ALESTA has upgraded its Fortinet partner status to Advanced Partner. This significant achievement confirms the team’s high level of competence, professional expertise in the field of cybersecurity, and the successful development of its partnership with one of the world’s leading providers of information security solutions.

As of today, only four companies in Ukraine hold Fortinet Advanced Partner status, and ALESTA is among them. For the company, this means new opportunities for business development, increased participation in projects, enhanced technical expertise and a stronger position in the cybersecurity market.

In the Fortinet Engage partner programme, the Advanced level is awarded to partners with proven experience in implementing a wide range of Fortinet solutions, as well as certified specialists capable of handling diverse customer requirements and deployment scenarios. This status provides a higher level of access to the vendor’s technical and commercial resources, training programmes, specialisations, solution demonstration tools, as well as additional partner benefits.

For ALESTA, Fortinet Advanced Partner status means:

• extended access to Fortinet’s technical support and resources;
• greater opportunities to develop services and specialisations in areas such as Secure Networking, SASE, SD-WAN, Cloud Security, OT Security, Security Operations and others;
• strengthening the company’s role as an integrator capable of delivering complex projects for the protection of networks, data centres, cloud environments and distributed infrastructure.

For customers, working with ALESTA as a Fortinet Advanced Partner offers a number of practical benefits:

• Proven expertise. The client works with a partner that has a certified team and proven experience in implementing Fortinet solutions.
• Superior quality of architecture and implementation. An Advanced Partner is able to correctly select, integrate and scale solutions to meet specific business objectives and security requirements.
• Faster access to the vendor’s resources. Thanks to expanded channels of communication with Fortinet, customers can count on more effective project support and faster resolution of technical issues.
• Modern approaches to cyber security. Advanced status enables the partner to develop specialisations in cutting-edge areas — from network and cloud security to SASE, Zero Trust and operational security.
• More reliable long-term collaboration. For the customer, this means more than just purchasing a solution; it means access to a team capable of delivering the full lifecycle: consultancy, auditing, design, implementation, technical support and the ongoing development of the security system.

Consequently, this new status enhances ALESTA’s capabilities in managing complex cybersecurity projects and gives clients added confidence in the level of expertise, quality of implementation and reliability of support.

ALESTA will continue to invest in team development, specialist certification and the expansion of its partnership initiatives to help clients build a modern, resilient and effective cyber defence system based on Fortinet technologies.
