Fortinet has announced the virtual machine version of its FortiWeb Web application firewall is now available on Amazon Web Services (AWS).
“FortiWeb-VM provides AWS customers the best of both worlds,” said Chris Rodriguez, senior network security industry analyst with Frost and Sullivan. “The tremendous flexibility and stability of AWS, combined with Fortinet’s advanced security capabilities, is a winning combination for customers migrating strategic Web applications to the cloud.”
With FortiWeb-VM, customers can deploy virtual Web application firewalls running on AWS in conjunction with other FortiGate security technologies running on their own internal network, all from a single, centralized management platform. This allows them to easily extend the power and flexibility of Fortinet security technologies to the AWS Cloud.
“Security is paramount at AWS and we work hard to ensure our partner ecosystem includes the strongest players in enterprise security,” said Terry Wise, head of worldwide partner ecosystem, Amazon Web Services. “In the cloud, security is a shared responsibility and therefore our customers look to deploy the same best-of-breed security solutions that they utilize on premise. We are excited to see Fortinet bring FortiWeb-VM to AWS.”
