>> live from Orlando, Florida It's the que covering Accelerate nineteen. Brought to you by Ford. >> Hey, welcome back to the Cube. We are live at forty nine. Accelerate twenty nineteen in noisy Orlando, Florida, and Lisa Martin welcoming to Guest to the program one you know and love Well, John Madison, the executive vice president of Products and Solutions at fourteen. That and gentle Mary, please toe also welcome Peter Jogger, the vice president of business development from Symantec. Welcome back. Welcome. >> Thank you. >> So, guys, Partnerships, symbiotic partnerships. We've been talking about partnerships all day. Now we want to talk about what's new? Fortinet and semantic. You guys just announced a couple months ago an expansive partnership. Peter, let's go ahead and start with you. You guys just like we're gonna partner to deliver the most robust and comprehensive cloud security service. Why did semantic decide to partner and collaborate with forty minutes and why now? >> Absolutely. So when we think about what our customers they're going through, they're going through a digital transformation to Billy to the cloud on DH. We wanted to make sure that we perform the best possible technology for our customers. We chose fortunate way were great partners. Actually, before this whole thing started, we looked the technology that they had to offer repaired it with what we had in our Web security service. There was a fantastic fit, and so far with the show today and accelerate, we made the right choice. >> That's always good, right to get some validation there talks to us about the from from Maybe from a customer's perspective, what were some of the drivers saying, Hey, guys, this partnership could be really beneficial for your doing part. Customers, partners and each company. Yeah, well, they think it's >> a very expensive relationship. Peter just talked about having our next year firewall inside their cloud, providing security there. There's also opportunity at the end point for sound. Full semantic is the largest endpoint hundred seventy five million or something. In points out, there were the largest network security vendor in terms of implementation. Some four million firewalls out there what customs they're saying they want their security solutions to work together there, one the end point to see the network. They want the networks to the end point one exchange information, so one of the other integration points is between the end point on our next generation firewalls providing policy exchange, providing the ability to exchange information. So if I'm a large customer and I've got a very all encompassing degree off implementation ofthe semantic endpoint separate think it's called on DH, they've got Fortinet taken. Simply connect those two together, provide a very comprehensive solution. So we get some great feedback from our customers around them. >> Talk to me a little bit more about that. Are you seeing this adoption on? You know, both semantic and forty eight have customers in every industry of many sizes, but in terms of some of the successes that you're seeing, I know this is still really early on. What are some of those that really excite you? That, like Peter, you said we've made the right choice. >> Yeah, I'll just follow on from a comment you made Whether you're a medium size customer, the largest financial customer, security is a very tough thing to solve on. What you don't do is add complexity to that problem. You also wanna make sure you don't cost as well. So the really cool thing we're doing here is through the collaboration through the integrations that John spoke about between the employment network and secure rst. One of the fabric we're actually solving those problems in very intuitive ways is seamless for the customer. It just clicks together. That's what it should be like. We don't have any complexity here, and that's you know, that's what we're doing this, right? >> Yeah, and I think, think for customers Every time they need toe, add a security solution, it makes more complex. It's more costs, more operational overhead. So if they've got existing vendors like Semantic at the end, point off a cloud security and they've got Fortinet in there for SD when our next fire war, if >> we could >> simply switch on the connectivity policy exchange threat, intelligent exchange between those two things is great for the customer because they instantly get a better solution is more secure. It's more cost effective, >> of course, customers. You mentioned you guys both mentioned a couple of words that every customer wants seamless wanted to click in kind of plug and play. Obviously, it's it's a cut ostensible undertaking to integrate your solutions talked to us since this was just announced a few months ago. Where are you in terms of integrating the technologies. I think we saw the next Gen firewall integrated into semantics. Web security service and semantics. Endpoint solutions integrated into the security fabric. Where are you guys on the faces of those integrations? >> Well, let people talk about the WSSC. >> Yes, eso I think one big yellow into this as I just mentioned Wass Web security service. We have data centers around the planet on what we're doing is we're taking the virtual Forget solutions were installing them. Now in all of our data pods Andi were in the We're starting the rollout phase this summer. Andi will be probably finished done with it as we get into the fall season around the planet and we'LL be switching that that that on and they really cool bit about This is it's going to be one single interface. The customer just simply switches on five walling i ps Next one firewall. It's completely seamless >> from a management perspective policy upside looking through one crystal ball, >> one cloud security says service. >> Yes, on the end points mourners to develop. So we have to develop this connector of our election and firewall into the end point. And we're looking probably toward the end of this port early Q three. To do that on we'LL start rolling that out across are different operating systems. >> Talk to me about part about the channel, so I know forty nine is very much dedicated to the channel we've had with a number of your partner's on. I know you've Got John both coming up next and Facebooking with him for several years. Saw a lot of statistics, a lot of revenue growth, front of growth, affording that driven by the channel. One of the main kind of pillars that was discussed in the keynotes this morning was education. Talked about technology, talked about equal system collaboration. Education. How are you guys working together to educate your joint partners? Teo. Understand that the impact potential that Fortinet and Cemented customers are about to have? >> Yeah, from a training perspective. Obviously we have our own individual training programs, and as I was saying earlier, I think one thing that's very important to customers is more of an architectural approach. I want to look at an architecture of a four or five years. I don't make sure all these pieces are integrated inside there, so one of things we do initially for