Digital Transformation is driving heterogeneous cloud adoption within enterprises, including private cloud, public cloud and hybrid cloud.
More than 75% of medium and large companies will have to adopt some multicloud or hybrid IT strategy in 2021
However, traditional approaches to application security cannot keep up with constantly changing multicloud environments, creating vulnerabilities and uncertainty about their use in cloud-native applications.
With migration to the cloud, companies often end up using the native resources that the provider offers. This type of scenario compromises security management, since resources, policies and controls are different according to the standards of each cloud provider.
However, as applications become more distributed and integrated with cloud services, security systems are increasingly fragile and insufficient.
In the current scenario, many companies are not sure which team or professional should be responsible for managing cloud security. Recent research shows that there are a wide variety of teams managing these environments.
The lack of a clear definition on the part of companies regarding the responsibility for security management can cause compliance problems and generate vulnerabilities that put applications hosted in the public cloud at risk.
Fortinet enables customers to secure their cloud-based infrastructures and applications through flexible cloud provider-independent deployment models.
These solutions allow companies to maintain full compliance in the cloud, meeting standards and regulations, delivering visibility across the entire environment and responding to attacks proactively.
Fortinet's cloud security solutions, bundled with Columbia's services, provide the necessary visibility and control across cloud infrastructures, enabling secure applications and connectivity from the data center to the cloud.
In this way, they offer broad protection across the entire digital attack surface, both on-premises and in public clouds.
Native integration with each major cloud provider also enables automated, centralized management of all clouds in a uniform and seamless manner.
It provides unified visibility and control, and policy management that supports risk management and compliance requirements.
Fortinet Cloud Security addresses customer components such as data and applications, operating systems, access and identity management, encryption, APIs, and network traffic. This complements the public cloud provider's security capabilities to provide complete, compliant protection.
Cloud firewall solutions and products enable secure workloads through tight integration with all major public cloud providers.
In this way, they guarantee privacy and confidentiality, taking advantage of the benefits of scalability, measurement and time to market.
FortiGate-VM is a full-featured FortiGate packaged as a virtual appliance. It is ideal for monitoring and controlling virtual traffic on leading virtualization, cloud, and SDN platforms, including VMware vSphere, Hyper-V, Xen, KVM, and AWS.
FortiGate-VM can be orchestrated in software-defined environments to provide agile and elastic network security services for virtual workloads.
Integration with leading hypervisors and private cloud solutions enables the automated insertion and organization of private cloud security across all software-defined data centers, as well as enriching API scalability.
FortiMail can be used to protect sensitive data of all types, reducing the risk of inadvertent loss and/or non-compliance with regulations such as HIPAA, PCI, GDPR and others.
FortiMail appliances ensure high-performance routing and security for emails using multiple high-precision anti-spam filters. This feature includes real-time antivirus and antispyware protection from FortiGuard, without causing system delays.
Fortinet's Web Application Firewall (WAF) protects your business-critical web applications from attacks targeting known and unknown vulnerabilities.
FortiWeb takes a comprehensive web application protection approach that includes IP reputation, DDoS protection, protocol validation, application attack signatures, bot mitigation, and more.
FortiWeb's machine learning automatically creates and maintains a model of normal user behavior and uses that model to identify benign and malicious application traffic, without the time-consuming manual application learning required by most WAFs.
Companies taking a multi-cloud approach can benefit from a software-defined wide area networking (SD-WAN) solution. It provides a programmable, consistent, and cost-effective framework designed specifically for multi-cloud deployments.
SD-WAN solutions leverage enterprise WAN and multi-cloud connectivity to deliver high-speed performance for applications at the branch WAN edge.
One of the key benefits of SD-WAN is that it offers dynamic path selection between MPLS, 4G/5G or broadband connectivity options. In this way, it allows organizations to quickly and simply access business-critical cloud applications.
FortiCWP provides security administrators and DevOps teams with the ability to assess their cloud configuration security posture, detect potential threats arising from misconfiguration of cloud resources, analyze traffic between cloud resources (inside and outside the cloud) and evaluate your cloud configuration against best practices.
FortiCWP risk management allows security teams to focus on high-priority issues and take quick remediation actions, in addition to data security that provides configuration assessments and analyzes documents within cloud storage repositories.
Traffic analysis and investigation ensures visibility across all cloud resources to identify and monitor application traffic, while threat detection and response provides continuous threat monitoring across the entire security infrastructure
