Fortinet
Over two decades as a Fortinet Advanced Partner, delivering enterprise-grade network security, SD-WAN, and next-generation firewalls to businesses across Canada.
BALANCED+ has been a Fortinet Advanced Partner since 2003, one of the first in Ontario. For over two decades, we have deployed, managed, and optimized Fortinet Security Fabric solutions for businesses ranging from mid-market firms to enterprise organizations across the Greater Toronto Area.
Our team holds multiple Fortinet NSE certifications and has deep expertise across the full Fortinet portfolio: FortiGate next-generation firewalls, FortiSwitch managed switches, FortiAP wireless access points, FortiAnalyzer log analytics, FortiManager centralized management, FortiEDR endpoint detection and response, and FortiSIEM security information and event management. Whether you are securing a single office or a multi-site SD-WAN deployment, BALANCED+ designs and manages Fortinet solutions tailored to your business.
Fortinet SD-WAN is a game-changer for organizations with multiple locations across the GTA and beyond. By consolidating routing, security, and WAN optimization into FortiGate appliances, BALANCED+ helps clients reduce MPLS costs by up to 60% while improving application performance for cloud services like Microsoft 365, Salesforce, and ERP platforms. Our SD-WAN deployments include application-aware routing, traffic shaping, and built-in next-generation firewall security, all managed through a single pane of glass.
For organizations that need around-the-clock protection, our managed Fortinet services include 24/7 SOC monitoring, firmware lifecycle management, threat intelligence updates via FortiGuard subscriptions, and policy optimization. BALANCED+ handles the complexity so your internal IT team can focus on strategic initiatives rather than firewall administration.
As an Advanced Partner, we provide direct access to Fortinet engineering resources, priority support escalation, and competitive licensing, saving our clients time and money while ensuring their infrastructure stays protected against evolving cyber threats.
