What is FortiCNAPP?
FortiCNAPP is an enterprise Cloud-Native Application Protection Platforms solution that unifies security posture management, developer code scanning, cloud identity governance, and runtime threat detection into a single management console. Integrated into the Fortinet Security Fabric, the platform connects static configuration risk insights with active runtime telemetry across multi-cloud environments, including Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud Platform (GCP).
Key Capabilities
- Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM): Continuously audits cloud resource configurations, evaluates compliance against regulatory frameworks (such as PCI DSS, HIPAA, SOC 2, and ISO 27001), and identifies cloud misconfigurations.
- Cloud Infrastructure Entitlement Management (CIEM): Discovers user, role, and service accounts across multi-cloud infrastructure, calculates net-effective permissions, and provides automated remediation guidance for least-privilege access enforcement.
- Cloud Detection and Response (CDR) & Anomaly Detection: Applies behavioral analysis algorithms to cloud audit logs, host telemetry, and container activity to identify runtime threats—including compromised credentials, ransomware, and cryptojacking—without manual rule maintenance.
- Shift-Left Application & Code Security: Scans first-party code via Static Application Security Testing (SAST), identifies open-source vulnerabilities via Software Composition Analysis (SCA), generates Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) inventories, and audits Infrastructure as Code (IaC) templates prior to deployment.
- Kubernetes & Container Security: Audits Kubernetes (K8s) cluster configurations and monitors containerized workloads for abnormal process behaviors or unauthorized access attempts.
- Fortinet Security Fabric Integration: Shares contextual threat telemetry with enterprise security operations tools, enabling automated incident response playbooks via FortiSOAR to isolate compromised hosts or revoke access keys.
Audience & Use Cases
- Audience: Chief Information Security Officers (CISOs), Cloud Security Engineers, DevSecOps Leads, and Security Operations Center (SecOps) Analysts.
- Use Case: Centralizing cloud risk visibility across multi-cloud infrastructure, automating compliance audit preparation, prioritizing posture vulnerabilities based on active exploitability, and detecting runtime workload intrusions.
Technical Specifications
- Deployment Model: Cloud (SaaS), supporting agentless API scanning and lightweight agent options
- Supported Cloud Providers: AWS, Microsoft Azure, GCP, and Kubernetes clusters
- Code & Pipeline Scanning: IaC (Terraform, CloudFormation), SCA, SAST, SBOM tracking
- Platform Integrations: Fortinet Security Fabric, FortiSOAR, FortiGuard Outbreak Alerts, Jira, Slack, and enterprise SIEM platforms
Acquisition Legacy and Origin
FortiCNAPP represents the evolution of Fortinet's cloud security portfolio following its acquisition of Lacework in August 2024. Formerly marketed as Lacework FortiCNAPP, the platform incorporates Lacework's foundational polygraph behavioral analysis engine and multi-cloud anomaly detection capabilities. By integrating Lacework's agentless and agent-based telemetry into the Fortinet Security Fabric, Fortinet transitioned its cloud security stack from point-solution monitoring to an integrated, code-to-cloud security platform.
