Fortinet grows Engage Preferred Services Partner program in Australia

Fortinet has added Data Haus, Seccom Global and Wavelink to its Engage Preferred Services Partner (EPSP) program in Australia, expanding the local ecosystem of accredited partners with validated implementation expertise in Fortinet technologies.

The EPSP is an invitation-only accreditation recognising partners that demonstrate advanced technical expertise, proven delivery capabilities and sustained investment in Fortinet's portfolio.

Fewer than one per cent of Fortinet partners globally hold EPSP status, according to the company.

For Australian organisations, the additions give customers greater choice of accredited partners for complex security deployments as enterprises continue to modernise networks and adopt hybrid environments, the company claims.

John Milionis, director of channel and distribution for Australia at Fortinet, said EPSP goes beyond certification.

"It recognises organisations that have made a long-term commitment to developing highly skilled engineering teams and delivering consistently strong customer outcomes," Milionis said.

"The addition of Data Haus, Seccom Global, and Wavelink strengthens Australia's ecosystem of EPSP partners, giving customers greater access to trusted implementation expertise."

The three new accreditations build on the foundation established by IP.Glass, which Fortinet said was Australia's inaugural EPSP partner.
