Orro & Fortinet introduce robust SASE solution for businesses

Australian platform-enabled secure network and digital infrastructure provider Orro has announced a new partnership with long-term partner Fortinet to deliver a robust Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) offering. The collaboration aims to provide businesses with integrated network and security systems that will lead to smarter, self-optimising, and more secure systems.

Recently acknowledged as the Fortinet Australian Partner of the Year for the second consecutive year, Orro highlights its shared mission with Fortinet to ensure businesses operate with a strong and secure digital infrastructure. This collaboration marks another milestone in their partnership and highlights their commitment to helping businesses leverage technology efficiently and securely.

The introduction of the SASE framework through the partnership would help businesses secure their clients and on-site and cloud networks with a comprehensive layer of security. Furthermore, the convergence between security and networking means that the same level of protection, visibility, and user experience extends universally to every user, regardless of their location.

Our premise is to secure clients to the cloud and assist customers in being Securely Connected, Everywhere."

Dale Nachman, Country Manager, Fortinet Australia, added, "Working with Orro as a strong and ongoing partner to provide this true SASE offering to our customers, we are addressing the key needs of businesses at all levels to ensure a holistic approach to security and network management. As the industry continues to grow and the needs of businesses change, we look forward to supporting our customers with our flexible and scalable solutions."
