Sean Weiss on CNAPP, Cloud Security Myths, and Fortinet’s Approach | Vancouver Cloud Summit

After the Vancouver Cloud Summit, Sean Weiss of Fortinet sat down with us to unpack key insights from Fortinet’s session on CNAPP (Cloud-Native Application Protection Platforms) — including why it's critical as more organizations move production workloads fully into the cloud.

Sean explains how CNAPP consolidates tools into a single view, enabling teams to better defend against modern threats like zero-day attacks by analyzing traffic patterns rather than relying on signature detection. He also shares how Fortinet maps attack paths to help teams understand threat origins and trajectories.

Drawing from his background in criminology and cloud security, Sean discusses the most overlooked first step in cybersecurity, common myths, and costly mistakes teams make when securing cloud environments.
