Detect Cloud Intrusions Faster with Correlated Alerts and Contextual Timelines in FortiCNAPP
Modern cyberattacks targeting cloud environments are increasingly complex and difficult to detect. Attackers often use multi-stage techniques-such as authentication abuse, privilege escalation, command execution, and interaction with cloud-native APIs-to gain and expand access. Each step in this attack chain often mimics legitimate administrative or developer activity, making it extremely difficult to identify malicious intent.
Typical attacker behaviors-such as logging in from a new IP address, accessing previously unused cloud services, or executing command-line processes-can appear indistinguishable from routine actions by developers, admins, or automation. Complicating matters, there is often no single signature, rule, or event that definitively indicates a compromise has occurred.
