“The roll out of new cybersecurity tools for our customers was a significant investment, but it has allowed us to make enterprise grade security tools available at a per endpoint or per user cost, making the solution and protection available to any size customer. I’ve really enjoyed working with our cybersecurity, network and NOC teams configuring the FortiSIEM for use by our managed services customers.
