Delete Cloud Account

When a cloud account is no longer needed to be monitored or if it needs to be deleted to free up Cloud Protection License seats. The cloud account can be removed through FortiCNP Administrator. After the cloud account is removed, the AWS CloudFormation stacks (FortiCNP stack and Security Hub Integration stack) that were created also need to be removed (AWS Cloud accounts only).

There are two purposes on removing the CloudFormation stacks:

  1. The existing CloudFormation stacks need to be removed for the AWS account to be re-deployed again on FortiCNP. This is to avoid conflicts occurring when adding the AWS account again through CloudFormation.
  2. Security Hub Integration stack needs to be removed to stop AWS from sending Security Hub findings to FortiCNP.
If Security Hub Integration stack is not removed, AWS will continue to send findings to FortiCNP.
