Introducing FortiAppSec Cloud

Web applications are the heart of business operations. They connect businesses to customers, power transactions, and drive innovation. But with this dependency comes challenges. Cyberthreats targeting web applications and APIs are becoming more sophisticated, and organizations are struggling to keep up with the growing number of point solutions and potential threats.

The rise of hybrid and multi-cloud environments adds another layer of complexity, so it's harder than ever to protect applications while ensuring they perform seamlessly. That's where FortiAppSec Cloud comes in. This new platform from Fortinet simplifies application security and delivery and addresses the growing need for robust, scalable, and easy-to-manage solutions.

Too Many Tools, Too Little Time

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.

Often, businesses end up with inconsistent management practices and resource inefficiencies that hinder security and performance. With security teams stretched thin, and slower, less reliable application experiences impacting users, it's clear that it's time for a consolidated security approach that simplifies operation and security without sacrificing quality or performance.

Why Choose Between Security and Delivery?

Conventional, standalone security solutions often force organizations to make trade-offs. You might get decent protection but at the expense of speed or reliability. Meanwhile, native cloud load balancers can handle traffic but aren't equipped to handle sophisticated attacks. The result? Businesses cobble together a mix of tools and hope they work together, only to face scalability issues and gaps in protection.

Organizations need a solution that can keep up with modern threats and combines advanced security with seamless delivery to meet user expectations and business goals.

FortiAppSec Cloud Offers Simplicity and Performance

FortiAppSec Cloud redefines what application security can do. As a unified platform of services, it integrates web and API security, advanced bot defense, global server load balancing, and distributed denial-of-service protection into a single, user-friendly solution. The consolidated visibility and ability to centrally manage and respond will ease the burden on customers in securing their applications across multi-clouds.

By leveraging AI-powered analytics, FortiAppSec Cloud goes beyond traditional detection methods. It identifies anomalies, inspects payloads, and distinguishes between legitimate users and potential threats with precision. These features mean organizations have fewer false positives, faster responses, and stronger protection against even the most adaptive cyberattacks.
