Bulletproof Achieves Fortinet Expert Partner Status and Expands Specializations

Fredericton, NB — December 16, 2025 — Bulletproof today announced it has advanced to Fortinet Expert Partner, the highest tier in the Fortinet Engage Partner Program. This achievement reflects Bulletproof’s deep technical expertise, proven customer success, and commitment to delivering world-class cybersecurity solutions across North America.

Achieving Fortinet Expert Partner status is more than a badge—it’s a strategic advantage for organizations seeking best-in-class cybersecurity. Here’s what it means for Bulletproof's customers: 
 

  • Highest level of recognition: Expert status is the top tier in Fortinet’s Engage Partner Program, reserved for partners with proven technical depth, advanced certifications, and a track record of delivering measurable outcomes. This ensures customers work with a partner trusted by Fortinet at the highest level. 
  • Comprehensive security coverage: Bulletproofs expertise spans OT, SASE, and Cloud Security, enabling them to protect critical infrastructure, hybrid networks, and cloud environments under one unified approach. 
  • Accelerated transformation: With advanced design and deployment capabilities, customers benefit from faster implementation of Fortinet solutions, optimized architectures, and reduced complexity—helping them achieve security and compliance goals without slowing innovation. 
  • Proven customer success: Expert designation reflects real-world performance. Our team has delivered projects that reduce mean time to detect and respond, consolidate security tools, and lower total cost of ownership—all while improving resilience against evolving threats. 
  • Future-ready partnership: As cyber threats grow more sophisticated, Bulletproof's alignment with Fortinet ensures customers gain access to cutting-edge technologies, ongoing innovation, and a partner committed to continuous improvement.
