Fortinet adds three partners to Australia service scheme. Tue, 1st Sep 2026 (Today) Fortinet has added Data Haus, Seccom Global and Wavelink to its Engage Preferred Services Partner programme in Australia, placing the three companies in a small group of partners recognised under the scheme. The move expands the vendor's local pool of accredited services partners as Australian organisations seek outside help to design, deploy and support increasingly complex security environments. The invitation-only Engage Preferred Services Partner, or EPSP, programme is aimed at partners that can demonstrate technical expertise, delivery experience and sustained investment in Fortinet products and training. Fewer than 1 per cent of Fortinet partners globally hold the status. That makes the Australian additions notable in a market where corporate buyers are dealing with network modernisation, hybrid technology estates and pressure to improve cyber resilience. The accreditation is intended to give customers another signal when selecting implementation and support partners. John Milionis, Director, Channel and Distribution, Australia, Fortinet, described the additions as part of a broader build-out of the local partner network. "Fortinet is seeing strong momentum behind EPSP in Australia as more partners invest in building the technical expertise needed to achieve this accreditation. EPSP is far more than a certification. It recognises organisations that have made a long-term commitment to developing highly skilled engineering teams and delivering consistently strong customer outcomes. As more organisations adopt increasingly sophisticated cybersecurity architectures, customers want confidence that they're working with partners that have proven technical capability and real-world delivery experience. The addition of Data Haus, Seccom Global and Wavelink strengthens Australia's ecosystem of EPSP partners, giving customers greater access to trusted implementation expertise and supporting Fortinet's continued growth across the region," said Milionis. Partner network The three newly accredited businesses play different roles in the channel. Data Haus and Seccom Global work directly with customers on security projects, while Wavelink operates as a distributor supporting resellers and partners across Australia. For Data Haus, the accreditation reflects a push to deepen specialist expertise in Fortinet deployments. It said the status validates investment across its engineering team as it takes on larger and more complex customer projects. "Achieving EPSP accreditation validates the investment we've made in building deep Fortinet expertise across our engineering team. It gives customers confidence that they're working with a partner that has demonstrated the technical capability required to deliver complex cybersecurity environments and supports our continued growth alongside Fortinet," said Laura Ogden, Director, Data Haus. Seccom Global framed the accreditation as the latest step in a relationship with Fortinet that stretches back more than two decades. The long association highlights the importance of vendor specialisation in the cybersecurity channel, where customers often rely on partners with product-specific engineering depth. "Fortinet has been at the centre of Seccom Global's business since we started more than 20 years ago, making EPSP accreditation a natural progression for our organisation. It recognises the depth of expertise our engineers have developed over many years of delivering Fortinet solutions and supports our commitment to helping customers achieve the best possible outcomes from their cybersecurity investments," said Michael Demery, Managing Director, Seccom Global. Distribution role Wavelink's inclusion also highlights the role distributors can play beyond logistics and procurement. In security projects, distributors are increasingly expected to provide technical support to partners involved in complex deployments. Wavelink said the accreditation strengthens its position in supporting the wider Fortinet channel with implementation work. That can include access to specialist engineers who assist resellers on projects that demand deeper product knowledge. "Wavelink has been working towards EPSP accreditation for several years because we recognised the value it would bring to our partners. Distribution today is about much more than moving products. Partners need access to highly skilled technical specialists who can work alongside them on complex implementations. EPSP validates that capability and reinforces our commitment to supporting the Australian Fortinet partner community," said Nick Touzeau, Chief Operating Officer, Wavelink. The latest accreditations build on the foundation of IP.Glass, which Fortinet identified as Australia's inaugural EPSP partner. With the addition of Data Haus, Seccom Global and Wavelink, Fortinet has expanded the number of local organisations that can market themselves as accredited providers of Fortinet implementation expertise. For Australian customers, the change is likely to matter most in procurement and project delivery. Security buyers often need outside help not only to install products but also to integrate them with existing networks, cloud systems and operational processes, especially as cyber tools become more interconnected and demanding to manage. For vendors, partner accreditation programmes serve a dual purpose: offering customers a shortlist of recognised service providers while giving channel businesses a way to distinguish themselves in a crowded cybersecurity market. In this case, Fortinet is using the EPSP badge to signal which partners it believes have invested in engineering skills and delivery experience around its technology. Fortinet said the expansion of the Australian EPSP ecosystem gives customers greater choice and recognises partners that have invested in highly skilled engineering teams and advanced delivery work.

