About the company

Fortinet was founded in California in 2000 by brothers Ken and Michael Xie. Its FortiGate firewalls are now among the most widely deployed network security appliances in the world.

What do they do?

Fortinet position themselves around a unified Security Fabric spanning IT and OT. For buildings, their firewalls, ruggedised appliances and segmentation tools separate the BMS and other operational systems from corporate and tenant networks, backed by their own threat intelligence.

• What it does: Firewalls, network segmentation and threat protection for IT and OT networks.
• Integration: One security platform that IT and building technology teams can manage together.
• Data and reporting: Centralised visibility of threats and network activity.

Fortinet suits owners and occupiers who want building networks protected with the same platform their IT team already uses.
