Fortinet Network Security Initiative to Benefit MSSPs

“Finding good, qualified security engineers has been exceedingly difficult,” said Peter Bybee, CEO of Security on Demand, a San Diego-based MSSP. “Fortinet’s Veteran program has given us access to qualified engineers that help us answer the demand from our customers to defend their networks.”

“Fortinet’s Veterans program helped me launch my cyber security career. Now I work at a top managed service provider that is tackling daily security issues for many customers. This experience is going to be valuable as my career progresses,” said Jose Humberto, USMC Disabled Vet. “I strongly encourage Veterans who are interested in making a career in the information security arena to take advantage of this program and start on their way to a successful and rewarding career. Even if they have not had an extensive technical background, this program offers the first step on the path to Information Assurance and Security and has been a proven mechanism to help me succeed in my career."

The G.I. Bill

Fortinet Certified Network Security Administrator (FCNSA) and Fortinet Certified Network Security Professional (FCNSP) technical certifications are now covered by the G.I. Bill.

The FCNSA designation certifies that individuals have the expertise necessary to manage the day-to-day operations of FortiGate devices in support of specific corporate policies. Certification not only enriches an individual's professional development, but it also offers many benefits to an organization by providing a reliable benchmark to evaluate skills and knowledge.

Fortinet - UCS Program

Promoting standards within managed services is not new for Fortinet. Last year, Fortinet announced changes to its MSSP partner program, which included the ability of UCS (Unified Certification Standard) audited companies to become eligible to achieve Fortinet platinum level partner status.
