Lacework FortiCNAPP, a single, integrated, AI-powered platform to safeguard everything from code to the cloud, according to Fortinet is now generally available. “Lacework FortiCNAPP is based on Lacework’s proven cloud-native application protection platform with tight integration with the Fortinet Security Fabric,” said John Maddison, Chief Marketing Officer at Fortinet. “We’re pleased to expand our cloud-native security offerings and provide the industry’s most comprehensive, full-stack cloud security platform that empowers teams to seamlessly eliminate risk across their multi-cloud environments.”
Beyond Lacework’s flagship product, the launch of Lacework FortiCNAPP offers extra advantages like automated remediation and blocking of active runtime threats and improved visibility into FortiGuard Outbreak Alerts, which offer crucial details about new and emerging threats and the risk they pose to an organisation’s environment.
Challenges disrupting cloud adoption
Customers are rapidly realising that traditional security products just do not have the innate capabilities needed to handle the scale, velocity, and dynamic nature of the cloud as they continue to adopt cloud infrastructure and services. Lack of time to handle cloud security at scale, a profusion of cloud security technologies that don’t assist customers in fixing problems, and an excessive volume of security and compliance alerts provide basic challenges for security teams.
Fortinet helps accelerate customers’ cloud journeys.
Fortinet streamlines and fortifies cloud security with Lacework FortiCNAPP, a single vendor’s unified platform that combines several tools to drastically reduce the time needed to identify, rank, look into, and address cloud-native threats. By automatically connecting risk insights with runtime threat data, Lacework FortiCNAPP offers a novel AI approach that never stops learning, optimising cloud security with the least amount of time and effort required from development, operations, and security teams. It also makes sure that the most important issues are prioritised and resolved.
Fortinet enables customers to address all their cloud security needs by delivering key features such as:
- A unified platform: Complex, costly, and insufficient protection is produced by fragmented instruments. In order to prioritise the most important information, Lacework FortiCNAPP as a platform correlates build and runtime risk and threat data and offers complete visibility from code to cloud.
- AI-based anomaly detection: It is practically impossible to create rules for every possible attack scenario since cloud threats change as quickly as the cloud itself. Security analysts can identify previously unknown attack patterns with Lacework FortiCNAPP’s AI-based anomaly detection, something that conventional rules-based systems are unable to do.
- Integrated code security: Teams may resolve problems at the earliest and most economical point in the application life cycle when code security and cloud security are combined. Offering code security as a built-in feature of the platform allows users to decrease the risk of vulnerable applications and infrastructure while preserving developer productivity and innovation velocity. They may also save time and money by resolving security issues.
- Composite alerts: By automatically combining many signals into a single, highly reliable composite alarm, Lacework FortiCNAPP is exceptional at spotting early indicators of ongoing attacks. To find active assaults, such as ransomware, cryptojacking, and compromised credentials, the platform employs behavioural analytics, anomaly detection, in-house threat intelligence, and insights from cloud service provider activity logs and threat services.
- Integrations with the Fortinet security fabric: Through automated remediation playbooks, companies may expedite their reaction to active runtime threats, such as compromised hosts and compromised access keys, thanks to integrations with Fortinet products like FortiSOAR. Furthermore, teams can better grasp how Lacework FortiCNAPP provides improved visibility and deeper insights into the most recent threats and where the solution may thwart possible assaults thanks to its interaction with FortiGuard Outbreak Alerts.
- Cloud infrastructure entitlement management (CIEM): For total insight into cloud identities and their rights, Lacework FortiCNAPP offers CIEM. By comparing given and used permissions, it automatically finds identities, evaluates net-effective permissions, and identifies excessive ones. High-risk identities are prioritised by assigning a risk score to each identity based on over 30 parameters. In order to ensure least-privileged access, Lacework FortiCNAPP additionally provides automated remediation help for right-sizing permissions.
Third-party validation
Leading research organisations such as Frost and Sullivan, Gartner®, GigaOm, and KuppingerCole have continuously identified Lacework as a leader and representative vendor in CNAPP and cloud workload security, and this technology serves as the foundation for Lacework FortiCNAPP.
