Fortinet® – the pioneer and leading provider of unified threat management (UTM) solutions – today announced that IDC research data confirms that the company ranked No. 1 for worldwide UTM revenue for 2006. Additionally, in line with Fortinet’s objectives to grow in the high-end market, IDC data confirmed that in Q4 2006, Fortinet experienced significant quarter over quarter growth in shipments of its high-end security systems.

Charles Cote, Country Manager for Fortinet Australia commented, “The most common IT security threats today are multi-threat attacks, which require sophisticated integration and management of security measures. We believe that Australian businesses will follow global trends, and rapidly retire their existing standalone security solutions, and deploy Unified Threat Management solutions in 2007.”

Data in IDC’s Worldwide Quarterly Security Appliance Tracker, Q4 2006, which also includes data for 2006, indicated:

* Fortinet is the overall leader in UTM factory revenue for all of 2006 and Q4 2006, ahead of SonicWall, Juniper, Cisco and Crossbeam.

* In Q4 2006, shipments of Fortinet’s high-end systems in the ($100K-$249.9K) price band segments for Q4 2006, grew significantly quarter over quarter.
