“The addition of Lacework aligns with Fortinet’s commitment to protect our customers with innovative solutions that provide consistent security across on-premises and cloud environments,” said Ken Xie, Founder, Chairman of the Board, and CEO at Fortinet. “Integrating Lacework’s organically developed cloud-native platform with the Fortinet Security Fabric will result in the most comprehensive, full-stack AI-driven cloud security platform available from a single vendor.”
