Fortinet Expands Cloud Security Portfolio on AWS Marketplace

Fortinet has expanded the availability of its security solutions on AWS Marketplace, making it easier for enterprises to deploy, manage, and scale cloud-native protection. The expanded catalog includes new software-as-a-service (SaaS) offerings, such as FortiAppSec Cloud, FortiMail Workspace Security, and FortiNDR Cloud, now accessible directly via AWS Marketplace with support for AWS Enterprise Discount Program (EDP) commitments.

This expansion aims to streamline procurement processes and unify the management of Fortinet’s security products across hybrid and multi-cloud environments, providing benefits for SAP customers. This includes those deploying SAP S/4HANA on AWS or expanding SAP Business Technology Platform (BTP) workloads. These solutions address key issues related to speed, cost efficiency, and operational transparency.

Addressing the Full Stack

Newly listed services reflect Fortinet’s growing cloud-native footprint:

• FortiAppSec Cloud offers comprehensive web application and API protection, including a firewall, bot management, DDoS mitigation, and AI-powered zero-day threat detection. These offerings are crucial for organizations exposing SAP Fiori applications or BTP APIs to the public internet.
• FortiMail Workspace Security offers end-to-end SaaS email and collaboration security for platforms like Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace, which is particularly relevant for SAP customers who rely on integrated communication flows for workflow approvals and alerts.
• FortiNDR Cloud and FortiSIEM bolster cloud-based detection and response for complex, distributed environments, providing AI-powered visibility into logs and threat activity across SAP landscapes.

Fortinet has also achieved the AWS Security Incident Response Specialization, affirming its deep integration with AWS-native tools and FortiGuard intelligence to help customers respond quickly to threats. These capabilities are especially relevant for SAP customers navigating multi-account or multi-region AWS deployments, where cloud security maturity and consistent policy enforcement can significantly impact enterprise resilience.

Lacework FortiCNAPP Gets Smarter

In parallel with its expansion of AWS Marketplace, Fortinet has announced significant updates to Lacework FortiCNAPP, its Cloud-Native Application Protection Platform. Key enhancements include:

• Sub-15-minute CloudTrail alerting, which accelerates detection of threats like compromised SAP service credentials.
• A visual Security Graph Explorer to trace attack paths and identify vulnerable cloud assets.
• Agentless scanning for Windows workloads, enabling SAP teams to secure legacy or lift-and-shift deployments without friction.
• Improved fleet management tools that help security teams monitor agent coverage across environments.

Fortinet also introduced bundled services combining Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST), CDN support, and Security Operations Center-as-a-Service (SOC-as-a-Service), offering enterprise ERP customers a one-stop shop for app-layer defense.

What This Means for SAPinsiders

Cloud-native security tools simplify SAP cloud compliance and reduce operational costs. Fortinet’s expanded availability on AWS Marketplace provides SAP customers with easier access to proven security tools that integrate seamlessly with AWS-native services. This allows SAP technology teams to procure and deploy Fortinet solutions quickly, benefit from EDP discounts, and meet internal audit and risk management requirements. For enterprises using SAP S/4HANA or SAP BTP in public cloud environments, this can lessen procurement obstacles and speed up the return on security investments.

Security vendor consolidation will become a strategic priority for SAP cloud users. Enterprises in regulated sectors such as healthcare, finance, and manufacturing have already seen measurable ROI by reducing security tool sprawl and centralizing monitoring through platforms like FortiSIEM and FortiAnalyzer. In SAP environments where incident response time, compliance traceability, and API protection are critical, Fortinet’s offerings provide both depth and breadth. According to Fortinet, case studies show that organizations using these offerings together decrease alert fatigue, speed up incident resolution, and improve audit readiness.

SAP-aligned cloud security will shape competitive agility over the next three to five years. As cloud-native ERP becomes standard, SAP leaders should assess tools not just for security strength but also for ease of integration, compliance, and scalability. Fortinet’s native compatibility with AWS services, such as CloudTrail and IAM, along with its support for SAP Fiori, BTP extensions, and hybrid network topologies, makes it a strong option. With a cloud-native approach, SAP customers can confidently modernize their security posture while reducing operational risk.
