$FTNT Fortinet opens
$60M innovation hub in New York City, expands U.S. presence
Fortinet announced the opening of a new company-owned Innovation Hub in New York City. The new Innovation Hub will give customers and partners in the region greater access to Fortinet experts, hands-on technology demonstrations, executive briefings, and training. The expanded presence will also support closer engagement with organizations, including the financial services sector, as they navigate increasingly complex cybersecurity requirements. Representing an investment of more than
$60M, the facility underscores Fortinet's continued commitment to strategic markets and providing customers and partners with greater access to its cybersecurity expertise and resources.
The approximately 40,000-square-foot facility, which will support employees across several functions, including sales, is three times the size of Fortinet's previous New York City office. The New York City Innovation Hub will include a Fortinet Cloud point of presence, an Executive Briefing Center, a Cybersecurity Training Center, and energy-efficient infrastructure. The Fortinet Cloud point of presence builds on Fortinet's global point of presence network, expanding reach while accelerating investments in AI technology delivery. Powered by Fortinet's custom ASIC technology, the facility delivers high-performance security processing, an elevated user experience, and significant cost savings for customers.
Fortinet replaced aging electrical and mechanical infrastructure with equipment designed to higher energy-efficiency standards. The building will also use heat recovery from its data center to help heat other areas of the facility, part of Fortinet's broader sustainability efforts. The New York City location builds on Fortinet's growing network of Innovation Hubs worldwide, including Chicago, Atlanta, London, Sydney, and other strategic markets.
