News Summary Fortinet® (NASDAQ:
FTNT), the global cybersecurity leader driving the convergence of
networking and security, today announced the opening of a new
building in Atlanta, Georgia. As the newest Fortinet-owned facility
to open this year, the company remains deeply committed to its
global expansion strategy, aiming to drive innovation and
strengthen collaboration for Fortinet’s customers, partners,
employees, and other key stakeholders around the world.
Representing an initial investment of more than $15 million, the
215,000-square-foot, 10-story building will serve as a Fortinet
Innovation Hub, contributing to the region’s ongoing growth and job
development. The new space will include the following:
- Fortinet Cloud Point of
Presence: Fortinet will continue building out its cloud
infrastructure with this new FortiCloud Point of Presence (POP).
This POP will be optimized by Fortinet’s proprietary ASIC
technology to enable the company to further deliver advanced
services to customers with a superior user experience while
enabling cost savings.
- Executive Briefing Center (EBC): This new EBC
will serve as a collaborative space, welcoming customers and other
stakeholders to help drive business growth and foster
partnerships.
- Cyber Training Facility: The space will
provide an environment that cultivates in-person learning by
delivering the Fortinet Training Institute’s award-winning
certification program curriculum, advancing Fortinet’s efforts to
address the cyber skills gap.
- Customer Support Expansion: The local services
and sales team will continue to offer their extensive expertise and
knowledge to the region, enhancing customer support and ensuring
greater satisfaction.
A ribbon cutting ceremony will take place on November 15,
attended by Fortinet leadership, including Ken Xie, Founder,
Chairman of the Board, and Chief Executive Officer, among
others.
Fortinet is also donating to the Hire Heroes USA’s Atlanta
chapter and Cyversity’s Atlanta chapter to further its
investment in the region and deepen its existing partnership with
both organizations. As part of the Fortinet Training Institute
Education Outreach program, Hire Heroes USA is focused on helping
veterans and military spouses find meaningful employment, and
Cyversity is focused on empowering women, veterans, and
underrepresented communities. Fortinet works alongside both
organizations to build a diverse, inclusive, and highly skilled
cyber workforce.
