- Demo Overview
- AI Generated
Adam Larson demonstrates Fortinet CNAP (formerly Lacework), which divides cloud security into risk assessment and threat detection. The risk side identifies vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, and identity issues across cloud and Kubernetes environments, with features like compliance framework mapping and attack path visualization. The threat side combines known bad indicators with behavioral anomaly detection through "polygraph" technology that baselines normal behavior and alerts on deviations. Key differentiators include code security with smart fix recommendations for optimal version upgrades and composite alerts that combine multiple signals for high-confidence threat detection.
- FortiCNAPP Is A Great Fit For:
Organizations needing integrated security across cloud and on-premises environments. Perfect for enterprises with complex multi-cloud deployments requiring unified visibility. Ideal for security teams leveraging automation to reduce manual effort. Great for organizations with limited security resources needing effective protection, and businesses consolidating security tools. Especially valuable for regulated industries balancing compliance with operational efficiency.