Fortinet launches free High School Cybersecurity Curriculum to build the next generation of cyber defenders. Fortinet Training Institute's New Technical High School Cybersecurity Curriculum gives U.S. secondary schools a no-cost, standards-aligned entry point into a two-year cybersecurity pathway. August 31, 2026 09:00 ET | Source: Fortinet, Inc. SUNNYVALE, Calif., Aug. 31, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) - Fortinet(R)(NASDAQ: FTNT), the global cybersecurity leader driving the convergence of networking and security, today announced that the Fortinet Training Institute is launching free technical cybersecurity courses for students, the Technical High School Cybersecurity Curriculum, available to schools across the United States through the Security Awareness and Training Service. "Closing the cybersecurity skills gap starts in the classroom, long before a student enters the workforce. This new curriculum allows high school students the opportunity to build foundational technical skills and knowledge and discover whether a cybersecurity career is right for them, while giving teachers a ready-to-use curriculum they don't have to build on their own. This launch reflects our commitment to making cybersecurity education accessible to every school, and more importantly, every student, regardless of existing resources," said Melonia da Gama, Director of Training and Learning Programs, Fortinet Training Institute. Offered at no cost, the curriculum builds foundational knowledge and career interest while bridging toward industry certifications, giving Career and Technical Education (CTE) leaders, district technology leaders, and teachers a way to expand cybersecurity programming without straining budgets or instructional bandwidth. The curriculum is organized in a two-course format. Each course will take a full school year, approximately 180 days, or 145 hours to complete. These two courses offer students the opportunity to develop core cybersecurity knowledge and prerequisites before learning advanced technical cybersecurity skills. * Cybersecurity 1: Foundations is the first year-long course and the entry point into Fortinet Training Institute's two-course cybersecurity pathway for high schools. It focuses on introducing key skills and knowledge, while encouraging students to consider continuing education and cybersecurity careers. * Cybersecurity 2: Fundamentals is the second year-long course that builds on the learning from the first year. This course focuses on technical and practical cybersecurity skills, advanced cybersecurity concepts, and serves as a bridge to industry-standard cybersecurity certifications. A Foundational On-Ramp to a Two-Course Cybersecurity Pathway School districts face growing pressure to align programs with workforce demand, but many lack affordable, standards-aligned cybersecurity content or the capacity to build courses from the ground up. Fortinet's Technical High School Cybersecurity Curriculum closes that gap with a ready-to-implement curriculum that expands a student's opportunities. The curriculum is built around three core pillars: * Free, standards-aligned curriculum: Schools and districts gain access to high-quality, standards-aligned cybersecurity instruction at no cost, allowing programs to launch immediately without seeking additional funding or navigating approval delays. * Ready-to-use lesson plans and instructor materials: Modular lessons, activities, and teaching materials reduce preparation time for educators, enabling teachers to deliver high-quality cybersecurity instruction with confidence, even without a deep cybersecurity background. Teachers may choose to use pieces of each lesson to supplement other course content, or teach the courses from start to finish. * A no-cost implementation model: By removing financial barriers to entry, the program is designed to accelerate adoption across schools and districts of every size, helping students build foundational knowledge across networking, cryptography, endpoint security, application security, risk management, and cyber defense. Together, these elements help schools better prepare students for college coursework, industry certifications, and cybersecurity careers, while giving districts a way to demonstrate innovation and career-focused, future-ready learning to their communities. Building Real-World Pathways: Chicago Public Schools Explores an Early Pilot Districts building cybersecurity pathways are looking to the Technical High School Cybersecurity Curriculum to strengthen existing coursework. Chicago Public Schools (CPS), which has expanded access to the college board's AP cybersecurity course, is among the early districts exploring Fortinet's curriculum as a foundational resource. As CPS's high school computer science team grew its cybersecurity pathway, it identified a need for a curriculum that builds foundational knowledge while preparing students for more advanced coursework. Fortinet's Technical High School Cybersecurity Curriculum progresses through networking, cryptography, endpoint security, application security, risk management, and cyber defense, closely complementing the AP cybersecurity framework and giving students a logical path to build prerequisite knowledge before or alongside the AP course. Modular lessons and flexible pacing let teachers adapt implementation to their own classrooms and schedules. "Chicago Public Schools is committed to preparing students for high-demand careers in cybersecurity through rigorous, industry-aligned learning experiences. As we expand access to AP cybersecurity across our district, we are excited to explore Fortinet's Technical High School Cybersecurity Curriculum as a potential resource to strengthen our pathway.
