity ETF invests in companies protecting enterprises from unauthorized electronic access. The defense fund provides exposure to companies developing advanced weapons and defensive systems

Investors should consider whether these past results could repeat if Harris is elected and begins her presidential term in 2025. Energy isn't often thought of as a segment that could do well under a Democratic president, but past results show that the sector could do well, at least in the first year.
Coincidentally, energy was cited as a potential poor sector if Trump wins the 2024 election based on the 2017 results. What likely happened in 2017, and what could happen again, is a run-up in stocks during the election year and a potential selloff in the year after as investors take profits.
With less than one week until the 2024 election, investors are likely positioning their portfolio based on a Trump or&nbsp;Harris&nbsp;victory in some regards. With a close election predicted, investors may want to look to sectors that could benefit under either candidate.
Freedom Capital Markets&nbsp;Chief Global Strategist&nbsp;Jay Woods&nbsp;previously<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs/sector-etfs/24/08/40515453/exclusive-trump-or-harris-12-stocks-2-etfs-could-win-no-matter-whos-president-says-market-strate" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">&nbsp;shared some sectors&nbsp;</a>and stocks to watch with Benzinga that could benefit regardless of whether Trump or Harris wins the 2024 election.
Woods named defense stocks and cybersecurity stocks as two of the top sectors to watch ahead of the 2024 election.
&#8220;I think you&#8217;ve got to watch this sector closely,&#8221; Woods said of the defense sector.
Woods added that defense stocks could continue to benefit from geopolitical concerns and the world's many adverse events.

<a href="https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/fortinet-warns-of-new-critical-fortimanager-flaw-used-in-zero-day-attacks/">https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/fortinet-warns-of-new-critical-fortimanager-flaw-used-in-zero-day-attacks/</a>
Fortinet publicly disclosed today a critical&nbsp;FortiManager API vulnerability, tracked as CVE-2024-47575,&nbsp;that was exploited in zero-day attacks to steal sensitive files containing configurations, IP addresses, and credentials for managed devices.
The company privately warned FortiManager customers about the flaw starting October 13th in advanced notification emails seen by BleepingComputer that contained steps to mitigate the flaw until a security update was released.
However, news of the vulnerability began leaking online&nbsp;throughout the week by customers on <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/fortinet/comments/1g6vspq/why_was_fortimanager_728_released/">Reddit</a> and by cybersecurity researcher <a href="https://infosec.exchange/@GossiTheDog@cyberplace.social/113299763212821881">Kevin Beaumont</a> on Mastodon, who calls this flaw "FortiJump."
Fortinet device admins have also shared that this flaw has been exploited for a while, with a customer reporting being attacked weeks before the notifications were sent to customers.
"We got breached on this one weeks before it hit "advance notifications" - 0-day I guess," reads a now-deleted comment on Reddit.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Barclays Reaffirms Their Hold Rating on Fortinet (FTNT)

The demand for cybersecurity solutions is rising as digital threats and sophisticated cyberattacks continue to escalate. Therefore, it might be wise to keep track of cybersecurity stocks, CrowdStrike (CRWD), Palo Alto Networks (PANW), and Fortinet (FTNT), as they offer innovative solutions presenting further growth opportunities. Continue reading... With the world becoming more evolved through technological advancements, the demand for cybersecurity solutions is also surging. These cyberattacks have become frequent, making protecting sensitive information a more critical priority than ever.
Given this landscape, investors looking to tap into this dynamic sector might consider watching cybersecurity stocks such as CrowdStrike Holdings, Inc. (<a href="https://stocknews.com/stock/CRWD/">CRWD</a>), Palo Alto Networks, Inc. (<a href="https://stocknews.com/stock/PANW/">PANW</a>), and Fortinet, Inc. (<a href="https://stocknews.com/stock/FTNT/">FTNT</a>). These companies adopt advanced AI tools to automate threat detection and enhance their defense systems.
Companies and governments invest heavily in protecting sensitive information from data breaches and ransomware incidents. For fiscal year 2025, <a href="https://industrialcyber.co/critical-infrastructure/us-federal-budget-for-fy-2025-boosts-cybersecurity-investments-amid-escalating-threats/">the U.S. government has proposed $13 billion</a> in funding across civilian departments and agencies, including an enhanced budget of $3 billion for the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), a $103 million increase from the previous year.
Moreover, cyberattacks have only increased this year, with 41% of small businesses experiencing a cyber threat. The region most affected by ransomware attacks is the United States, which <a href="https://www.embroker.com/blog/cyber-attack-statistics/">accounts for 59% of them</a>. This has led to a surge in cybersecurity solutions as strengthening defenses has become more crucial than ever.
Therefore, the global cybersecurity market is expected to <a href="https://www.fortunebusinessinsights.com/industry-reports/cyber-security-market-101165">reach $562.72 by 2032</a>, exhibiting a CAGR of 14.3%.
Cybersecurity firms are developing solutions to protect mobile devices, IoT systems, and enterprise networks from advanced threats, making this industry attractive for long-term investors.
