Fortinet has unveiled a comprehensive overhaul of its FortiCNAPP platform, positioning the cybersecurity giant to compete more aggressively in the rapidly consolidating cloud-native application protection market. The enhancements, which integrate cloud security posture management with advanced data protection capabilities, represent a strategic pivot toward unified security platforms as enterprises grapple with increasingly complex multi-cloud environments.

While carbon dioxide dominates climate change discussions, a category of industrial chemicals called hydrofluorocarbons—or HFCs—presents one of the most achievable opportunities to slow global warming in the near term. These super-pollutants, commonly used in air conditioning and refrigeration systems, trap thousands of times more heat than CO2 over their atmospheric lifetime. Yet they remain largely unknown to the general public, even as international agreements to phase them out could prevent up to 0.5 degrees Celsius of warming by century’s end.

The rapid adoption of multi-cloud strategies has created a dangerous paradox for enterprise security teams: as organizations spread their digital infrastructure across an average of three or more cloud platforms, their ability to detect and respond to threats in real-time has deteriorated significantly.

For several months, a peculiar technical anomaly plagued Microsoft’s cloud infrastructure, silently redirecting portions of the tech giant’s network traffic to an obscure Japanese company. The issue, which Microsoft has now resolved, offers a rare glimpse into the fragile architecture underlying modern internet routing and raises questions about how such fundamental errors can persist undetected in systems managed by one of the world’s most sophisticated technology companies.
