Patrice Perche, Regional VP, Fortinet visited India for the first time to interface with the channel and address core issues facing them as well as their customers. Vishak Raman, Country Manager-India, Fortinet accompanied him. Fortinet also used these events to educate partners about the technical aspects of its products and also divulged its marketing strategies with them. A live demo of its latest product-FortiGate-224B, was provided. This product was launched in January globally and Fortinet introduced it in the Indian market at the channel event.

The FortiGate-224B delivers clientless access security control that enforces network policies without requiring special end-user software agents.

"With its combined full-featured LAN security and multi threat protection, Fortinet customers will be able to tackle the security and administration challenges that typical NAC solutions claim to do, but fail," said Perche.
