As cyber threats evolve, partners’ needs evolve as well. Partners who meet them with a roadmap and framework to grow, and provide tools, training and incentives are essential. Fortinet’s Engage Partner Program does just that.

According to Grand View Research, the U.S. cybersecurity market is forecast to grow from $65 billion in annual sales last year to almost double that - $120 billion - by 2030.

That growth means solution providers will continue to play a central role in the fight to secure organizations and their networks.

But that growth provides not just opportunities, but also challenges to scale, adapt, and keep up with the rapidly changing and high-stakes nature of securing networks and keeping them efficient. Fortinet continues to play a leading role in setting up channel partners for success.

 

Built from the Ground Up

The Fortinet Engage Partner Program has been developed from the ground up and refined to address a rapidly changing market and solution provider opportunities and needs.

Fortinet provides its solution provider partners with joint marketing funds, training, and free licenses, toolkits, and special discounts - all aimed at enhancing their flexibility and boosting profitability.

Importantly, though, Fortinet accomplishes all this while providing a differentiated approach to cybersecurity—the convergence of networking and security that is woven into the Fortinet Security Fabric.
