Fortinet expands AWS Marketplace suite to boost cloud security

Fortinet has introduced updates to Lacework FortiCNAPP and expanded the availability of several security solutions in the AWS Marketplace, aimed at improving cloud security for organisations operating across hybrid and multi-cloud environments.

The latest releases are intended to make it easier for customers to protect their applications, workloads, and data as businesses accelerate their adoption of cloud technologies. Fortinet's expanded presence in AWS Marketplace extends options for procurement and management of its products for Amazon Web Services (AWS) users.

Enhanced protection features

Fortinet's enhancements to Lacework FortiCNAPP offer reinforced security for cloud-native applications throughout their development and operational lifecycles. Key improvements include real-time CloudTrail alerting, which can now detect critical activities such as compromised credentials or anomalous API behaviour much more quickly by reducing AWS CloudTrail alert latency from 24 hours to under 15 minutes.

Other new features include an Explorer (Security Graph) tool, which allows for an interactive visualisation of attack paths and asset relationships, making it more straightforward to identify and investigate threats such as internet-facing vulnerabilities. FortiCNAPP also now supports agentless scanning for Windows workloads across any cloud environment, enabling vulnerability and secret detection without the need to install software. Additional fleet management capabilities provide greater visibility over large-scale deployments including inventory, health, and coverage.

Product bundles newly available include options with Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST), content delivery network (CDN) functionality, and Security Operations Centre as a Service (SoC-as-a-Service), alongside AI-powered zero-day threat detection and remediation. These elements are designed to improve web application and API security.

Expanded AWS Marketplace portfolio

The company has increased the number of its solutions accessible via AWS Marketplace, allowing customers to acquire and manage Fortinet offerings within their existing cloud procurement workflows and apply AWS Enterprise Discount Program (EDP) commitments. Among the services that are now available are FortiAppSec Cloud, which provides unified web application and API protection (WAAP), FortiMail Workspace Security, which delivers protection across platforms like Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace, FortiNDR Cloud for AI-based threat detection, and FortiSIEM for scalable incident response.

Fortinet Incident Response Services have also been added to AWS Marketplace. The services are designed to deliver expert support for AWS customers, integrating with both AWS-native tools and FortiGuard threat intelligence to support a comprehensive approach to incident management and response.

Fortinet has achieved the AWS Security Incident Response Specialisation, which recognises the company's ability to deliver streamlined incident response solutions that are supported by AWS security response experts. This reflects Fortinet's strategic emphasis on offering end-to-end security expertise managed through a single vendor and deployment model.

"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 organisations to protect every cloud workload, application, and network edge."

That statement was provided by Nirav Shah, Senior Vice President, Products and Solutions, Fortinet.

All-in-one approach

These launches are part of Fortinet's strategic data to help organisations reduce reliance on isolated point products by offering integrated security capabilities across application, network, and user layers. Consolidating various services—including WAAP, network detection and response (NDR), security information and event management (SIEM), cloud-native application protection platform (CNAPP), and workspace security—aims to give businesses full-stack protection with simplified management, better scalability, and reduced cost.

For customers with significant cloud spend commitments seeking investment optimisation, Fortinet's FortiFlex licensing model provides a flexible, daily usage-based approach, supporting rapid deployment and elastic scaling, and allowing customers to only pay for the services that they use.

The Fortinet Security Fabric and consulting teams offer proactive risk assessment and incident response, aiming to help AWS customers strengthen their security postures as cloud usage continues to grow.
