2 weeks ago
Fortinet has updated its Fortinet Engage Partner Program by adding new consumption models including FortiSIEM and FortiEDR.
According to Gartner, by 2024, more than 90% of buyers looking to outsource to security services providers will focus on threat detection and response services. Fortinet has seen an uptake of its consumption offerings, which continues to grow significantly as partners take advantage of tapping into this market demand for threat detection security outcomes. With more and more customers looking for flexible consumption models, the introduction of new ways to consume Fortinet’s end point solutions enable MSSPs and SPs to offer their customers new security services that can be quickly deployed and at lower costs.
As the cybersecurity skills gap continues to impact organizations everywhere, it is more important than ever that both current and prospective security team members take advantage of training offerings to enhance their skill sets. It is also important that everyone involved in cybersecurity encourage others to find opportunity in the field. Recently, FortiGuard Labs’ Aamir Lakhani and Jonas Walker sat down to discuss their careers in threat research, the importance of training, and the lessons they have learned while working in the field of cybersecurity.
Q: How did you get into the field of cybersecurity?
Aamir - Even as a little kid, I was always interested in computers. When I was seven or eight years old, my dad got me a computer. Since I didn’t know what to do with it, I went to the library and took out books to learn about programming. I was always interested in learning why things break – that’s how I migrated into cybersecurity.
