Fortinet was recognized for its achievements in the Google Cloud ecosystem, helping joint customers fortify their identity and endpoint protection with the seamless integration of FortiEDR with Google Cloud's Security Command Center. This groundbreaking collaboration enables businesses to efficiently audit and correlate threat detection and prevention incidents associated with Google Cloud assets, providing unmatched defense against cyber threats.

This is a huge win for you and your clients. The integration of FortiEDR with Google Cloud's Security Command Center allows you to easily monitor and analyze threat detection and prevention events associated with Google Cloud Assets. This means you can offer clients unparalleled endpoint and identity protection, as well as a proactive defense against cyber threats that span across cloud infrastructures. 

In addition, the connection between FortiEDR and Google Cloud's Security Command Center provides immediate insight and improved identification of potential dangers by associating security incidents to recognize and manage advanced threats. This strengthens XDR efficiency by automating the identification and resolution of dangers throughout the security network.

Fortinet's FortiEDR solution has been gaining popularity globally, thanks to its consistent release of new features and updates that improve threat hunting, expand security capabilities and advance XDR, especially for cloud-connected environments.
