Exclusive Networks and Fortinet have extended their international partnership to cover the Irish cyber security market.

“Our collaboration with Fortinet may be new to the Irish market but we are leveraging over two decades of accumulated knowledge, expertise, experience and trust from our successful partnerships around the world,” said Julian Keable, country manager at Exclusive Networks Ireland. “Ireland is seen as a strategically important market for many of the world’s leading multinational organisations with buoyant IT and channel sectors. Cyber security revenue is expected to grow annually by nearly 8% to reach over $812 million by 2029. We look forward to working with Fortinet and our channel partners to capitalise on this exciting growth opportunity.”

Richard Woolfrey, regional director UK&I, Fortinet said: “Our successful partnership with Exclusive has been forged over many years, built on trust, fuelled by innovation and growth. Ireland is a key market for Fortinet, where we have been investing for many years, and it was important for us to appoint a new distributor to support recent growth.

“To achieve this pivotal step, we put in place a rigorous process to determine the best proposal, commitment, and vision to continue the growth trajectory in the next stage of our Ireland channel. We are now excited to extend our global partnership to cover Ireland and look forward to working closely with both the Exclusive teams and channel partners to achieve mutual success and growth across the region.”
