Nashville, Tenn., was the latest city to host Fortinet’s XPERTS Summit and Custom XPERTS Workshops and a FortiGate Workshop for FCAs (Fortinet Certified Associates). More than 250 partners converged on the Music City to participate in technical workshops, keynote sessions and 1:1 meetings with industry experts—all designed to advance their cybersecurity knowledge and experience the latest Fortinet technologies and solutions.
Fortinet held custom XPERTS workshops offering hands-on training with the newest Fortinet technology across their solution portfolio including:
- Understanding Fortinet Secure SD-WAN Solution
- Enforcing SASE Zero Trust Network Access on a Global Scale
- Support and Protect OT Environments
Fortinet also held a FortiGate custom workshop for 115 FCAs. This workshop educated FCAs on the fundamentals of using FortiGate, how to configure and manage a single security instance—virtual domain, a virtual machine or physical appliance—and core topics for network deployment. In addition, FCAs explored the configuration and settings of FortiGate devices in an interactive lab environment.
Additionally, more than 60 partners competed in the US qualifying round of the Ultimate Fabric Challenge, one of the industry’s toughest cybersecurity competitions. The Ultimate Fabric Challenge is an eSports skills competition that tests partners’ cybersecurity knowledge in the most challenging environments. Teams are dropped into a virtual customer site where they use all their talents and skills to uncover key objectives and successfully complete them by leveraging Fortinet technology. Congratulations to this year’s winners who qualified to represent the US in the global Ultimate Fabric Challenge at Accelerate 2024
