Canada Partner of the Year
Each year, Fortinet’s Partner of the Year awards (as part of the Fortinet Engage Partner Program) recognize dedicated and distinguished partners around the world. The Canada Partner of the Year award recognized exceptional companies who have demonstrated record business growth thanks to their expertise on the partner business model, Fortinet solutions and their customers’ business needs. Based on commitments to infrastructure, Managed SD-WAN and Managed Services, these partners align with Fortinet’s strategic business priorities and demonstrate a commitment to Fortinet and its customers.
Bell works with Fortinet to bring to market the Bell Security Unified Response Environment (BSURE) solution. This fully managed service combines Bell’s national security operations with Fortinet's leading security information and event management (SIEM), security orchestration, automation and response (SOAR) technologies, which proactively monitors security environments 24/7 to help keep businesses protected from cyber threats.
By collaborating with partners such as Fortinet, Bell continues to expand and improve its managed security services to better meet the needs of Canadian businesses as they adopt cloud technologies, embrace the Internet of Things (IoT) and extend their network to reach more consumers. Additionally, Bell has a team of more than 700 security professionals with in-depth experience supporting Canada’s largest companies. As longstanding strategic partners, Bell and Fortinet will continue to develop innovative cybersecurity services and solutions that further simplify and enhance the detection and management of sophisticated threats.
The Canada Partner of the Year award reinforces other recent recognitions Bell has received from Fortinet for the quality and performance of its security services. Previously, Bell won Fortinet’s Service Provider Partner of the Year award for North America two years in a row. This award recognizes companies who have demonstrated accelerated growth over the past year in both infrastructure and managed offerings. We are proud to add the Canada Partner of the Year award to our list of recognitions from Fortinet.
