Fortinet delivers virtual security appliance through AWS

Network security developer Fortinet has announced that the company’s flagship FortiGate security platform is now available on Amazon Web Services (AWS) through the AWS Marketplace.

FortiGate-VM is currently available in the AWS Marketplace. FortiGate-VM delivers a number of security controls including bi-directional stateful firewalling, intrusion prevention and VPN within their virtual private cloud (VPC).

FortiGate virtual appliances and virtual domains enable the deployment of consolidated network security to protect virtual infrastructure and increase visibility and control over communications within virtualised and multi-tenant cloud environments, particularly in scenarios where it is not feasible to deploy dedicated hardware. They can scale quickly to meet demand and protect intra-virtual machine communications by implementing critical security controls.

FortiGate-VM virtual appliances feature all of the security and networking services common to traditional hardware-based FortiGate appliances, including government certifications.
