a lot about, Forti AppSec, AppSec Cloud. What is it? Forti AppSec Cloud is Fortinet's application security service, so it's a SaaS-based cloud WAP. It provides WAP, API security, DDoS protection, bot mitigation. Together with application availability and acceleration, so enhanced routing capabilities, acceleration like caching, compression, and really a CDN, a content delivery network. So does this have any impact on where the applications actually reside? Can they be on premise? Do they have to be in the cloud? Can it be a hybrid environment? So it's a SaaS-based solution, so you don't deploy any hardware, any software. Applications can live anywhere, so it could be on public cloud, it could be on-prem. Really it can protect applications anywhere. And is it, because I was talking earlier with some of our colleagues about CNAP, is there any restriction with this solution that it has to be a traditional application versus a cloud native? No, it could be any type of application. It could be a web application or API application. It could be a legacy application. It could be a more modern application. So there's really no restriction in that perspective. So what, I mean, what is the, how should I put it? What is the legacy of this product? Was it something we'd been working on for a while or did we convert? Right, so this really puts together, integrates together all our standalone application security services that we had, 40 web cloud, 40 GSLB, 40 guard, advanced bot protection. It really puts them together in one platform as a single service. So it's really kind of the next generation of our existing standalone application security services. Yeah. All right. Another question, a little bit off the beaten path. For the MSSP partner, how could they leverage this to add to their own portfolio? Yeah, so MSSP, there's an MSSP solution for it as well, so they can resell licenses to their customers. They can also manage it for their customers as well, and onboard applications directly go through the customer. So it's, yeah, it's definitely an MSSP style solution. All right. Well, outstanding. Brought to you live from the Tech Expo at Fortinet Accelerate 25. If you missed out, watch for Accelerate InFocus, coming to your region later this quarter.

TL;DR

  • FortiAppSec Cloud is a SaaS-based platform combining WAF, API security, DDoS protection, bot mitigation, and CDN capabilities in a single service.
  • The solution protects applications anywhere—on-premises, public cloud, or hybrid—without requiring hardware or software deployment.
  • FortiAppSec Cloud consolidates Fortinet's standalone application security products (FortiWeb Cloud, FortiGSLB, FortiGuard, Advanced Bot Protection) into one unified platform.

Summary

This Tech Expo segment from Fortinet Accelerate 2025 introduces FortiAppSec Cloud, Fortinet's consolidated SaaS-based application security platform. Idan Soen, VP of Product Management, explains how the service combines web application firewall (WAF), API security, DDoS protection, and bot mitigation with application delivery capabilities including CDN, caching, and compression. The solution protects applications regardless of where they reside—on-premises, public cloud, or hybrid environments—without requiring hardware or software deployment. Soen clarifies that FortiAppSec Cloud represents the integration of Fortinet's previously standalone application security services (FortiWeb Cloud, FortiGSLB, FortiGuard, and Advanced Bot Protection) into a unified platform. The segment also addresses MSSP opportunities, noting that partners can resell licenses and manage the service on behalf of their customers, making it suitable for managed security service delivery.
