If a company has an enterprise firewall, what should they do to secure their cloud environment?

Purchasing Fortinet's Cloud Security solution is a strategic approach for securing a cloud environment, especially when a company already has an enterprise firewall. This solution is specifically designed to extend the security capabilities of Fortinet's extensive firewall technology to the cloud infrastructure, ensuring comprehensive protection across both on-premise and cloud environments.

The integration of Fortinet’s Cloud Security solutions provides features such as advanced threat protection, secure access, and visibility into cloud resources, all while maintaining consistent security policies across hybrid environments. This specialization in cloud security allows organizations to address vulnerabilities inherent in cloud architectures more effectively than traditional on-premise firewalls alone.

In contrast to the other options, relying solely on local network security measures would not address the unique challenges posed by cloud environments. Upgrading an existing on-premise firewall might enhance security for local networks, but without tailored cloud security strategies, it wouldn't sufficiently protect cloud assets. Utilizing open-source security solutions can be risky due to potential lack of support and updates, which may lead to vulnerabilities that a dedicated security solution from a reputable vendor, like Fortinet, would mitigate.
