Fortinet, the global cybersecurity leader driving the convergence of networking and security, today announced two dedicated data centres in India to expand the reach and availability of Fortinet Universal SASE, FortiGuard AI-Powered Security Services, and FortiCloud for customers across India and SAARC.
According to recent Fortinet research, 94% of the Indian workforce is either hybrid or fully remote and, on an average, requires over 40 connections to third-party cloud applications. This significantly expands an organization’s attack surface and complicates enterprise security. To address this, businesses are increasingly adopting cloud-delivered services to securely connect their hybrid workforce.
The new, dedicated data centres announced today in Pune and Bangalore add to our existing Development Centre and Support Centre investments in India. They will address the growing demand for secure connections by expanding coverage for Fortinet Universal SASE, FortiCloud, and FortiGuard AI-Powered Security Services:
