Fortinet has melded some of its previously available services into an integrated cloud package aimed at helping customers secure applications.
The new service, FortiAppSec Cloud, brings web and API security, server load balancing, and threat analytics under a single console that enterprise customers can use to more efficiently manage their distributed application environments, according to Vincent Hwang, vice president of cloud security at Fortinet.
“Managing application security across multiple environments isn’t easy because each cloud platform, tool, and service introduces new layers of complexity. With applications spread across diverse environments, misconfigurations and shadow APIs can easily slip through the cracks, creating difficult-to-find vulnerabilities. Add evolving threats like AI-powered bot attacks and zero-day exploits, and the stakes couldn’t be higher,” Hwang wrote in a blog about the new service.
