Veterans Program

Transitioning our military community to careers in cybersecurity

Creating a Diverse, Highly-Skilled Cybersecurity Workforce

Military veterans are by nature problem-solvers who understand the importance of maintaining a strong defense posture and following the chain of command when dealing with an active threat. The Fortinet Veterans Program works to fill the cybersecurity skills gap by helping facilitate the transition of military service members, veterans, and military spouses into the cybersecurity industry.

  • Introductions to employer partners, including Fortinet and its partners, distributors, and customers.

Careers in Cybersecurity

When individuals exit the military, they often don’t have the social network necessary to find employment in the private sector. The Fortinet Veterans Program helps prepare members for a role in cybersecurity, develop the necessary skills, expand their networks, and connect with employer partners who are actively looking for cybersecurity professionals.
