“Fortinet AWS” is not a single SKU; it is a portfolio of Fortinet cloud security products deployed on and for Amazon Web Services (AWS). In practice, buyers typically mean one (or more) of the following:
- **FortiGate-VM on AWS**: a virtual next-generation firewall (NGFW) deployed in EC2 to provide network security controls (L3–L7 policy, IPS, TLS inspection, VPN, segmentation) for VPCs and hybrid connectivity.
- **FortiGate Cloud-Native Firewall (CNF)**: a managed firewall service built for AWS that integrates with AWS-native constructs like Gateway Load Balancer (GWLB) and AWS Firewall Manager.
- **Fortinet Managed Rules for AWS WAF / API Gateway**: managed rule groups sold through AWS Marketplace for AWS WAF to protect web/API traffic.
- **FortiCNAPP (Lacework FortiCNAPP)**: CNAPP capabilities (CSPM/CWPP/CIEM/KSPM and related) used to secure AWS (and multi-cloud) workloads.
Fortinet positions the AWS portfolio around consistent controls across hybrid and multi-cloud environments, shared threat intelligence via FortiGuard Labs, and centralized operations (centralized management interface).
