Top 5
Anti-defacement feature intelligently handles complete website backup
Pros and Cons
  • "Security Fabric integration. This is really a value-added feature as FortiWeb can interact with the rest of the client’s Fortinet pack to provide an intelligent security layer like (FortiSIEM for central log management and correlation, FortiGate, FortiSandbox for malware analysis, etc.)."
  • "FortiWeb does not exist in a cloud-based form. Its only available for deployment as a virtual appliance on AWS and Azure IaaS platforms. Because of the trend to WAF environments, it would be good to have it as a SaaS. Also, FortiWeb would be more competitive if it combined WAF and DDoS protection."

What is our primary use case?

We are a system integrator so we propose FortiWeb to our clients who are looking to protect their public web applications like e-banking platforms, teleservice, and so on.

How has it helped my organization?

A customer said to us that before FortiWeb they regularly had to back up their whole website folder to prevent defacement and ransomware. Now, with the FortiWeb Anti-defacement feature, this process is handled more intelligently, as FortiWeb does it for them.

What is most valuable?

Security Fabric integration. This is really a value-added feature as FortiWeb can interact with the rest of the client’s Fortinet pack to provide an intelligent security layer like (FortiSIEM for central log management and correlation, FortiGate, FortiSandbox for malware analysis, etc.).

What needs improvement?

FortiWeb does not exist in a cloud-based form. Its only available for deployment as a virtual appliance on AWS and Azure IaaS platforms. Because of the trend to WAF environments, it would be good to have it as a SaaS. Also, FortiWeb would be more competitive if it combined WAF and DDoS protection.

For how long have I used the solution?

One to three years.

What other advice do I have?

I rate FortiWeb at eight out of 10 because it is good at what it does but I think it could do more, like combining DDoS protection.
