Lacework FortiCNAPP: A Comprehensive Platform To Secure Everything From Code To Cloud

As cloud environments become more complex, partners are facing growing security challenges. Fortinet’s FortiCNAPP is designed to address these issues by bringing everything into one platform, helping partners streamline their security efforts and better protect their clients.

“Cloud and hybrid cloud really have introduced a ton of new complexity that companies really aren’t used to today,” said Aaron Kornhauser, senior director of global partner solutions engineering at Fortinet. “You have new fast development life cycles. You have ephemeral, very, very short-lived resources, not to mention compounding that with the skill gap, evolving threats and really complex application dependencies. What FortiCNAPP does is really aim to remove security as being seen as a blocker and more as an enabler for organizations.”

One of FortiCNAPP’s biggest differentiators is its advanced threat detection, which uses machine learning to identify threats in fast-moving cloud environments that traditional security solutions can’t handle.

“We needed to apply machine learning to understand things that rules just couldn’t be written for in very, very fast-moving cloud environments,” Kornhauser said. “So, the threat detection piece and how we do threat detection, not only at the workload level but the cloud activity plane across all platforms and cloud environments, is one of our biggest differentiators.”

This advanced detection helps partners deliver better protection to their clients, even in constantly shifting environments.

FortiCNAPP isn’t just about improving security—it’s also about helping partners grow their businesses. By leveraging the platform, partners can offer managed services and collaborate with Fortinet to co-build, co-market and co-sell solutions.

“We work with all different providers, and that’s cloud service providers, channel partners, system integrators, as well as different MSSPs,” Kornhauser said. “We have a lot of partners that go out and leverage the FortiCNAPP platform to help these customers migrate in the cloud, adopting new services and really embedding security from the beginning because it’s much easier to embed security from the onset than retrofitting afterwards.”

FortiCNAPP gives partners the tools to simplify security, enhance threat detection, and grow their businesses—all while meeting the demands of today’s complex cloud environments.
