Fortinet appoints country manager for PH

Fortinet, provider of cybersecurity solutions, has appointed Mario Luis Castaneda (Louie) to lead Fortinet Philippines as Country Manager. Castaneda has three decades of experience in the IT industry and will take charge of Fortinet’s overall business operations, growing market share in the Philippines.

Prior to Fortinet, Castaneda has worked in senior sales and channel management roles in global technology companies like Microsoft, IBM, Oracle and Fujitsu. He was also Country Manager of Cisco Philippines. A licensed electronics engineer, Castaneda has engaged in systems and network engineering, IT planning and design, presales and technical consulting earlier in his career.

New and more advanced threats are emerging every day.

Fortinet’s Security Fabric architecture foundation enables the vendor to deliver a broad portfolio of advanced solutions to organisations, helping businesses secure their networks and gain competitive advantage.

“This is an exciting time to join Fortinet,” said Castaneda. “In the Philippines and globally, there are tremendous opportunities to drive greater cybersecurity demand and adoption with the unique value propositions offered by our Security Fabric.”
