Fortinet, a global cybersecurity leader, is offering new enhancements to FortiCNAPP that help organizations better understand and prioritize cloud risk.
By correlating cloud configuration, identity exposure, vulnerabilities, network enforcement, data sensitivity, and runtime behavior in a single workflow, FortiCNAPP enables security teams to focus on the risks that matter most, according to the company.
“By unifying network enforcement, data sensitivity, and runtime validation within FortiCNAPP, we’re enabling customers move from alert overload to clear, prioritized action based real-world exposure and business impact,” said Nirav Shah, senior vice president, products and solutions at Fortinet.
As organizations expand across hybrid and multi-cloud environments, security teams are often forced to piece together risk signals from disconnected tools, resulting in fragmented visibility and slower response. FortiCNAPP addresses this challenge by adding protection where it matters most for cloud security teams—across the network, data, and runtime layers of cloud environments, the company said.
FortiCNAPP incorporates network-level protection context directly into risk evaluation, providing a more accurate picture of real exposure that many CNAPP solutions lack.
- Network-aware risk scoring: FortiCNAPP detects FortiGate solutions deployed along the internet-accessible path to cloud workloads and incorporates that protection directly into workload risk assessments, ensuring exposure is evaluated in the context of existing network enforcement.
- Reduced false urgency: Persistent protection context provides a more realistic view of risk and enables security and network teams to operate from a shared, consistent understanding of exposure.
FortiCNAPP enhances risk prioritization by directly incorporating data sensitivity and exposure, without requiring customers to move or export their data.
- In-place data risk visibility: Built-in DSPM identifies sensitive data, access patterns, and potential malware, while supporting privacy and data governance requirements.
- Business impact-driven prioritization: Risks affecting sensitive data are automatically elevated, helping teams focus remediation efforts on issues with the greatest potential impact.
FortiCNAPP simplifies cloud risk operations by consolidating often siloed security signals into a single, actionable workflow, the company said, providing:
- Unified risk management: Insights from cloud posture, infrastructure entitlement, vulnerabilities, DSPM, and network security posture into a single view.
- Runtime-informed prioritization: Validation of vulnerable code paths helps teams distinguish theoretical findings from active, exploitable risk.
- Faster remediation: Correlated context around configuration issues, identity exposure, vulnerabilities, network reachability, data sensitivity, and runtime behavior enables faster response with fewer tools.
With these enhancements, FortiCNAPP helps organizations reduce noise, improve decision-making, and align security efforts with actual exposure and available resources, the vendor said.
Organizations are using FortiCNAPP to simplify cloud security operations and gain clearer visibility into risk across complex cloud environments by unifying network, data, and runtime context within a single platform.
