Fortinet reveals updates and AWS Marketplace availability

Fortinet has announced updates to Lacework FortiCNAPP, making it easier for customers to secure applications and workloads across hybrid and multi-cloud environments.

The company has also announced that the FortiAppSec Cloud service, FortiMail Workspace Security, FortiNDR Cloud, FortiSIEM and Fortinet Incident Response services are now available in AWS Marketplace.

“Committed to accelerating”

Nirav Shah, Senior Vice President, Products and Solutions, Fortinet commented: “Fortinet is committed to accelerating secure cloud transformation for our customers.

“By making more of our services available in AWS Marketplace and enhancing leading cloud-native solutions like Lacework FortiCNAPP and FortiAppSec Cloud, we’re making it easier than ever for organizations to protect every cloud workload, application and network edge,” he concluded.

Enhanced protection, response and remediation

Fortinet highlights that it has enhanced Lacework FortiCNAPP to deliver stronger protection for cloud-native applications across their entire life cycle.

These updates reinforce FortiCNAPP as a cloud-native security platform designed to deliver faster detection, deeper insights and simplified operations at scale.

• Real-time cloudTrail alerting – Enables near-instant detection of critical activity, such as compromised credentials or anomalous API behavior, by reducing AWS CloudTrail alert latency from 24 hours to under 15 minutes
• Explorer (security graph) – Provides a visual, interactive view of attack paths and asset relationships, making pinpointing and investigating exposures, such as internet-facing vulnerabilities, easier
• Agentless windows scanning – Supports agentless scanning for Windows workloads across any cloud, identifying vulnerabilities and secrets without requiring software deployment. This is ideal for expanding visibility and compliance with minimal overhead
• Fleet management – Delivers detailed visibility across large environments into agent inventory, health and deployment status, helping teams monitor coverage and optimize cloud security

In addition, Fortinet states that it expands its cloud services for web applications and APIs by introducing new service bundles that include Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST), CDN and SoC-as-a-Service, in addition to its AI-powered zero-day threat detection, analysis and remediation to protect web applications and APIs.

Full-Stack Protection Now Available in AWS Marketplace Fortinet has expanded the availability of its cloud security portfolio in AWS Marketplace.

This provides Amazon Web Services (AWS) customers with the ability to streamline the purchase and management of more Fortinet offerings within their AWS Marketplace account.

By deploying solutions on AWS, Fortinet makes it easier for customers to deploy protection, streamline procurement and apply AWS Enterprise Discount Program (EDP) commitments.

AWS Marketplace services

According to the company, services now available in AWS Marketplace include:

• FortiAppSec Cloud – Unified web application and API protection (WAAP) with web application firewall (WAF), bot management, API security and DDoS mitigation
• FortiMail Workspace Security – End-to-end SaaS protection across email, browsers and collaboration tools to stop advanced threats in platforms like Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, Slack and Teams with a built-in, 24×7 managed incident response service to accelerate threat containment and lighten the load on SOC teams
• FortiNDR Cloud – AI-driven threat detection optimized for distributed cloud infrastructure
• FortiSIEM – Scalable log management and incident response for complex environments

Fortinet explains that it has achieved the AWS Security Incident Response Specialization, which recognizes that Fortinet provides a streamlined incident response solution backed by AWS security response experts through AWS Security Incident Response.

The capabilities of Fortinet’s specialized cloud consulting and FortiGuard Incident Response Services teams help AWS customers strengthen their cloud security posture. Fortinet Incident Response Services are now available in AWS Marketplace, offering expert support backed by deep integration with AWS and the Fortinet Security Fabric.

This underscores Fortinet’s commitment to supporting customers with end-to-end security expertise—from proactive risk assessments to prompt incident handling—backed by deep integration with AWS-native tools and FortiGuard threat intelligence.

A shift toward unified cloud-native security

This company notes that this launch reinforces its commitment to simplifying cloud security by consolidating fragmented, non-integrated solutions into a unified cloud security platform.

Rather than relying on isolated point products, Fortinet delivers integrated solutions across application, network and user layers designed to streamline management and scale efficiently in any environment.

Fortinet states that unifying capabilities like WAAP, network detection and response (NDR), security information and event management (SIEM), cloud-native application protection platform (CNAPP) and workspace security under a single vendor and deployment model, organizations gain comprehensive cloud protection along with greater speed, cost-efficiency and operational clarity.

For those with cloud spend commitments and desire to optimize their cloud security investments, particularly in dynamic environments.

Fortinet says that FortiFlex offers a flexible, daily usage-based licensing model that supports rapid deployment, elastic scaling and drawdown of existing cloud commitments, helping organizations protect what they need, when they need it, while only paying for what they use.
