Wiz and Fortinet Partner to Automate Cloud Exposure Protection
Summary
Wiz and Fortinet announced an integration that uses Wiz’s cloud exposure insights to help Fortinet detect, prioritize, and automatically block or allow traffic to cloud virtual machines.
Key points
- Wiz joined Fortinet’s Fabric-Ready Technology Alliance Partner Program, and Fortinet joined Wiz’s Integration Program.
- The integration sends Wiz Issues and Cloud Events to Fortinet Security Fabric for automated enforcement through FortiGate-VM and FortiGate CNF.
- Wiz can identify publicly exposed virtual machines and validate them with its Dynamic Scanner; FortiGate can then block internet traffic as remediation.
- The companies say customers can prioritize exposures using context such as a known vulnerability and access to sensitive data.
- Wiz says its threat detection rules can identify suspicious behavior related to exposure and trigger automated traffic blocking.
