Fortinet converging the network and security into one

Rajeev K Abichandani, Sr. Manager, GSI/NSI Alliances (India & SAARC)- Fortinet

If we talk about Fortinet, most of you recognize just one flagship product and that is the firewall. As the firewall UTM is concerned, we have close to 40% market share so far. But this is just a starting point for us because a firewall is the foundation of convergence to a platform journey. Convergence cannot be achieved overnight, especially after COVID-19 customers are talking about consolidation, convergence and platform. Along with me you all would recognize cybersecurity as the most fragmented solution in the industry. If we look at the latest data from Gartner, they say that 75% of large organizations are actively pursuing a vendor consolidation strategy. Fortinet is converging the network and security into one. The converged benefits are reduced complexity, a single console management, a secured networking and cost saving. If we talk about how big the convergence is, then we are in a place where the security networking is 40% and the networking alone is 60%. In the next seven years, you will see that secured networking on the convergence will be bigger than the networking. In Fortinet we are bringing endpoints, security, networking, cloud, security operations all together onto a single platform in an organic approach, all managed by a single console to protect the broadest attack surface and better risk management.
