Linux agent-based workload security

The FortiCNAPP Linux agent provides threat detection, file integrity monitoring, vulnerability detection, and host-based intrusion detection for your cloud or on-premise Linux OS-based workloads.

After you install the agent, the agent and FortiCNAPP server communicate with each other. The agent scans your host and securely forwards select metadata to the server to build a baseline of normal behavior. From this, FortiCNAPP provides alerts for anomalous behavior.
