Fortinet commemorated its 25th anniversary since its founding in 2000, celebrating a quarter-century of delivering the world’s most trusted and validated cybersecurity solutions, a milestone acknowledged with gratitude toward the Nasdaq for its recognition.
Under the leadership of co-founders Ken Xie and Michael Xie, the San Francisco Bay Area-based company has grown to serve over 890,000 customers globally, reporting a robust $1.778 billion in billings for Q2 2025, underpinned by a portfolio of more than 50 enterprise-grade products and a staggering 1,401 global patents as of June 30, 2025.
The occasion highlights Fortinet’s unwavering commitment to innovation, evidenced by the shipment of 14.7 million units and inclusion in over 130 analyst reports, solidifying its position as an industry leader with a strong management team and strategic advisory council guiding its global influence.
At the heart of Fortinet’s success is the Fortinet Security Fabric, an AI-driven unified platform that redefines cybersecurity through three core solutions: secure networking, security operations, and universal Secure Access Service Edge (SASE), addressing the complexities of modern networks and hybrid applications with flexible consumption models.
