The next step in firewall and security technology

We offer the latest generation of award winning network protection systems from Fortinet. These work to secure your IT environment by protecting against both email and web threats, such as viruses, worms, intrusions and inappropriate content − without impacting on the performance of your network.

Their awards, your rewards

Fortinet leads the way when it comes to network security awards. Forming a link with IT Lab was, therefore, a natural fit. It wasn’t hard for us to recognise the benefits of using the leading Unified Threat Management (UTM) player and the sole supplier of real-time Accelerated Network Security Systems (ASIC). By combining FortiGuard’s subscription services with our intelligent systems, we offer our customers the most comprehensive and cost-effective range of integrated IT defences available.

The most certifications in the industry

Our patented product innovation includes Fortinet's intelligent bridge technology, the FortiASIC chip design, FortiOS software, networking, security and content analysis. These technologies have received the most industry certifications including FIPS 140-2 and Common Criteria EAL4+ certifications and eight ICSA Certifications - Antivirus, Firewall, IPSec, SSL-TLS, Intrusion Prevention, Client antivirus cleaning & detection , and AntiSpyware. FortiGate systems are also the only Unified Threat Management systems certified by the independent NSS test labs for IPS and UTM.

IT Lab Fortinet Centre of Excellence

We look after over 60 Fortinet devices across the UK and Europe. Plus, through a dedicated program of investment and training, we are also recognised as a Fortinet centre of excellence. This commitment has made us the foremost Silver Partner in the UK with one of the most qualified teams − holding 3* FCNSP’s and 17 * FCNSA’s accreditations.

Fortinet Certified Network Security Professional (FCNSP)

The FCNSP accreditation guarantees our engineers have the skills and knowledge needed to successfully implement and configure all FortiGate solutions, tightly integrating multi-threat protection onto a purpose-built platform. Our trained engineers can also combine multiple FortiGates allowing you to use larger scale features , such as High Availability (HA) and Virtual Private Network (VPN) resources. Additionally, our qualified experts also have an in-depth knowledge of other Fortinet products, such as FortiManager and FortiAnalyser.

Fortinet Certified Network Security Associate (FCNSA)

The FCNSA accreditation provides our people with solid knowledge of the day-to-day configuration and monitoring of FortiGate devices, as well as a strong awareness of the entire Fortinet family of services and hardware.

They develop IT, we support IT

Through gaining an in-depth understanding of their technology, we resolve over 90% of Fortinet support calls in-house. As a result, our customers receive a faster more effective service from certified engineers, without needing to involve Fortinet European support.

Security management all year round

IT Lab takes the security threat to your systems extremely seriously. That’s why we have a dedicated Security Operations Centre (SOC) specifically designed to shore up your defences. Based in Birmingham, UK, it monitors the health, status, availability and security of managed Fortinets all day every day, for greater peace of mind.
