About Fortinet

From Startup to Global Cybersecurity Leader

Founded in 2000 by brothers Ken Xie and Michael Xie in Sunnyvale, California, Fortinet began with a single goal: to build a purpose-built network security appliance that outperformed general-purpose CPU-based competitors. The company shipped its first FortiGate ASIC-accelerated firewall in 2002 — establishing the hardware-acceleration philosophy that still defines Fortinet products today.

Today, Fortinet is the world's largest cybersecurity company by installed base, with over 730,000 customers across 190+ countries and more than 12,500 employees globally. The company is publicly traded on NASDAQ (FTNT) and consistently ranked as a top-10 global cybersecurity vendor by revenue. Fortinet has shipped over 10 million security appliances — more than any other security vendor in history.

Fortinet's UK presence spans government, NHS, financial services, retail, manufacturing, and education sectors. As a UK-authorised Fortinet reseller, Servnet provides access to the complete Fortinet portfolio with local expert support and fast UK delivery.

Why Fortinet

Six Reasons Fortinet Leads the Market

🏆
Gartner Magic Quadrant Leader
Fortinet has been named a Leader in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for Network Firewalls for 14 consecutive years — the longest-running NGFW leader in industry history.
Purpose-Built FortiASIC
Unlike competitors relying on general-purpose CPUs, Fortinet's FortiASIC processors deliver hardware-accelerated security at speeds 10–20× faster than software-only solutions at the same price point.
🌐
Unified Security Fabric
Every Fortinet product runs FortiOS and communicates through the Security Fabric — enabling automated threat response, shared intelligence, and single-console management across the entire network.
🔬
FortiGuard AI Threat Intelligence
FortiGuard Labs' AI-powered global threat intelligence network processes over 100 billion security events daily — providing continuously updated protection against zero-days, ransomware, and APTs.
💰
Best Price-Performance Ratio
Independent NSS Labs and SE Labs testing consistently shows Fortinet delivering the best security efficacy per pound spent — with lower TCO than Palo Alto Networks, Check Point, and Cisco at every tier.
📈
Scales from SMB to Hyperscale
A single vendor covers every deployment tier — from the FG-40F desktop firewall for small offices to the FG-4800F chassis for Tbps-scale data centres — using the same FortiOS and management interface throughout.
FortiGate Firewalls

The World's Best-Selling NGFW Range

FortiGate next-generation firewalls deliver hardware-accelerated threat protection, built-in SD-WAN, and Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) in a single platform — from compact desktop models to terabit-class chassis systems. All models run the same FortiOS operating system and share a unified management interface.

What is the Fortinet Security Fabric?
The Fortinet Security Fabric is Fortinet's unified security architecture that connects all Fortinet products — FortiGate, FortiSwitch, FortiAP, FortiClient, FortiAnalyzer, FortiManager, and many others — into a single, integrated platform. All products run FortiOS, share threat intelligence via FortiGuard, and are managed from a single console, enabling automated threat detection and response across the entire network.
What makes FortiGate better than other firewalls?
FortiGate firewalls are powered by Fortinet's purpose-built FortiASIC processors, which deliver hardware-accelerated security 10–20× faster than CPU-based competitors at the same price. Independent NSS Labs, SE Labs, and ICSA Labs testing consistently demonstrates best-in-class security efficacy.

Where can I buy Fortinet products in the UK?
Servnet is a UK-authorised Fortinet reseller. We supply the full range of FortiGate firewalls, FortiSwitch managed switches, FortiAP wireless access points, and FortiCare support services. Contact us at sales@servnetuk.com or call 0800 987 4111 for competitive pricing.
What is FortiLink?
FortiLink is Fortinet's proprietary management protocol that allows a FortiGate firewall to discover, provision, and manage FortiSwitch and FortiAP devices directly from the FortiOS interface. FortiLink eliminates the need for separate switch or wireless management controllers — reducing cost and complexity for unified wired and wireless network management.
What is FortiGuard?
FortiGuard is Fortinet's AI-powered threat intelligence and security services subscription. FortiGuard Labs continuously updates antivirus signatures, IPS rules, web filtering categories, application signatures, and zero-day threat intelligence — processed from over 100 billion security events analysed daily. FortiGuard services are delivered to FortiGate and other Fortinet products to maintain up-to-date protection.
What is ZTNA and does Fortinet support it?
Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) is a security model where no user or device is trusted by default — even inside the corporate network. Access is granted only after continuous verification of identity, device health, and context. Fortinet's FortiOS includes built-in ZTNA capabilities at no additional licence cost, enforced by FortiGate and managed alongside other network security policies.
What FortiCare support options are available?
Fortinet offers several FortiCare support tiers: FortiCare Essential (basic), FortiCare Premium (24/7 TAC), and Unified Threat Protection (UTP) and Enterprise Bundles that combine hardware support with FortiGuard security service subscriptions. Servnet can supply hardware, FortiCare support, and FortiGuard subscription bundles together in a single quote.
