Fortinet Expands Fabric-Ready Program with Amazon Web Services

Fortinet has announced that Amazon Web Services (AWS) has joined the Fortinet Fabric-Ready Partner Program, and the companies are expanding their collaboration to deliver new cybersecurity solutions on AWS.

Fortinet solutions that integrate with AWS include endpoint, network, web and email security, as well as cloud sandboxing, SIEM and log analytics. Customers or channel partners can control the technologies, download updates, and renew licenses from a single security management console.

As part of the Fabric-Ready Partner Program, AWS and Fortinet will focus on technology integration with the Security Fabric, share best practices regarding interoperability, and collaborate for the benefit of customers.

“Cloud infrastructure has become a critical element of enterprise networks today, as it allows organizations to scale and innovate with on-demand resources,” said John Maddison, senior vice president of Products and Solutions at Fortinet. “Enabling visibility and centralized control is crucial to protect enterprise applications as they move across multi-cloud networks, from hybrid architecture to cloud environments. With AWS joining the Fortinet Fabric-Ready Partner Program, we are building on our existing relationship to enable cloud security that arms our joint customers with integrated, flexible and secure access to the cloud.”

“By collaborating with Fortinet, we give our customers an additional option when selecting their security solutions,” said David Wright, general manager of Worldwide Strategic Technology Partners at AWS. “Our customers can now benefit from a robust set of integrated security capabilities built around open APIs for infrastructure flexibility, control, and end-to-end visibility.”

Fortinet also announced an extension of its cloud security applications portfolio in AWS to include FortiSandbox and FortiSIEM on the AWS Marketplace.
