When it comes to partnerships – there seems to be no one who can hold a candle to Fortinet. They are on a literal tear. In June we reported <\/a>they partnered with Windstream, in November, it was Microsoft Azure<\/a>. Last month it was Orange Business Services<\/a> and a few weeks back reported on a big Fortinet win at Ooredoo Kuwait<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Companies are migrating to the cloud at a rapid pace as they do so cybersecurity continues to be a major issue. This is why Fortinet is collaborating with Google Cloud to alleviate these challenges by integrating its cloud security solutions with GCP. Fortinet\u2019s cloud security portfolio is managed by a single management system as part of its Fortinet Security Fabric, providing IT teams with comprehensive visibility and consolidated management across the growing attack surface. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDistributed cloud and on-premises infrastructures introduce new risks to the expanding digital attack surface. This is why it\u2019s especially crucial for organizations to implement consistent security and centralized management across the entire infrastructure. Fortinet provides this through the Fortinet Security Fabric and today we\u2019re announcing extending our Security Fabric\u2019s cloud security offerings to Google Cloud. Through our extended collaboration, we\u2019re providing customers advanced cloud security across regions, office locations and environments.\u201d<\/p> John Maddison, EVP of product and CMO at Fortinet<\/strong> <\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

The tightened integration is comprised of a new reference architecture helping customers connect distributed branches to GCP with Fortinet\u2019s Secure SD-WAN solution and the availability of Fortinet\u2019s FortiWeb Cloud WAF-as-a-Service in the Google Cloud Marketplace. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fortinet will provide the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fortinet has introduced a reference architecture<\/a> for customers to connect facilities to GCP with Fortinet\u2019s Secure SD-WAN<\/a> solution<\/strong>. Fortinet\u2019s Secure SD-WAN approach tightly integrates security and SD-WAN functionality into a single offering. Using this reference architecture, customers can design and build cloud on-ramp solutions for GCP, providing secure high-speed connectivity across Google Anthos deployments on-premise and in GCP, as well as SSL inspection for office connectivity through the Fortinet Secure SD-WAN solution. Fortinet\u2019s Secure SD-WAN solution gives customers enhanced user experience and optimized WAN management across various locations at a lower cost without compromising security.
 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fortinet FortiWeb Cloud WAF-as-a-Service is now available on Google Cloud Platform<\/a>.<\/strong> FortiWeb WAF-as-a-Service offers easy and effective machine learning-enabled security for GCP based web applications and offers advanced zero-day attack protection, as well as easy fine-tuning of security policies and protection of web resources. Customers can now rapidly protect applications through instant activation of Fortinet\u2019s Cloud WAF solution directly from the GCP marketplace. Fortinet already provides the FortiGate Next-Generation Firewall, FortiManager, FortiAnalyzer and FortiWeb products on GCP as part of its cloud security portfolio.
 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fortinet\u2019s FortiCWP will integrate\nwith GCP\u2019s Cloud Security Command Center to provide advanced workload\nprotection and visibility.<\/strong>\nLeveraging Fortinet\u2019s FortiGuard-based threat intelligence, FortiCWP<\/a> will conduct deep analysis of activities and data\nin GCP to enable customer to detect threats or anomalies. This will allow IT\nteams to respond with instant remediation. Google Cloud Security Command Center\nintegration with FortiCWP is expected to be available in early Q1 2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Google Cloud Platform is a member of the Fortinet Fabric-Ready Partner program, a premium category of Fortinet\u2019s technology alliance partnerships and a key part of the Fortinet Security Fabric. In addition, Fortinet joined the Google Cloud Advanced Security Specialization to further collaborate in enabling customers to take advantage of cloud security\u2019s benefits. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe\u2019re delighted to expand our partnership with Fortinet to deliver tightly integrated security solutions to our joint customers. With Fortinet\u2019s new SD-WAN reference architecture and support for Anthos, customers will be able to securely move their data from on-prem to the cloud, between data centers, or to a hybrid environment with the highest levels of security and protection.\u201d<\/p> Manvinder Singh, Director, Partnerships at Google Cloud. <\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

This news has significance in that it shows how important it is to integrate SD-WAN and cybersecurity directly into the cloud. Just as importantly – it continues the trend towards combing cybersecurity and SD-WAN into a holistic solution. This was something we pointed out in November when we reported<\/a> Palo Alto Networks getting into the SD-WAN market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally, it shows the importance of partnership for the sake of interoperability as well as ensuring customers focus less on what works with what and more on running their businesses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
