Fortinet added security integrations with Amazon Web Services (AWS) including its virtual firewall FortiGate-VM and web application firewall FortiWeb to boost workload protection across hybrid environments.
Additionally, by integrating these services natively with AWS, customers have visibility and centralized management across both on-premises data center workloads and applications running in cloud environments, the vendor says.
Under one of the new services for AWS, Fortinet Managed IPS Rules Powered by FortiGuard Labs, Fortinet provides managed IPS rulesets using threat intelligence from FortiGuard Labs for the recently launched AWS Network Firewall. Through this integration, organizations can use Fortinet managed IPS rules to centrally set policies across all of their Amazon Virtual Private Clouds (VPCs) and accounts. Customers can also import rules and integrate FortiGuard Labs’ threat intelligence with AWS Network Firewall as an additional layer of protection.
And with the new FortiGate-VM firewall integration with AWS Gateway Load Balancer, which helps protect and scale internet bound traffic and inter-VPC network traffic, Fortinet provides high performance IPSec VPN, SSL VPN, and security features including intrusion prevention and detection services (IDPS), deep packet inspection (DPI), URL filtering, anti-malware protection, and granular segmentation.
Additionally, Fortinet offers new consulting services for AWS customers in the AWS Marketplace. This provides a blueprint for designing and implementing advanced security across their cloud platform, network, and applications on AWS. It also offers security assessments of AWS deployments to improve security posture and remediate existing misconfigurations.
The new integrations build on Fortinet’s existing collaboration with AWS, which includes natively integrated security for AWS services including Amazon GuardDuty, AWS CloudFormation, and AWS Outposts.
Fortinet earned the coveted market leader ranking in Gartner’s latest Magic Quadrant for Network Firewalls report published earlier this month.
