Fortinet announced new enhancements to its FortiCNAPP platform aimed at helping organizations better understand and prioritize real-world cloud risk as AI and multi-cloud adoption accelerates.
The updated FortiCNAPP expands cloud risk management by integrating network security posture, native Data Security Posture Management (DSPM), and runtime validation into a single unified workflow. By correlating cloud configuration issues, identity exposure, vulnerabilities, network enforcement, data sensitivity, and runtime behavior, Fortinet says security teams can reduce alert overload and focus on the risks with the greatest business impact.
Key additions include network-aware risk scoring that factors in existing protections such as FortiGate firewalls, built-in DSPM to identify and prioritize risks involving sensitive data without moving that data, and runtime-informed prioritization to distinguish theoretical vulnerabilities from actively exploitable threats. The company also highlighted alignment with frameworks such as the NIST AI Risk Management Framework and the EU AI Act, supporting governance alongside technical controls.
Fortinet said the enhancements are designed to address tool sprawl and visibility gaps in hybrid and multi-cloud environments, enabling faster remediation and more effective, context-driven cloud security operations.
