Organizations are increasingly deploying a variety of workloads across multiple clouds. In turn, business-critical data and services are increasingly scattered across this distributed infrastructure. Using the shared responsibility model as a guiding principle, enterprises rely on cloud providers to protect the network, storage, and computing layers, while enterprises own the security for everything that is built, deployed, or stored in the public cloud.

Fortinet’s cloud security solutions and products enable secure workloads through tight integration with all major public cloud providers to ensure privacy and confidentiality while leveraging the benefits of scalability, metering, and time to market.

Enhance your understanding of these common cybersecurity concerns in an exclusive video from Enterprise Strategy Group (ESG). Speakers include:

• Doug Cahill, VP and Director of Cybersecurity at ESG.
• Jonathan Nguyen-Duy, VP And Field CISO at Fortinet.

Gaining Consistency Across Disparate Environments

The composition of cloud-native applications is a mix of APIs, containers, VMs, and serverless functions continuously integrated and delivered. Securing these applications, the underlying infrastructure, and the automation platforms that orchestrate their deployment, necessitates revisiting threat models, gaining organizational alignment, and leveraging purposeful controls. Additionally, as security and DevOps continue to converge, cloud security controls are being consolidated. Project teams are evolving from a siloed approach to a unified strategy to securing cloud-native applications and platforms.

In order to gain insight into these trends, Enterprise Strategy Group (ESG) surveyed 383 IT and cybersecurity professionals at organizations in North America (US and Canada) personally responsible for evaluating or purchasing cloud security technology products and services.

An increasing number of organizations are adopting a cloud-first policy, expedited via the use of cloud-native applications and services. However, Enterprise Strategy Group (ESG) research has found that 88% of respondents believe that their cybersecurity programs need to evolve to secure their cloud-native applications and use of public cloud infrastructure. When it comes to the biggest cloud-native application security challenges, respondents cited maintaining security consistently across their data centers and public cloud environments (47%), increasing cost and complexity using multiple cybersecurity controls (40%), lacking understanding of the threat model for cloud-native applications and infrastructure (31%), and lacking visibility into public cloud infrastructure (30%).

This ESG Technical White Paper documents the evaluation of Fortinet on Google Cloud. ESG examined how Fortinet delivers integrated and consistent network, application, and cloud security for workloads deployed on Google Cloud.

As organizations increase their use of public cloud, they continue to reap the benefits of business agility, flexibility, and scalability. Yet, consistently maintaining an organization's security posture across its on-premises and public cloud environments can be difficult and cumbersome. This is especially challenging as traffic moves across core and edge networks and the public cloud.

As Enterprise Strategy Group (ESG) research has uncovered, respondents have major concerns with securing cloud-native applications running in hybrid clouds and multi-cloud environments, and many are already experiencing security breaches as a result.
