Ip.Glass becomes first in Australia to earn Fortinet EPSP status

Ip.Glass has been named the first organisation in Australia to achieve the Engage Preferred Services Partner (EPSP) designation under Fortinet's Engage Partner Program, a move the cybersecurity firm says enhances its ability to support enterprise and government clients amid evolving digital demands.

Announced on 7 May, the accreditation acknowledges Ip.Glass's capability to deploy, operate and maintain end-to-end security solutions. The company, which provides cybersecurity services across hybrid network infrastructures, now gains access to direct assistance from Fortinet experts as well as specialised training in advanced security support.

"Ip.Glass is thrilled to be the first organisation in Australia to achieve Fortinet's Engage Preferred Services Partner designation," said Semyon Taskin, Managing Director of Ip.Glass.

"This recognition not only distinguishes us in the competitive cybersecurity landscape but also reinforces our commitment to delivering exceptional security services tailored to the needs of our enterprise and government customers.

"The rigorous training and expertise required to obtain this accreditation allow us to better support businesses navigating an ever-changing digital environment," Taskin said.

The EPSP program allows partners to work closely with Fortinet's professional support teams, gaining insight into best practices and expanding service capabilities. According to the company, this collaboration enhances both technical knowledge and market differentiation.

John Millionis, Channel Director – Australia at Fortinet, welcomed the partnership.

"Fortinet is excited to welcome Ip.Glass as the first EPSP in Australia," said Millionis.

"Its commitment to excellence in cybersecurity perfectly aligns with Fortinet's mission of delivering comprehensive cybersecurity through the Fortinet Security Fabric.

"By leveraging this partnership, Ip.Glass is well-positioned to provide enterprise and government customers with the critical resources necessary to address modern security challenges," he added.

The Engage Partner Program is Fortinet's global initiative aimed at addressing growing customer needs driven by work-from-anywhere trends, hybrid IT environments and a shifting threat landscape. According to Fortinet, the program offers partners tools to enhance expertise and differentiate services while enabling business growth through digital acceleration strategies.

The program is also focused on building stable and rewarding partnerships. Through customised pathways, it helps partners expand their technical skill sets and tap into Fortinet's wide security portfolio, which includes solutions covering everything from data centres to cloud infrastructure.

Ip.Glass, in turn, says it will use this enhanced access to expertise to deepen its cybersecurity offerings.

Based in Australia, Ip.Glass describes itself as being at the forefront of cybersecurity innovation, offering tailored solutions for enterprise environments. The company says it focuses on helping businesses advance their digital transformation goals while strengthening security frameworks.

The new EPSP status adds to the company's capabilities in delivering highly specialised security services, particularly in support of organisations operating across complex digital infrastructures.
