Most manufacturers were able to offer two out of our three desired security functions but Fortinet was the only vendor with the capability to provide all three in a single security solution, while meeting our high expectations in terms of performance and cost effectiveness. On top of providing first-class security, the flexibility of the FortiGate systems allows our security solution to evolve on a per-region basis, as and when required. Moving forward, Fortinet’s integrated approach means that other security functions such as SSL VPN, firewall and traffic shaping can be switched as per a country’s individual requirements. As a fast-growing acquisitive company, this made for a very compelling proposition.
