Fortinet Invests $75 Million in Linksys, Announces Strategic Security Alliance

The strategic alliance lets Fortinet deliver enterprise-grade secure, reliable network connectivity for home-based workers, CEO Ken Xie said. It enables Fortinet to provide security-driven networking that ensures remote workers are protected against cyber threats and can enjoy a seamless end-user experience. It empowers Fortinet to simultaneously secure mobile end-users, Internet of Things (IoT) devices and home offices and help organizations remain agile, safe and productive. It enables organizations to provide end-users with low-latency access to applications hosted at a data center or in the cloud and apply unified security policies across their networks. Furthermore, Fortinet in March 2021 updated its Engage program to help MSSPs, cloud services providers (CSPs) and systems integrators (SIs) grow their businesses.
