FortinetOffers On-Demand FirewallsforAWS

FortiWeb-VM Secures Web Applications meetscompliance requirements and enhances licensing for security-as-a-service offering

FortiWeb-VM for AWS can now be utilized seamlessly on an hourly or annual subscription basis, complementing existing Bring Your Own License (BYOL) options. When procured via AWS Marketplace for on-demand delivery and integrated metering, billing, and payments, AWS customers can now consume“security-as-a-service” in the same simple and elastic manneras they would with the AWS infrastructure itself. A significant benefit of the new on-demand, pay-as-you-go model is scaling the solution to meet immediate needs, while still offering predictable cost models. The new AWS Marketplace annual subscription options potentially allow CAPEX savings of up to 40 percent when compared to hourly pricing over the same 12 month period.

“We are excited to have FortiWeb-VM for AWS available via annual and hourly subscription on AWS Marketplace,” said Terry Hanold, Vice President, Cloud Commerce, Amazon Web Services, Inc. “Customers can now easily and quickly purchase FortiWeb-VM on AWS Marketplace to help provide additional layers of protection for their workloads running on AWS.”

FortiWeb-VM at-a-Glance

FortiWeb-VM provides multiple protection layers against today’s threats that target Web applications, including cross-site scripting, SQL injection, buffer overflows, file inclusion, cookie poisoning, schema poisoning, denial of service (at both the application and network layer) and many others.

FortiWeb-VM protects against OWASP Top 10 Web application vulnerabilities, and the software’s IP reputation service helps protect against automated Web attacks by identifying botnet activity and other suspicious activities happening on a network.

Unlike other virtual Web application firewalls, FortiWeb-VM automatically and dynamically profiles user activity to create a baseline of permissible activity. Its real-time data analysis capabilities provide an analytics interface that helps organizations understand their Web application usage and maps requests to their geographic location.

“Today’s FortiWeb-VM announcement further extends both Fortinet’sbroad cloud computing portfolio and the company’s commitment to protecting customer Web applications on the AWS platform,” said Rajesh Maurya, Country Manager, India& SAARC for Fortinet. “Customers have been asking for a more cost-flexible, cloud-based protection solution, and we’re pleased to report it’s available now.”
