Key Principles and Strategies for Securing the Enterprise Cloud — The Fortinet Cloud Security Blueprint

Customers are turning to the cloud to reduce capital expenses and increase agility as part of their digital innovation (DI) initiatives. Despite the benefits, cloud migration results in business critical data and services being scattered across clouds and data centers. This leads to an expanded attack surface and a corresponding increase in security risk.

Some organizations are unknowingly stumbling into a new security paradigm—the shared responsibility model, a model that is built on the assumption that the cloud infrastructure will be secured by cloud providers, while security for services used in the cloud are the responsibility of the organization.

The Fortinet Security Fabric was purpose-built to close these cloud-driven security gaps through native integration with public cloud infrastructures, a broad set of security services and products, and cross-cloud security management, automation, and analytics.
