It is always best when the good guys find zero-day vulnerabilities before the bad guys. That way we have time to fix the flaw before bad actors discover it and start exploitation.
FortiGuard Labs has a dedicated team of expert researchers and analysts that examine many third-party products and software applications, looking for weakness and exploitable vulnerabilities. Following responsible disclosure, Fortinet works with the affected vendor to address the vulnerability to satisfaction, only announcing the details when a patch is made public.
Since the program began, the team has discovered 775 zero day vulnerabilities. They have found 131 this year alone.
This programs is another example of where Fortinet is committed to protecting the ecosystem.
