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. “Cloud security teams aren’t struggling because they lack data. They’re struggling because growing complexity, limited resources, and skills gaps make it harder to manage risk across cloud environments,” said Nirav Shah, Senior Vice President, Products and Solutions at Fortinet. “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.” 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. According to the Fortinet 2026 Cloud Security Report, nearly 70% of organizations cite tool sprawl and visibility gaps as the top barriers to effective cloud security. 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. Factoring Network Security Posture into Cloud Workload RiskFortiCNAPP 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...
