Fortinet’s Engage partnership program aims to enable partners to drive profitability and customer success by leveraging an expansive industry-leading cybersecurity and networking solutions portfolio, designed to secure customers’ entire infrastructure from the data centre to the cloud.

Achieving APAC regional partnership level demonstrates NEC Australia’s commitment to its partners and customers by delivering and supporting Fortinet solutions with specially trained and highly skilled staff.

The Fortinet Security Fabric has helped NEC optimise costs, improve operational excellencies, and build a highly secure and trusted IT environment for customers. This includes using the platform’s common operating system and management framework to provide customers with broad visibility, seamless integration, granular control and automation, as well as interoperability between critical security elements.
