Vancouver Canucks Announces Fortinet as Its Preferred Partner

Vancouver Canucks and Fortinet today announced that Fortinet has become the new Preferred Partner for the 2024–2025 season. Canucks Sports & Entertainment (CSE) has chosen Fortinet’s industry-leading Security Fabric platform to reduce complexity and streamline the identification and remediation of network and security issues across the group’s facilities.

CSE is one of the premier sports and entertainment companies in North America. In support of their goal to create inspiring moments and unforgettable experiences for their fans, CSE has deployed several Fortinet solutions at its central data center to help secure the Rogers Arena, home to NHL Vancouver Canucks and its fans, the Canucks Training Camp facilities, and the eSports team Vancouver Surge.

The Fortinet Security Fabric Wins Over Vancouver Canucks 
The Fortinet Security Fabric platform and Fortinet’s unique ability to converge networking and security help organizations like CSE reduce management complexity by consolidating siloed security tools, increasing visibility, improving performance, and decreasing the mean time to detect and respond to security incidents.

The Canucks’s implementation includes a central FortiGate Next-Generation Firewall (NGFW) cluster at its data center to protect and segment its network and build a Secure SD-WAN platform to simplify, accelerate, and secure communications between locations. Supported by the Fortinet Security Fabric platform, CSE has a single pane of glass to help consolidate management, visibility, analytics, and control for the entire environment.

Fortinet Leads the Cybersecurity Evolution in Canada
Fortinet has a long history of investing in Canada over the last 20 years. With more than 2,600 employees and over $200 million in infrastructure investments across Canada, including a regional data center, offices, a security operations center, and center of research and development excellence, Fortinet has been dedicated to protecting Canadian enterprises, nonprofits, educational institutions, and government agencies. 

Fortinet also remains steadfast in its commitment to close the cybersecurity skills gap and has pledged to train 1 million people globally by 2026 through its award-winning Training Institute program.
