Optec, a provider of comprehensive cybersecurity solutions, today announced that it has achieved Operational Technology (OT) Specialization as part of Fortinet’s Engage Partner Program.

With the Operational Technology Specialization, Optec sales and technical teams have now a better understanding of OT best practices and requirements and gained expertise to deploy on its own a consistent and effective IT and OT security. Optec can help customers secure their converged IT-OT network to close OT security gaps in deploying Fortinet’s solutions, as a current (third party) independent Fortinet authorized reseller, to deliver visibility, control and behavioural analytics customers require.

In a fast-moving industry, specializations focused on market opportunities enabled by the Fortinet Engage Partner Program help partners be recognised and valued by current and potential customers as trusted partners who have the expertise, services and technologies they need to fulfil their business needs.

Stuart Harper, Director of Optec, said: “We’re incredibly proud to be recognised as one of only three providers in the UK to achieve Fortinet’s OT Specialization. OT is increasingly becoming a target for cybercriminals and this specialization reinforces our expertise and commitment in protecting critical infrastructure and industrial assets. As part of achieving OT specialist status, we now have a NSE7 certified network security engineer, as well access to further training, enablement and targeted solutions to help our customers secure their operational technology.”
