Fortinet has announced the general availability of Lacework FortiCNAPP, a single, unified AI-driven platform for securing everything from code to the cloud, all from a single vendor.
“Lacework FortiCNAPP is based on Lacework's proven cloud-native application protection platform with tight integration with Fortinet Security Fabric,” said John Madison, Fortinet's chief marketing officer. “We are excited to expand our cloud-native security offerings and provide the industry's most comprehensive and complete cloud security platform that enables teams to seamlessly eliminate risks across their multi-cloud environments.”
Introducing Lacework FortiCNAPP provides additional benefits beyond Lacework's leading offerings, such as automated remediation and blocking of active runtime threats, as well as improved visibility into FortiGuard Outbreak Alerts, which provide essential information about new and emerging threats and the risks they pose within an organization's environment.
Challenges disrupting cloud adoption
As customers continue to adopt cloud infrastructure and services, they are quickly realizing that traditional security tools simply lack the on-premises capabilities required to address the scale, speed, and dynamic nature of the cloud. Security teams face key challenges due to the lack of time to address cloud security at scale due to limited knowledge of cloud security, the proliferation of cloud security products that do little to help customers resolve issues, and the overwhelming number of security and compliance alerts.
With Lacework FortiCNAPP, Fortinet simplifies and enhances cloud security with a unified platform from a single vendor that brings together multiple tools to dramatically reduce the time to detect, prioritize, investigate and respond to cloud-native threats. Lacework FortiCNAPP offers a unique approach to AI that never stops learning, maximizing cloud security with minimal time and effort for development, operations and security teams by automatically connecting risk insights to threat data at runtime, ensuring the most critical issues are prioritized and addressed.
Fortinet allows customers to meet all their cloud security needs by offering key features such as:
Unified platform: Fragmented tools provide complex, expensive, and limited protection. As a platform, Lacework FortiCNAPP provides complete visibility from code to the cloud and connects enterprise and operational risk and threat data to prioritize what matters most.
AI-based anomaly detection: Because cloud threats evolve as quickly as the cloud itself, creating rules for every potential attack scenario is nearly impossible. Lacework FortiCNAPP's AI-based anomaly detection allows security analysts to detect previously unidentified attack patterns that traditional rules-based systems cannot achieve.
Integrated code security: Integrated code security with cloud security enables teams to address issues at the earliest, most cost-effective stage of the application lifecycle. By offering code security as an integrated capability within the platform, customers can save time and money by fixing security issues and reducing the risk of vulnerable applications and infrastructure while keeping developers productive and agile in innovation.
Composite Alerts: Lacework FortiCNAPP is unique in detecting early signs of active attacks by automatically correlating different signals into one high-confidence composite alert. The platform uses behavioral analytics, anomaly detection, insider threat intelligence, and insights from cloud provider activity logs and threat services to identify active attacks, including compromised credentials, ransomware, and cryptojacking.
Integration with Fortinet Security Fabric: Integration with Fortinet solutions like FortiSOAR allows customers to simplify their response to active runtime threats, such as compromised hosts and compromised access keys, with automated remediation playbooks. Additionally, its integration with FortiGuard Outbreak Alerts helps teams understand how Lacework FortiCNAPP provides enhanced visibility and deeper insights into the latest threats and where the solution can disrupt potential attacks.
Cloud Infrastructure Entitlements Management (CIEM): Lacework FortiCNAPP CIEM provides complete visibility into cloud identities and their permissions. It automatically detects identities, evaluates effective network permissions, and highlights redundant permissions by comparing permissions granted versus permissions used. Each identity is assigned a risk score based on more than 30 factors, which helps prioritize high-risk identities. Lacework FortiCNAPP also provides automated processing instructions for properly sized permissions, ensuring least privileged access.
