Military veterans are by nature problem-solvers who understand the importance of maintaining a strong defense posture and following the chain of command when dealing with an active threat. As part of Fortinet's Education Outreach program, the Fortinet Veterans program works to fill the cybersecurity skills gap by helping facilitate the transition of military service members, veterans, and military spouses into the cybersecurity industry. The program has a presence in the US, Canada, UK, and Australia as well as having a reach throughout the world with our network of partners.

When individuals exit the military, they may not have the social network necessary to find employment in the private sector. The Fortinet Veterans program works to connect these individuals with our partners who can help prepare them for a role in cybersecurity, develop their skills and expand their networks.
The Fortinet Veterans program has been updated to provide additional benefits to veterans and their spouses. This includes introducing a progressive pathway to Fortinet Certified Professional certifications, providing access to Fortinet’s new Networking Fundamentals course, and working more closely with partners who offer career development services for veterans.
