Real Partner. Real Results. Fortinet And GDT In Action

As security demands become more complex, GDT is relying on its long-standing partnership with Fortinet to help customers modernize infrastructure and streamline operations. In this CRN Marketing Minute, Jeanne Malone, vice president of cybersecurity at GDT, discusses how the relationship has grown from a traditional resale model into a services-led strategy. That includes investments in professional services, managed offerings and large-scale rollouts, particularly within the service provider space, which now makes up nearly half of GDT’s business.

Malone highlights how Fortinet’s Security Fabric, custom chipset and commitment to integration have helped GDT support evolving customer needs. She also shares a recent success story involving a deployment across 17,000 retail locations. For partners navigating challenges like tool consolidation, cloud misconfigurations and AI risk, GDT’s experience shows how a strategic vendor relationship can drive stronger outcomes for both customers and the business.
