“From distributed business locations to more and more cloud-based mission critical applications, the cyber-attack surface and the sophistication of threats on enterprise networks are at an all-time high. As such, it is critical that businesses have the ability to spin up security resources and global polices as needed so they can free up resources to focus on business objectives. Building on our longstanding relationship with Verizon, Fortinet will deliver the on-demand security needed today for distributed enterprises to take their business to the next level, while helping control costs and drive business agility through virtualized offerings.” Alain Penel, Regional Vice President – Middle East at Fortinet
