November 23, 2025Fortinet Strengthens AWS Network Security with AI-Driven IPS Rule Enhancements
Fortinet is proud to be an official launch partner for third-party rules for AWS Network Firewall, with Fortinet Managed IPS Rules, enhanced by FortiGuard AI-Powered Security Services. This new offering enhances AWS Network Firewall with automated, continuously updated intrusion prevention, enabling customers to stay ahead of emerging threats without adding complexity or management overhead.
As organizations expand their workloads on AWS, the need for seamless, scalable, and automated protection has never been greater. Fortinet’s new managed IPS service delivers precisely that—an intelligence-driven layer of defense that keeps pace with the dynamic nature of cloud environments.
I-Powered Defense, Delivered Natively on AWS
At the core of this new capability is FortiGuard Labs, Fortinet’s global threat intelligence and research organization. Using advanced AI and machine learning analytics, FortiGuard Labs actively identifies new exploits, malware variants, and command-and-control activity across billions of daily events. These insights are then automatically translated into updated IPS rules, which are continuously pushed to AWS Network Firewall customers using Fortinet’s managed service.
This means that security teams no longer need to manually tune or maintain intrusion prevention policies. Instead, they gain immediate access to enterprise-grade protection that evolves in real time, reducing operational effort while increasing the accuracy and timeliness of detections.
Simplified Protection, Maximum Impact
With Fortinet Managed IPS Rules, AWS users can:
- Enforce policies effortlessly: Build and maintain policies with automated rule updates designed to mitigate threats as they appear.
- Stay ahead of attacks: Continuous, AI-driven intelligence from FortiGuard Labs ensures protection against the latest vulnerabilities and exploits.
- Support compliance goals: Inline IPS capabilities help align with AWS best practices and standards such as PCI-DSS, while maintaining consistent visibility across workloads.
Deployment takes just minutes through AWS Marketplace, providing organizations with a fast, straightforward way to elevate their cloud defenses. Once enabled, the managed IPS rules integrate natively with AWS Network Firewall, maintaining advanced protection without disrupting existing workflows or architecture.
A Foundation for Converged Cloud Security
The addition of Fortinet Managed IPS Rules reflects a broader strategy: simplifying and converging security operations across hybrid and multi-cloud environments. Fortinet’s unified approach—anchored by FortiOS and powered by FortiGuard AI—helps organizations protect applications, users, and data from code to cloud.
For AWS users, this integration represents a critical step toward building a resilient, adaptive cloud security posture that requires minimal manual intervention. Whether safeguarding web applications, APIs, or internal workloads, Fortinet delivers protection that scales as quickly as the cloud itself.
