Licence extensions are still possible, but are only available with a 1-year term. In addition, the licences can only be booked until the end-of-support date. If you have any questions, we will be happy to advise you.
There have also been changes to the licences. Fortinet has adapted the content of the 360 Protection, making it more attractive.
The 360 Protection licence now includes the Fortinet SOCaaS - Security Operations Center as a Service. With this you get a managed service that monitors your network around the clock and can proactively make recommendations for the security of your infrastructure. In the event of an emergency, you would also have security experts directly at your side with their expertise.
If you are interested in a security solution from Fortinet, you can contact us by phone, email or our contact form.
