Fortinet Global Partner Conference 2012
I was lucky enough to attend the Fortinet Global Partner Conference in Miami this month. The conference took place on a cruise ship which traveled around the Bahamas from Monday-Friday. There was a good mixture of Fortinet presentations and technical training which took place on the ship as well as off ship excursions to several Islands. The focus of the conference was the release of FortiOS Version 5. Once again Fortinet have produced a significant release with a great set of enhancements and new features including endpoint device recognition which can be used in firewall policies, Wireless improvements, advanced anti-malware detection, Anti-Virus, IPS and client reputation. The number of features is too great to include in this post but a quick check on the Fortinet website will give more information. http://www.fortinet.com/solutions/os5.html All in all the conference seemed like a great success and the attendance was high at around 1700 people.
