FortiGate CNF on AWS

Also during AWS re:Invent, Fortinet announced the availability of FortiGate Cloud-Native Firewall (FortiGate CNF) on AWS. It’s an enterprise-grade, managed next-generation firewall (NGFW) service specifically designed for AWS environments.

FortiGate CNF incorporates FortiGuard artificial intelligence (AI)-powered security services for real-time detection of and protection against malicious external and internal threats. It’s underpinned by FortiOS for a consistent network security experience across AWS and on-premises environments.

By shifting the management of network security infrastructure to Fortinet via FortiGate CNF, customers can focus more on their core competencies and deploying effective security policies to protect their business-critical applications and data.

Dave Ward is AWS’s general manager of application networking.

“We know organizations are looking to further simplify and modernize security on the cloud, which is why we’re working with Fortinet to deliver adaptive cloud security solutions,” he said. “With FortiGate CNF, customers can build confidently, boost agility, and take advantage of everything AWS has to offer. As a fully managed cloud-native service, FortiGate CNF provides the enterprise-level firewall services and network security that helps reduce risk and improve compliance, and optimizes customers’ security investments. We’re looking forward to continuing our work with Fortinet to help our mutual customers accelerate their cloud security goals.”
