You'll quickly see how the company combines FortiOS, Security Fabric, SP5 ASIC design, AI-driven security workflows, and partnerships like NVIDIA BlueField-3 DPU and Google Cloud to serve large enterprises, Fortune 100 and Global 2000 firms, OT and industrial buyers, and cloud users, while earning revenue from hardware, subscriptions, Unified SASE, SecOps, and recurring platform services against costs tied to R\u0026amp;D, ASIC and software development, manufacturing, sales, and support.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFortinet, Inc. - Canvas Business Model: Key Partnerships\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFortinet's partner structure depends on \u003cstrong\u003e400 Gbps\u003c\/strong\u003e NVIDIA BlueField-3 DPU integration and a channel model that transacts \u003cstrong\u003emore than 90%\u003c\/strong\u003e of billings through partners.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNVIDIA BlueField-3 DPU integration\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBlueField-3 is a data processing unit, or DPU, that moves networking and security work off the main CPU.

The financial point is clear: \u003cstrong\u003e$3.59 billion\u003c\/strong\u003e of fiscal 2024 revenue came from services, which was more than the \u003cstrong\u003e$2.37 billion\u003c\/strong\u003e from products. Service revenue made up \u003cstrong\u003e60.2%\u003c\/strong\u003e of total revenue, so the platform has to stay current through patches, feature releases, and compatibility updates. A static operating system would weaken renewals, reduce upgrade demand, and slow adoption of new security functions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDevelop ASICs and security software in-house\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFortinet keeps critical engineering inside the company instead of depending only on outside vendors. That matters because the business still generated \u003cstrong\u003e$2.37 billion\u003c\/strong\u003e of product revenue in fiscal 2024, so hardware performance and embedded software remain material. Fortinet was founded in \u003cstrong\u003e2000\u003c\/strong\u003e, which gives the company a long operating history for building specialized silicon and software together. In business model terms, that reduces dependence on third parties and keeps product control tied to margin and performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDeliver AI-driven security workflows\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAI-driven workflows sit inside the same recurring service base that produced \u003cstrong\u003e$3.59 billion\u003c\/strong\u003e of revenue in fiscal 2024. The key number is the revenue mix: \u003cstrong\u003e60.2%\u003c\/strong\u003e services and \u003cstrong\u003e39.8%\u003c\/strong\u003e products. That tells you AI is not a side project; it is part of the service engine that supports detection, triage, and response. If AI shortens response time or improves analyst productivity, it helps protect renewals and can support expansion in the service layer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRun threat intelligence and vulnerability research\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThreat intelligence and vulnerability research are core recurring activities because the service business depends on current security content. Fortinet's fiscal 2024 service revenue of \u003cstrong\u003e$3.59 billion\u003c\/strong\u003e shows how much value is tied to continuous detection updates, research, and response content rather than one-time device sales alone. The founding year, \u003cstrong\u003e2000\u003c\/strong\u003e, is relevant because it shows the company has had decades to build a repeatable research-and-release process. In practical terms, research protects revenue by keeping the platform relevant against new threats.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eManufacture and supply network security hardware\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHardware manufacturing is still a major operating activity because product revenue reached \u003cstrong\u003e$2.37 billion\u003c\/strong\u003e in fiscal 2024. That means procurement, assembly, testing, inventory planning, and shipping are all part of the business model. The hardware side also feeds the service side: appliances create the installed base that later renews into subscriptions and support.

That matters because security teams spend less time stitching tools together and more time enforcing one policy model across users, devices, applications, and locations.

Secure networking covers branches, campuses, data centers, and edge sites. Unified SASE combines secure access and cloud-delivered controls for remote users and distributed applications.
