The Fortinet Training Institute has received industry recognition that reflects Fortinet’s commitment to cybersecurity training and certification, as well as closing the cybersecurity skills gap. This includes an ongoing investment in programs and a pledge to train 1 million people in cybersecurity by the end of 2026, with a focus on delivering best-in-class training and certification.
In 2004, Fortinet introduced its first certification program, which included the designations Fortinet Certified Network Security Administrator (FCNSA) and Fortinet Certified Network Security Professional (FCNSP). Since then, the Fortinet Network Security Expert (NSE) Certification program has evolved to focus on role-based training aligned to in-demand careers, such as cloud security specialists and network security engineers—identified in the Fortinet Skills Gap Global Research report as among the most needed cybersecurity skills. These latest enhancements, introduced in October 2023, provide multiple certification options to better target specific areas of expertise.
The ecosystem supporting this program has also evolved from a small number of Authorized Training Centers (ATCs) to a global network in more than 150 countries and territories, with more than 800 academic partners and a growing number of select nonprofit organizations.
While the ever-evolving threat landscape has driven the need for the Fortinet NSE certification program to expand, the quality of the program is a direct result of continued corporate investment as well as the long-standing dedication of our curriculum development team: members of the Fortinet Training Institute, many of our Fortinet Certified Trainers (FCTs), and ATCs. Our curriculum development team takes the lead on the program’s development. Still, several FCTs have been teaching Fortinet courses since the start of the program and have driven many enhancements over the years.
In addition to certification opportunities, Fortinet also offers its Security Awareness and Training service, a SaaS-based offering, that delivers timely and current awareness training for organizations of all shapes and sizes on today’s cybersecurity threats. The service helps IT, security, and compliance leaders build a cyber-aware culture where employees, at all levels of the organization, recognize and avoid falling victim to cyberattacks. For compliance-sensitive organizations, the service also helps satisfy regulatory or industry compliance training requirements. The Fortinet Security Awareness and Training service features engaging and interactive content delivered in a variety of formats, periodic quizzes and knowledge checks, up-to-date dashboards of campaign and user activity, an intuitive interface, and the ability to co-brand and customize the program.
As part of Fortinet's commitment to train 1 million people by 2026, the Fortinet Training Institute has created an education-focused version of its Security Awareness and Training service and has made it available for free to primary and secondary schools.
As part of Fortinet’s goal to provide the best cybersecurity training and certification initiatives, the industry recently honored and validated these efforts through a series of awards. The Fortinet Training Institute has been recognized with the following:
The demand for cybersecurity talent will only increase, and the competition among organizations for qualified professionals will grow even fiercer. Training plays a critical role in helping current security professionals grow in their careers and attracting new talent to the field, enabling them to keep up with the latest threat tactics and security technology while ultimately protecting organizations worldwide.
