A Reflection of the Trust and Collaboration We’ve Built Across the Public Sector.

We are delighted to announce we have been nominated for Fortinet’s Public Sector Partner of the Year 2025. This recognition is a testament not only to our technical capability, but more importantly to the strength of the partnerships we have built with our public sector customers.

What makes this nomination especially meaningful is the work behind it. We have had the privilege of advising, delivering, and continuing to support a wide range of public sector organisations, helping them strengthen their cyber resilience using Fortinet technologies. From SD‑WAN, SASE, and Next‑Generation Firewalls to Network Detection and Response (NDR) and SecOps solutions, we tailor end‑to‑end cyber defence to each environment no matter how complex and demanding the environment.

Enabling Better Visibility and Easier‑to‑Manage Security

A key focus for our customers is achieving a secure network that is not only robust, but also easy to manage and clearly visible. Through Fortinet Next‑Generation Firewalls, we have delivered secure network architectures that give teams far greater confidence in their security posture.

Clear, easily consumable views of logs and policies provide enhanced visibility across the network, enabling faster troubleshooting and smoother day‑to‑day operations. As a result, security teams can resolve issues more quickly and implement changes with confidence, significantly reducing the overhead on internal staff resources.

Proactive Threat Detection with Fortinet NDR

Using Fortinet Network Detection and Response (NDR), we have empowered customer security teams to detect, prioritise, investigate, hunt, and respond to threats across their entire network. By combining AI‑driven detection with expert analysis, NDR enables early identification of attacker behaviour—often before damage is done.

This capability allows teams to respond effectively across IT, OT, and IoT environments, helping to protect critical services while reducing the risk of disruption.

Shifting from Reactive to Proactive Security with FortiDeceptor

As part of the Fortinet SecOps Platform, FortiDeceptor plays a crucial role in detecting and responding to in‑network attacks such as stolen credential usage, lateral movement, man‑in‑the‑middle attacks, and ransomware.

By integrating FortiDeceptor into customers’ cybersecurity strategies, we have helped shift defences from a reactive stance to a proactive one. Intrusion‑based detection, enriched with contextual intelligence, enables earlier detection and faster, more informed response to sophisticated threats.

Expertise You Can Rely On

At the heart of everything we do is our phenomenal team of experts. They work tirelessly to keep our customers safe—taking the time to understand each organisation’s unique environment, challenges, and objectives, and recommending the technologies best suited to their needs. As a mid sized managed service provider, we have the benefit of being big enough to deliver on projects large and small, while being agile to our customers’ needs, small enough to care and truly committed to delivering security outcomes that make a difference.

Being nominated for Fortinet Public Sector Partner of the Year 2025 is an honour. Supporting our customers in protecting the services they deliver to the public is what truly drives us.
