Building Your Business with the Fortinet Engage Partner Program

Today’s organizations struggle to provide consistent protection across increasingly distributed network environments. According to the Harvard Business Review, part of the problem is that today’s enterprises typically have nearly 100 different security tools deployed across their networks. This creates a level of complexity that fragments visibility and limits and delays threat response, creating security gaps that today’s cyber adversaries are eager to exploit. As a result, it now takes an average of 277 days for organizations to identify and contain a data breach—and even then, only a third of breaches are identified by their internal security teams and tools.
