Fortinet Acquires Lacework – Joins CNI’s Line Card of CNAPP Vendors

As a Fortinet Advanced Partner, CNI Sales is excited to announce Fortinet’s acquisition of Lacework and the introduction of Lacework FortiCNAPP to our lineup. Fortinet, a global cybersecurity leader driving the convergence of networking and security, has strengthened its capabilities in the fast-growing cloud security market through this acquisition.

Lacework FortiCNAPP (Cloud Native Application Protection Platform) is an indispensable solution for securing multi-cloud and hybrid cloud infrastructures. With the increasing complexity and scale of cloud environments, CNAPP solutions have become essential to guard against misconfigurations, vulnerabilities, and emerging threats. Traditional security tools often fall short in the highly dynamic environments of today’s cloud platforms, especially in multi-cloud or containerized contexts, where attacks on public cloud providers like AWS, Google Cloud, and Microsoft Azure are increasing. Securing these environments effectively and efficiently is now an absolute requirement, and Lacework FortiCNAPP is here to help.

This recent acquisition combines Lacework’s leading cloud-native application protection platform with the Fortinet Security Fabric to deliver unmatched visibility and protection across multi-cloud environments.

Frederick Howard, Senior Director at Fortinet, summarizes the benefits of Lacework FortiCNAPP. “This solution unifies fragmented and siloed tools into a single platform to simplify and strengthen cloud security. It empowers customer teams to maximize their impact on security with minimal time and effort by automatically connecting risk insights with runtime threat data, ensuring they prioritize and address the most critical security risks and active threats.”

With Lacework FortiCNAPP, users can automatically discover, monitor, and inventory all assets across your multi-cloud environments. This all-in-one platform simplifies complex tasks like tracking configuration changes, identifying vulnerabilities, and detecting threats. It also provides a consolidated view to all team members who might not otherwise have access to consoles from your cloud providers.

Industries subject to strict regulations will especially benefit from Lacework FortiCNAPP’s continuous compliance monitoring, which helps maintain adherence to standards like SOC2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, HITRUST, and PCI. Daily scans identify any concerning changes, helping teams stay on top of regulatory requirements in real-time.

Adding Lacework FortiCNAPP to the CNI Sales Line Card strengthens our ability to deliver top-tier cloud security solutions tailored to our customers’ needs. Contact us today to learn more or to set up a complimentary consultation.
