complexity and cost.
Sencinet Announces
Expansion of its Secure SD-WAN Managed Service Powered by Fortinet, a World
Leader in Comprehensive, Integrated and Automated Cybersecurity Solutions,
Offering Organizations Networking and Security in a single converged solution
with high added value for customers.
SD-WAN enables organizations of all sizes to enhance the
user and application experience while enabling the flexibility and cost
benefits of a hybrid network.
Network transformation through SD-WAN leads to a broader
attack surface, which means that traditional perimeter-based security is
insufficient. Organizations that have chosen to solve this problem by
overlaying security as an afterthought are finding that they have introduced
unnecessary cost, complexity, and cyber risk into their network.

that the agreement will allow the two companies to expand the potential of
operations in the continent, providing the development of a portfolio of
high-performance services, with competitive costs and security at the same

founded as a result of the acquisition of BT's (British Telecommunications)
national Latin American operations by CIH Group, a global private equity firm
based in Washington, D.C. and Singapore. "With the capillarity of
facilities spread across virtually every country in the region and a network of
thousands of ISP partners, Sencinet will be able to distribute kits containing
Fortinet solutions throughout the region," he says.
Sencinet's Sales Director for the Southern Cone, Víctor
Cucut, comments that the beginning of the alliance with Fortinet in Argentina
is due to the identification of a series of conditions considered ideal in the
country for an accelerated joint business expansion. "We are already in advanced
negotiations with a significant number of companies from the most diverse
sectors. I believe that we will soon have the opportunity to develop
negotiation models that can be exported to other LATAM countries where we are
present," he says.
To help address the scale and variety of cyber threats that
continue to grow at an alarming rate, with more than 91 billion attempted cyber
attacks reported in Latin America and the Caribbean in the first half of 2021,
the service provider will improve also its managed firewall service with the
addition of Fortinet's Secure SD-WAN, providing organizations with a solution
that completely combines security and connectivity in a single device.
