Fortinet, a provider of broad, integrated and automated cybersecurity solutions, has moved to a larger office in Riyadh to better address customers’ needs and leverage the area’s diverse high-technology talent pool. The company moved from Riyadh — Business Gate C7 to the new tower in Business Gate C2. The new office space is approximately 2,500 square feet, which makes it four times larger than the previous office and will house more than 30 employees.
Fortinet also assigned a new country manager for Saudi Arabia, Sami Alshwairakh, to lead its business operations in line with the Kingdom’s Vision 2030. The company aims to further advance its efforts to close the cybersecurity skills gap and address the talent shortage in the country by working with academic institutions and providing them Fortinet’s NSE certification curricula to prepare students for a career in cybersecurity.
“This move reflects our commitment to the country and our continued momentum. The new office space better accommodates our team and enables us to evolve as needed to provide industry-leading solutions, support and service to our Saudi clients. We are glad to be part of this initiative by bringing our expertise in cybersecurity to the Kingdom,” said Alain Penel, vice president at Fortinet, Middle East.
