Fortinet Partner Conference Untaps New Market Opportunities

Fortinet held its first on-site partner conference in over two years in Bangalore to engage and strengthen its continued commitment to channel partners and to explore new market opportunities. Over 200 channel partners and Manged Service Providers attended the conference. It provided a platform for Fortinet to reiterate its commitment to helping fulfill new and changing client expectations driven by work-from-anywhere models through its Engage Partner Program and enablement tools.

As some employees return to the office and others continue to work remotely, several firms have established a flexible hybrid work model. As a result, it has opened up new markets for partners to help address their clients’ top cybersecurity challenges in trying to keep up with today’s workforce developments. In this age of continuously increasing and evolving networks, security is more important than ever. New network ecosystems, which rely significantly on multi and hybrid cloud environments, necessitate the development of specific technical skills and expertise, which partners must create in order to evolve and expand in order to meet client expectations.

Vishak Raman, Vice President of Sales, India, SAARC and Southeast Asia, Fortinet shares, said, “Fortinet’s Engage Partner Program offers specializations to help partners be recognized and valued by current and potential customers as trusted partners who have the expertise, services, and technologies they need to fulfil their business needs.
