Fortinet named 2015 Frost & Sullivan Network Security Vendor of the Year

Fortinet® has received the 2015 Frost & Sullivan New Zealand Network Security Vendor of the Year Award. The Award acknowledges the NZ team's dedication to customers and recognises Fortinet’s outstanding performance throughout 2014.

The award was presented on Thursday, 15 October at the Frost & Sullivan Asia Pacific ICT Awards banquet held at the Conrad Centennial in Singapore. “New Zealand businesses are confronting the fact that cyber attacks have increased significantly in the last few years,” says Andrew Milory, Vice President, ICT Practice, Asia Pacific for Frost & Sullivan. “A major challenge is that a large portion of New Zealand businesses are not prepared for these cyber attacks. Coupled with that, many organisations in the country have encouraged employees to bring their own devices to work to increase productivity and employee satisfaction. “However,” he continues, “these trends have also introduced more threats into business networks, which in turn has caused more challenges for these businesses to secure their network infrastructure as well as their commercially-sensitive digital assets. Fortinet has leveraged cutting-edge network security technologies to address these challenges and become a market leader in New Zealand. “Fortinet has continued to increase its market share by securing contracts and partnering with major organisations in New Zealand. Consequently, the company showed strong financial performance with 24% growth in year-on-year revenue."
