With the growing adoption of the cloud, modern applications are now hosted on hybrid and multicloud infrastructures. This evolution brings its share of security challenges, particularly against sophisticated cyber threats such as zero-day attacks, malicious bots, or exploits targeting APIs.
In this context, FortiAppSec Cloud positions itself as an essential solution for securing cloud applications, regardless of the environment (AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, or multicloud). This comprehensive guide explores the challenges of application security in 2025 and explains why FortiAppSec Cloud is the right response to today's challenges.
Why is cloud application security a major issue in 2025?
Cloud applications are today at the heart of business operations, but they also represent a prime target for cybercriminals. Here are the main challenges to address:
- The complexity of multicloud environments: The dispersion of applications across multiple clouds increases the risk of security breaches.
- Evolving threats: Zero-day attacks, automated bots, and API exploits require real-time detection.
- Regulatory compliance: Regulations such as GDPR or the NIS2 directive impose strict data protection requirements.
- Centralised management: IT teams need unified visibility to effectively secure their applications.
Faced with these challenges, traditional solutions such as classic firewalls are no longer sufficient. This is where FortiAppSec Cloud comes into play.
