Fortinet has launched its FortiCarePlus Service across India and SAARC. Targeted at businesses with limited in-house IT skill sets, the FortiCarePlus Service is managed remotely through telephone or Internet connection by Fortinet’s Security Operations Centre (SOC). The service enables the remote installation and commissioning of FortiGate Unified Threat Management (UTM) appliances, in addition to providing ongoing security management and monitoring services.
Fortinet recently rolled out a roadshow across major metros to evangelize resellers and distributors on its FortiCarePlus Service, including its business opportunities and engagement process. Fortinet will shortlist and sign up about 200 partners from the security and networking domains, and provide them with qualified multi-level training prior to their certification as Fortinet Certified Network Security Associates (FCNSA) or Fortinet Certified Network Security Professionals (FCNSP).
Vishak Raman, Senior Regional Director, India and SAARC, Fortinet, said, "The FortiCare Plus Service opens up great business opportunities for non-security focused resellers so that they too can profit from the accelerated adoption of UTM appliances across all market segments. On the customer front, we expect that the convenience and assurance offered by FortiCarePlus Service will help more SMBs in India leverage our advanced technologies to protect and control their IT infrastructure."
