Fortinet has recently announced major improvements to its cloud-native application protection platform, FortiCNAPP, which aims to enable organizations to better understand and prioritize actual cloud risks by correlating various security signals into a single risk context. The new solution now combines network security posture, native data security posture management (DSPM), and runtime validation with cloud configuration, identity exposure, and vulnerabilities in a single workflow, allowing security teams to concentrate on what matters most to them rather than being bogged down by various alerts from separate security tools. According to Fortinet, as organizations expand across hybrid and multi-cloud environments, tool sprawl and visibility gaps have become major barriers to effective cloud security, and the enhanced FortiCNAPP addresses this by adding protection where it matters most across network, data and runtime layers of cloud environments ensuring that risk evaluations account for existing network enforcement and data sensitivity, and elevating issues with the greatest potential business impact.

Nirav Shah, Senior Vice President, Products and Solutions at Fortinet, said, “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. By unifying network enforcement, data sensitivity, and runtime validation within FortiCNAPP, we’re enabling customers move from alert overload to clear, prioritised action based real-world exposure and business impact.” In addition to improved network-aware risk scoring and in-place data risk visibility that supports privacy and data governance, the solution consolidates insights from cloud posture, infrastructure entitlement, vulnerabilities and runtime behaviour into a single view that helps accelerate remediation and improve decision-making. Users like Huy Ly, Head of Global IT Security & Infrastructure at Monolithic Power Systems, report that the platform “gives us clear visibility into our cloud environment… even without deep, hands-on cloud expertise,” acting as a continuous auditor to assess cloud infrastructure health and reduce risk across operations.
