How TigerGate Works

TigerGate unifies cloud security, code scanning, and runtime monitoring in one platform—no need to manage multiple Fortinet products

1. Code & Container Scanning

Full SAST, SCA, secrets detection, IaC scanning, and container security. Fortinet lacks comprehensive code security capabilities.

2. Cloud Security (CSPM)

576+ CIS benchmark checks across AWS, GCP, Azure, and Kubernetes with automated remediation. More comprehensive than FortiCNP.

3. eBPF Runtime Protection

Modern eBPF-based runtime monitoring with kernel-level visibility. More advanced than Fortinet's agent-based approach.

The TigerGate Advantage

Fortinet requires multiple products (FortiCNP, FortiCWP, FortiWeb, etc.) that don't integrate seamlessly. TigerGate provides everything in one unified platform with consistent UX and comprehensive coverage.

  • One unified platform vs 10+ Fortinet products
  • Modern eBPF runtime vs legacy agent-based monitoring
  • Superior code security (SAST, SCA, secrets)
  • Transparent pricing and easy deployment

Why Teams Choose TigerGate Over Fortinet

Get modern cloud-native security in one unified platform vs managing multiple disjointed Fortinet products

Unified Platform

One platform for all security needs vs managing FortiCNP, FortiCWP, FortiWeb, FortiSIEM, and more. Consistent UX and integrated workflows.

Fortinet: 10+ products to manage

Superior Code Security

Comprehensive SAST, SCA, secrets scanning, IaC analysis, and DAST. Fortinet lacks robust code security capabilities.

Fortinet: Limited code security

Modern eBPF Runtime

Kernel-level visibility with eBPF for real-time threat detection and zero-day protection. More advanced than Fortinet's legacy agents.

Fortinet: Agent-based monitoring

Comprehensive CSPM

576+ CIS benchmark checks across all major clouds with automated remediation. More comprehensive than FortiCNP's limited coverage.

Fortinet: Limited CSPM coverage

Transparent Pricing

Clear, predictable pricing starting at $499/month. No hidden costs or complex licensing like Fortinet's enterprise model.

Fortinet: Complex enterprise licensing

Easy Deployment

Deploy in minutes with simple configuration. Self-hosted or cloud options. Easier than deploying and integrating multiple Fortinet products.

Fortinet: Complex multi-product setup
"We were overwhelmed managing multiple Fortinet products—FortiCNP for cloud, FortiSIEM for logging, and FortiWeb for application security. TigerGate consolidated everything into one platform with better code security and modern eBPF runtime protection. Setup took hours instead of weeks, and our security team is much more productive."

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about choosing TigerGate over Fortinet

TigerGate provides a unified platform with 576+ CIS benchmark checks, comprehensive CSPM, and cloud-native architecture. Fortinet requires managing multiple products (FortiCNP, FortiCWP) with limited integration and less comprehensive coverage. TigerGate is purpose-built for cloud-native environments while Fortinet evolved from network security.
Fortinet's "Security Fabric" requires deploying and managing 10+ separate products (FortiCNP, FortiWeb, FortiSIEM, etc.) with complex licensing and integration challenges. TigerGate provides everything in one unified platform with consistent UX, easier deployment, and better code security capabilities.
Yes. TigerGate includes comprehensive SAST, SCA, secrets scanning, IaC analysis, DAST, and API security testing. Fortinet lacks robust code security capabilities and focuses primarily on network and cloud infrastructure security.
TigerGate uses modern eBPF technology for kernel-level visibility with minimal overhead (<3% CPU). Fortinet uses legacy agent-based monitoring with higher resource consumption. eBPF provides superior visibility into runtime behavior, zero-day detection, and supply chain attack prevention.
Yes. TigerGate can be deployed in hours with simple configuration. Fortinet requires deploying multiple products, configuring integration between them, and managing complex licensing—typically taking weeks. TigerGate offers both SaaS and self-hosted options with straightforward setup.
Yes. TigerGate can replace FortiCNP (cloud security), FortiCWP (workload protection), FortiWeb (application security), and portions of FortiSIEM (compliance logging) with one unified platform. You get better integration, consistent UX, and comprehensive code security that Fortinet lacks.
TigerGate offers transparent pricing starting at $499/month with no hidden costs. Fortinet uses complex enterprise licensing with per-device, per-user, and per-service pricing across multiple products, making total cost unpredictable. TigerGate is typically 5-10x more cost-effective for similar coverage.
Yes. TigerGate supports SOC 2, ISO 27001, PCI-DSS, HIPAA, GDPR, and more. We provide automated compliance evidence collection and integration with Vanta and Drata. Fortinet supports similar frameworks but requires managing compliance across multiple products.
