Growing ecosystem of Engage Preferred Services Partners gives Australian organisations greater access to validated Fortinet implementation expertise
September 1, 2026 – Fortinet® ,the global cybersecurity leader driving the convergence of networking and security, has announced continued momentum for its Engage Preferred Services Partner (EPSP) program in Australia, with Data Haus, Seccom Global, and Wavelink recently achieving EPSP accreditation. The growing ecosystem of accredited partners gives Australian organisations greater access to validated Fortinet implementation expertise and strengthens Fortinet’s ongoing investment in partner capability.
The EPSP is an exclusive, invitation-only accreditation for partners, recognising organisations that demonstrate advanced technical expertise, proven delivery capabilities, and an ongoing investment in Fortinet technologies. Globally, fewer than one per cent of Fortinet partners have achieved EPSP status, reflecting the program’s highly selective nature.
As organisations continue to modernise their networks, adopt hybrid environments, and strengthen cyber resilience, demand is growing for partners with the proven expertise to design, deploy, and support increasingly complex security environments. The expansion of Australia’s EPSP ecosystem gives customers greater choice and recognises partners that have invested in developing highly skilled engineering teams and advanced delivery capabilities.
John Milionis, Director, Channel and Distribution, Australia, Fortinet, said, “Fortinet is seeing strong momentum behind EPSP in Australia as more partners invest in building the technical expertise needed to achieve this accreditation.
“EPSP is far more than a certification. It recognises organisations that have made a long-term commitment to developing highly skilled engineering teams and delivering consistently strong customer outcomes. As more organisations adopt increasingly sophisticated cybersecurity architectures, customers want confidence that they’re working with partners that have proven technical capability and real-world delivery experience.
“The addition of Data Haus, Seccom Global, and Wavelink strengthens Australia’s ecosystem of EPSP partners, giving customers greater access to trusted implementation expertise and supporting Fortinet’s continued growth across the region.”
For Data Haus, achieving EPSP status reflects a strategic investment in expanding its specialist Fortinet capabilities and supporting customers with complex cybersecurity projects.
Laura Ogden, Director, Data Haus, said, “Achieving EPSP accreditation validates the investment we’ve made in building deep Fortinet expertise across our engineering team. It gives customers confidence that they’re working with a partner that has demonstrated the technical capability required to deliver complex cybersecurity environments and supports our continued growth alongside Fortinet.”
For Seccom Global, EPSP accreditation represents the next chapter in a relationship with Fortinet spanning more than two decades.
Michael Demery, Managing Director, Seccom Global, said, “Fortinet has been at the centre of Seccom Global’s business since we started more than 20 years ago, making EPSP accreditation a natural progression for our organisation. It recognises the depth of expertise our engineers have developed over many years of delivering Fortinet solutions and supports our commitment to helping customers achieve the best possible outcomes from their cybersecurity investments.”
As a Fortinet distributor, Wavelink’s accreditation further strengthens its ability to support partners delivering increasingly sophisticated customer deployments across Australia.
Nick Touzeau, Chief Operations Officer, Wavelink, said, “Wavelink has been working towards EPSP accreditation for several years because we recognised the value it would bring to our partners. Distribution today is about much more than moving products. Partners need access to highly skilled technical specialists who can work alongside them on complex implementations. EPSP validates that capability and reinforces our commitment to supporting the Australian Fortinet partner community.”
Fortinet’s continued investment in its EPSP program is strengthening Australia’s cybersecurity services ecosystem. Building on the foundation established by IP.Glass as the country’s inaugural EPSP partner, the addition of Data Haus, Seccom Global, and Wavelink expands customers’ access to accredited Fortinet delivery expertise and reinforces Fortinet’s partner-led strategy and commitment to technical excellence.
