In today’s cyber threat landscape, visibility is power and integration is everything.

That was the rallying cry of our latest NEXTGEN x Fortinet webinar, where cyber experts unpacked how strategic alliances and smarter integrations are reshaping security for the modern enterprise.

Hosted by Cameron Walters, Director of Cyber at NEXTGEN, the session spotlighted how Fortinet’s secure access innovations, in concert with NEXTGEN’s channel expertise, are accelerating customer outcomes and simplifying cyber resilience.

🔥 31 Qualified Meetings in the First Month
As Cameron kicked things off, the numbers spoke for themselves: 31 sales-qualified meetings booked within the first month of launch. That kind of traction isn't just noise — it's validation that this integration hits the mark.

“That means you'll get unified visibility, faster threat detection, and automated response across your entire environment.”

From Crosswalks to Cross-Functional Strategy
While the mention of “phobia and crosswalks” may have been a light-hearted slip, the session was anything but. The real focus was on market leadership, cloud integration, and strategic GTM alignment — showing how the right alliances can unlock massive opportunity.

Fortinet’s View from the Frontline
Terry from Fortinet took the reins to share how partner feedback is the engine of innovation. He emphasised the “huge opportunity” to co-build and co-sell with Fortinet — with integrated solutions designed to tackle today’s hybrid, complex threat environment head-on.

SASE Gets Sassy
Leigh Treacy, Fortinet’s Regional Director of Engineering, brought clarity and charisma as he demoed new feature releases — including what he affectionately dubbed a “sassy” component of SASE (Secure Access Service Edge).

“So we're well established around secure access. The services edge component is something that we have been investing heavily in.”

This wasn’t just talk — it was a tangible look into how Fortinet is powering secure connectivity at the edge, with partner-driven development at the core.
