NEC XON customers will gain access to broader and deeper enterprise cybersecurity capabilities following the company’s achievement of every available accreditation within the Fortinet partner programme, making it the only partner on the continent to hold the full set of designations.
NEC XON holds all three Fortinet reseller business models – systems integrator, marketplace partner and managed security service provider – enabling customers to consume Fortinet technologies in the way that best suits their operating and commercial requirements.
In addition, the company has achieved all seven Fortinet partner specialisations: cloud security; secure access service edge; software-defined wide area networking; secure networking firewall; secure networking local area network; security operations; and operational technology security.
NEC XON has also secured both Fortinet service programme designations – Engage Preferred Services Partner and Engage Technical Support Partner – allowing it to deliver certified implementation services as well as advanced technical support directly to customers.
According to Ian Kruger, presales and engineering manager at NEC XON, the accreditations reflect sustained investment in skills, process and platform capability.
“From a customer perspective, this is about confidence and continuity,” says Kruger. “It means customers can design, deploy and operate Fortinet solutions knowing they are working with a partner that has been independently validated across architecture, delivery and support, and across the full Fortinet portfolio.”
