This year's conference attendance was Fortinet's largest, encompassing more than 1,000 distributors and silver and gold resellers from 70 countries.

During the event, one of Fortinet’s highlights was the introduction and channel training of its new FortiOS 5.0, the world’s most advanced security operating system. This new release provides more security, intelligence and control to help enterprises be better protected against today’s advanced threats and enable more secure BYOD environments.Â

Bringing more than 150 new features for FortiGate, FortiManager, FortiAnalyzer and FortiClient products, FortiOS 5.0 provides Fortinet’s partners with a real competitive advantage by allowing them to offer enterprises of all sizes solutions that better defend against new advanced threats and help manage and protect networks against the influx of mobile devices and applications.

The Global Partner Conference awards recognize the partners that stand as a model to Fortinet’s overall channel base. And we congratulate them for their achievement,” said Patrice Perche, Senior Vice-President of International Sales and Support, Fortinet. “This year’s conference was the perfect opportunity to share our latest technology innovations and business strategies with our silver and gold resellers in order to have them best equipped to address the increasingly challenging security requirements of our end-customers.”
