"Breaking the two-million units shipped milestone is an important win for Fortinet," said Ken Xie, founder, chairman and CEO of Fortinet. "Results like these are not only a reflection of our growth, expansion and market share gains, they also demonstrate the hard work, talent and dedication that our employees and partners bring to work everyday, as we strive to make Fortinet the number one leader in the cybersecurity industry."
A deeper look into the IDC report shows Fortinet has been gaining both revenue and shipment market share in the Datacenter, Enterprise and SMB market segments. Fortinet attributes this ongoing market momentum to a strong customer focus, return on its sales and marketing investments, partner momentum and continuous best-of-breed technology innovation. Recent innovations such as its high-performance Internal Segmentation Firewall (ISFW) solutions further enhance Fortinet's broad security platform by providing additional protection for key data and resources housed inside the network. Backed by Fortinet's FortiGuard Lab's leading threat intelligence and research team, only Fortinet can protect organizations from cyber-threats at every possible entry point to the network.
