Comprehensive Cloud Security Across All Major Platforms

The migration to cloud has fundamentally changed the security equation. Traditional perimeter-based security tools were not designed for the elastic, distributed nature of cloud infrastructure. Fortinet's cloud security portfolio addresses this challenge with natively integrated solutions that protect workloads, applications, data, and users across AWS, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud Platform, and private clouds.

FortiCNAPP — Cloud-Native Application Protection

FortiCNAPP is the industry's most comprehensive cloud-native application protection platform, combining CSPM (Cloud Security Posture Management), CWPP (Cloud Workload Protection Platform), CIEM (Cloud Infrastructure Entitlement Management), and CDR (Cloud Detection and Response) in a single unified agent. FortiCNAPP provides continuous visibility from developer code commit to runtime production workloads — catching misconfigurations, vulnerabilities, and anomalous behavior before they become breaches.

FortiGate VM — Virtual NGFW for Cloud

FortiGate VM brings the full FortiGate security stack to cloud environments as a virtual appliance. Available in AWS Marketplace, Azure Marketplace, and Google Cloud Marketplace, FortiGate VM provides the same enterprise-grade security policies, FortiGuard threat intelligence, and centralized management as physical FortiGate appliances — deployed in minutes and scaled automatically.

Zero Trust for Cloud-Hosted Applications

FortiZTNA and FortiSASE extend zero-trust principles to cloud-hosted applications. Every access request is verified based on user identity, device health, and context — replacing legacy VPN with granular, application-level access controls that work transparently for end users regardless of their location.

Cloud Security FAQ

Does Fortinet support multi-cloud environments?: Yes. Fortinet's Security Fabric spans all major cloud platforms — AWS, Azure, GCP, Oracle Cloud, and Alibaba Cloud — with consistent policy management through FortiManager. API-based integrations ensure native support for each platform's networking constructs.
What is CSPM and why do I need it?: Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM) continuously monitors your cloud configurations against security benchmarks and compliance frameworks (CIS, PCI DSS, HIPAA, SOC 2). Misconfigurations are the leading cause of cloud breaches — CSPM catches them before attackers do.
How does Fortinet protect Kubernetes workloads?: FortiCNAPP includes dedicated Kubernetes security capabilities: container image scanning, runtime threat detection, network policy enforcement, and RBAC misconfiguration detection across EKS, AKS, GKE, and self-managed clusters.
