FORTINET SECURITY AND NETWORKING SOLUTIONS
Ensure Your Infrastructure is a Resilient Business Enabler
Our experience spans FortiGate, FortiOS, SD-WAN, FortiSASE, FortiManager, FortiAnalyzer, FortiClient EMS, IPsec VPN, routing, cloud integration, and enterprise security infrastructure.
SecureOps brings expertise in designing, implementing, migrating, and operating enterprise-scale Fortinet security and networking solutions. We help our customers build resilient infrastructure that serves as an invisible, high-performance business enabler.
Through progressive customer initiatives, we’ve expanded our role from traditional Run & Maintain services to end-to-end Fortinet solution design that enables transformative infrastructure security.
One customer sums up the value contributed to their Fortinet initiative, stating:
“Adopting Fortinet introduced a new technology for our internal team. We needed a partner with deep, hands-on expertise to support the transition. SecureOps acted as that bridge... This gave our internal engineers the time to build their own competency with the solution while ensuring that 24/7/365 management never faltered during the learning curve.
“We also derive long-term value from the strength of SecureOps' industry standing. As a recognized global MSSP partner of Fortinet, SecureOps brings top-tier engineering influence and early access to technology roadmaps.
“This synergy ensures that our connectivity architecture is always built on industry-leading standards. We benefit from a partner that is competent with our chosen technology, and a recognized leader in managing it at scale. That expertise protects us from technology obsolescence and ensures we are leveraging the full capability of our security stack.”
SD-WAN Onboarding & Transformation
Objective: Manage the initial Fortinet firewall configuration and SD-WAN onboarding, reducing the risk of configuration gaps, inconsistencies, or outdated configurations being handed over between providers.
Enterprise VPN Gateway Solutions – Australia & SLC
Objective: Deploy a regional VPN gateway in Australia while maintaining the existing global VPN architecture. In parallel, address a requirement for a local VPN gateway for the SLC site.
Network Transformation – MPLS/MAN to Internet
Objective: Proactively remove the dependency on the MAN infrastructure, introduce alternative Internet connectivity, and redesign routing while maintaining connectivity to critical sites
SSL-VPN to IPsec Migration
Objective: provide the solutioning and planning required to transition from SSL-VPN to IPsec in a controlled and scalable manner for 16,000+ users.
ADVPN 1.0 to ADVPN 2.0 Migration – EMEA/US
Objective: Network modernization strategy to transition from ADVPN 1.0 to ADVPN 2.0 to address limitations and complexity associated with the existing architecture and take advantage of the enhanced path-management, edge-discovery, and SD-WAN integration capabilities.
GLOBAL BIOTECH
SD-WAN Onboarding & Transformation
Problem / Objective:
A global biotechnology company historically relied on a third party to perform SD-WAN onboarding and initial firewall configuration, while SecureOps provided Run & Maintain services. The customer wanted to consolidate to a single service provider already familiar with the environment.
The objective was to have SecureOps manage both the initial Fortinet firewall configuration and SD-WAN onboarding, reducing the risk of configuration gaps, inconsistencies, or outdated configurations being handed over between providers.
SecureOps Solution:
SecureOps successfully delivered an initial SD-WAN Proof of Concept, establishing the technical approach and demonstrating the ability to independently onboard Fortinet firewalls. Following the successful POC, SecureOps went on to deliver multiple additional SD-WAN onboardings.

What Our Customer Says:
“To date, SecureOps has successfully onboarded a significant number of SD-WAN sites and integrated numerous secondary lines, providing the redundancy necessary for our global sites. This transformation ensures that even if a primary circuit fails, our business remains operational with minimal impact on latency or productivity.”
DIAGNOSTICS COMPANY
Enterprise VPN Gateway Solutions – Australia & SLC
Problem / Objective:
A global diagnostics company’s users in Australia were experiencing high latency because their nearest available VPN gateway was located in Singapore.
The objective was to deploy a regional VPN gateway in Australia to improve connectivity and user experience while maintaining the existing global VPN architecture. In parallel, SLC hosts a significant portion of the customer's bio/fire infrastructure, creating a requirement for a local VPN gateway to provide efficient, lower-latency access to those resources.
SecureOps Solution:
Solving the problem required designing and deploying Fortinet VPN gateway solutions in multiple environments, integrating new VPN capabilities into existing infrastructure and security domains.

