SUNNYVALE, Calif., June 12, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — <\/p>\n

\n John Maddison, EVP Products and CMO at Fortinet\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0
\u201cThe solutions organizations deploy today are becoming more flexible to support\u00a0highly distributed users and applications. Licensing models should be just as flexible. That\u2019s why we\u2019re excited to expand our FortiFlex program to give customers more licensing options to utilize Fortinet solutions and services according to their evolving needs.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n News Summary <\/strong>\u00a0 \u00a0
Fortinet<\/a>\u00ae<\/sup> (NASDAQ: FTNT), the global cybersecurity leader driving the convergence of networking and security, today announced new product and service additions to its FortiFlex<\/a> program, delivering even more flexible licensing options to customers. FortiFlex already includes a complete suite of virtualized solutions for protecting cloud and virtual data center deployments and now supports services for physical FortiGate next-generation firewall (NGFW) appliances<\/a>.

\n Driving Business Value with Usage-Based Licensing<\/strong>\u00a0
With highly distributed users accessing highly distributed applications and a growing number of edges, networks are evolving at an unprecedented rate. IT teams are often expected to\u00a0procure and deploy solutions before they have a full understanding of their needs\u2014and those needs frequently change. Flexible licensing programs, which allow organizations\u00a0to pay by usage, have emerged as a solution to this challenge. While there will always be a need for traditional product licensing models,\u00a0usage-based pricing offers customers an additional way to leverage the solutions they need and adapt to their business\u2019 dynamic needs.<\/p>\n

\n FortiFlex: Flexible Access to Cybersecurity\u00a0Solutions<\/strong>\u00a0
FortiFlex offers usage-based licensing for a wide range of Fortinet\u2019s\u00a0cybersecurity solutions across cloud, hybrid cloud, and on-premises deployments. It uses a points system that makes it easy to understand available balance, usage trends, and total spend. Organizations are charged in 24-hour periods to give IT teams the flexibility to right-size their deployments each day.<\/p>\n

Customers can use points to deploy any mix of cloud and virtual machine offerings as well as services for on-premises deployments. They can even leverage budget committed to select cloud providers\u2014including Google Cloud<\/a> and, as of today, AWS\u2014to purchase FortiFlex points.\u202f\u202f\u00a0<\/p>\n
