SUNNYVALE, Calif., April 21, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Fortinet\u00ae (NASDAQ: FTNT), the global cybersecurity leader driving the convergence of networking and security, today announced it has received the\u00a02026 Google Cloud Partner of the Year Award for Workload Security. Fortinet is being recognized for its achievements in the Google Cloud ecosystem, helping joint customers secure modern workloads with the Fortinet cloud-native application protection platform (CNAPP) across hybrid and multi-cloud environments while promoting the safe adoption of cloud-native technologies.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Google Cloud Partner Awards honor the strategic innovation and measurable value our partners bring to customers,\u201d said Kevin Ichhpurani, President, Global Partner Ecosystem and Channels, Google Cloud. \u201cWe are proud to name Fortinet a 2026 Google Cloud Partner Award winner, celebrating its role in driving customer success over the last year.\u201d<\/p>\n

FortiCNAPP plays a key role in this recognition. By integrating cloud security posture management (CSPM), workload protection, and runtime threat detection, Fortinet helps organizations enforce consistent security policies across diverse environments and proactively reduce risk. Deep integration with Google Cloud and the Fortinet Security Fabric offers centralized visibility, automated responses, and coordinated security operations throughout the application lifecycle.<\/p>\n

Fortinet takes CNAPP one step further by recently announcing integrations with FortiGate VM, its leading cloud firewall solution, making FortiCNAPP the only solution today that offers network visibility and context to help organizations find threats faster and address risks easier. FortiCNAPP also now offers a unified risk workflow that provides a single prioritized list of cloud risks, assigns owners, and tracks remediation to reduce noise and improve mean time to response (MTTR).<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re honored to be recognized by Google Cloud as a 2026 Partner of the Year for Workload Security,\u201d said Vince Hwang, VP, Cloud Security at Fortinet. \u201cThis award reflects the strength of our platform approach and our continued collaboration with Google Cloud to help organizations secure workloads, reduce complexity, and scale their cloud environments with confidence.\u201d<\/p>\n

Fortinet\u2019s partnership with Google Cloud continues to grow through joint solution development, field enablement, and co-selling efforts. Together, the companies have produced reference architectures, hands-on workshops, and industry-specific security blueprints that help customers speed up cloud adoption while keeping security controls strong.<\/p>\n

These efforts have helped customers succeed across industries, including retail, financial services, and the public sector, while also boosting measurable growth in Google Cloud usage.<\/p>\n

This recognition reinforces Fortinet\u2019s commitment to delivering integrated, enterprise-grade security solutions that align with how modern applications are built, deployed, and operated in the cloud.<\/p>\n
