“Just like Fortinet consistently innovates our products, we will continue evolving our Engage Partner Program to set up our partners for success in a dynamic industry that is ever-changing,” he said. “The program’s latest updates help Fortinet partners meet the needs of their customers implementing new digital innovations and better position them as trusted advisers to help customers navigate emerging technologies.”

New consumption models and benefits to the cloud partner model create new, easy routes to market for partners, Bove said. The models will help them stand out and be competitive. They’ll also lower costs and increase profitability, he added.

“Our specializations, which we’ve added three new ones for a total of seven, also enable partners to differentiate their expertise and skill sets in high growth areas such as secure SD-WAN, operation technology and zero trust access,” he said.