Note: For Australia, we implemented a dedicated VPN gateway to improve connectivity for Australian users while maintaining the existing VPN architecture for users in other regions. For SLC, SecureOps integrated VPN gateway functionality into the existing FortiGate infrastructure as part of the broader SD-WAN deployment.
What Our Customer Says:
“We outsourced the specialized management of 107 firewalls (Fortinet and Palo Alto) and VPN (FortiClient) along with SD-WAN onboarding to SecureOps. SecureOps established a progressive, cooperative relationship with our Network Operations Center (NOC), enabling our VPN services to operate with maximum efficiency. Doing so eliminated the operational drag that once slowed our teams and moved us from reactive firefighting to proactive execution.”
LIFE SCIENCES COMPANY
Network Transformation – MPLS/MAN to Internet
Problem / Objective:
An in vitro diagnostics company faced significant business continuity risk due to concerns its MAN provider could shut down unexpectedly. Several critical European sites relied heavily on MAN connectivity with critical traffic traversing these links.
The objective was to proactively remove the dependency on the MAN infrastructure, introduce alternative Internet connectivity, and redesign routing while maintaining connectivity to critical sites and minimizing the risk of an unplanned outage.

What Our Customer Says:
“We chose SecureOps to regain control over our connectivity and remove the operational bottlenecks limiting our global scale. Our legacy model—built on costly MPLS circuits and restricted firewall access—couldn’t support the speed, distribution, or visibility the business needed.”
ONGOING FORTINET PROJECT
SSL-VPN to IPsec Migration – 16,000+ Users
Problem / Objective:
A global customer currently has Fortinet SSL-VPN deployed for more than 16,000 users. With SSL-VPN no longer supported in the target FortiOS 7.6 environment, the customer needs to transition to an alternative remote-access technology to maintain secure connectivity for its large user population.
The objective is to provide the solutioning and planning required to transition from SSL-VPN to IPsec in a controlled and scalable manner. Given the scale of 16,000+ users, the migration requires careful planning to minimize user disruption and ensure a controlled transition.
SecureOps Progress:
The initiative is currently in solutioning and planning phase, with SecureOps working through:
- Existing SSL-VPN environment assessment
- IPsec VPN solution design
- FortiClient configuration and integration requirements
- Authentication and identity considerations
- User migration strategy
- Security policy requirements
- Connectivity and performance considerations
- Phased migration and rollout approach
- Testing and validation strategy
ONGOING FORTINET PROJECT
ADVPN 1.0 to ADVPN 2.0 Migration – EMEA & US
Problem / Objective:
A global customer currently operates Fortinet ADVPN 1.0 across multiple regions. As part of the customer's network modernization strategy, SecureOps is evaluating the transition to ADVPN 2.0 to address limitations and complexity associated with the existing architecture and take advantage of the enhanced path-management, edge-discovery, and SD-WAN integration capabilities available with ADVPN 2.0. Fortinet specifically describes ADVPN 2.0 as a redesigned architecture intended to overcome limitations and complexities of ADVPN 1.0.
SecureOps Progress:
SecureOps has already:
- Assessed the existing ADVPN 1.0 environment
- Designed the proposed ADVPN 2.0 solution
- Conducted the required technical solutioning and validation
- Successfully completed a Proof of Concept (POC)
- Validated the proposed architecture and implementation approach
The POC was successfully completed, and the initiative is now in the planning phase for production deployment across the EMEA, APAC and US regions.