something, something like this for our partners. This produced boats are fast track. A fast track is a small module. Off training was focused on hands on training off both components to make sure that all our partners understand how to integrate. How to make that work as soon as possible. Then, before I followed that up with some more detailed training on on both solutions. >> Excellent. And from a relative perspective, this is something that's going to be going global by the way it's >> gonna go fast. It's going to start next week. So and the nice thing is when we map out our channel party because semantic is a channel very channel friendly company as well. We've got some great overlap, but there's also a ton of white space there for a partner, too. So I think it's going to really help both, obviously, our fields, but also our channel partners engaged, group broader and grow deeper into opportunities, >> and we need that. Security is a pan industry challenge, as every organization now lives and successful lives in this hybrid multi cloud world, millions of connected devices every industry has to react otherwise every business in every industry. Otherwise they face going out of business. I noticed that, though, that there were a couple of tracks here. John. Some sessions focused on a couple of verticals healthcare financial services. Retail, for example. Are you expecting to see any leading edge industries joint customers that really are ripe for this integrated solution? >> Maybe. But I also think that smacked. It's got a huge footprint across all the verticals across all the segments, the same as us. And so I think initially, you'LL see some of the larger companies who have these huge footprints of M points and network security. Implement these connectors, implement the cloud security and, as you see that roll down into the segments as well. >> So we're at the event today in the last couple days. What is that? Some of the feedback been from partners, but from also and user customers. Since there's about about four thousand people here today, John, what are some of the things that you're hearing? >> Well, we've been talking to some of our customers before here, obviously on DH overwhelmingly positive feedback from the large customers I spoke to some partners to hear today as well. They really like the ability to bring together on M point leading edge endpoint solution on network solution with cloud attached to it as well. So it's not often, actually I've done a partner announcement and I've seen so much excitement, not only with some of our some of the customers, all the customers on all the partners, but also both organizations. We announced it to ourselves. Organizations were doing that with semantics later on. That's right this week and I see a lot of excitement. So I think that bodes well going forward. >> And I imagine, Peter, you're hearing similar feedback from semantics and Sol days. >> Yeah, I mean, it's just been tremendous. This show for me has cemented the fact this is gonna be a very special partnership. The feedback I've been hearing from potential customers, our own customers coming to us, who say, Hey, I've got these solutions. It's fantastic. You doing this now to our partners saying, You know, this is this is truly amazing what you're doing it is very rare. You find these two companies that could come together in a meaningful way that can actually really impact what we're all trying to do here is find the adversary. >> Yeah, I mean, you look at that. Both companies that are big companies Cyrus critic companies think semantics. Probably enterprise in the top two. Top Juan we're in the top five easy, huge companies on our footprints. From a part of perspective is a bit of overlap here and there, but not really. Which makes is exciting, I think, for our partners for both companies, I think, yes, we you know, I see these relationships where it's a local exchange or we'LL do a bit of this integration on this AP I hear this is a truly very integrate solution for both our channel partners on our customers. >> And let's talk about competition that came up a lot during the general session this morning where just a few times a few people mentioned it, you know, in past saying on giant slides with arrows pointing, No, I'm kidding, but really what? What was very clear, I think, from not only the general session this morning, but also somatic that we've heard on the Cube today is the industry leadership, the product leadership that forty nine is demonstrating, but also, you know, telephoto networks Cisco some of your other competitors where really proudly showing this is where we are in relation even so far as the number of Gardner Insight partner appearance I reviews that Fortinet has gotten vs your competitors. So let's start with you, Peter. Talk to us about the competitive advantage that Symantec sees this partnership being able to generate. >> So the the way the way we look at it, is we're going to come to market now. We're both way with love technology. I think we can agree that we're both very much technology forward, very research forward, bringing this pieces together. When you do that, you're goingto win. Andi. If you do that in a way that is highly integrated, you're going to be. The competition is going to have a clear advantage. We're going to do text a faster. We're going to respond to start faster. It's just going to show Ray very well on DH. I'm not going to appoint a particular competitors. Don't mention the name way. We're obviously very large player in industry, but way like this a lot again. We think that if you make a very big impact, so let's see where it goes >> and John any predictions on what those graphs might look like it accelerate twenty, twenty, >> twenty twenty. That's a long time away from now, but I You know what? We continue to grow as a company. We take marketshare. We're aligning with some of the big players, such a semantic in the marketplace. So those graphs definitely up until the right, is that the right direction? >> That's the right direction. And last question is, we talked a lot about data sharing on a number of our segments. Today is semantic and forty that sharing threat intelligence and if so, why? Is that a good thing? Why is that >> important? Where where she, both founders of the cyber threat, aligns the C t a way already share way did that for two years ago. At least I know we're expanding. That strong was staying with really time on the ground. Three intelligence sharing between our products between the fabrics that would happen just automatically. >> It's important that you got the global sharing through the T A, but also going for because of targeted attacks. You have the local sharing, so we'LL have global sharing with big amounts of threat intelligence and data, but at the local level between the end points on the network's puree will have threat sharing there as well. >> But this is important to do that fast Security changes by the second. If you don't react to something quickly, If you don't share the intelligence that's actionable on relevant, you may as well just give up. You're gonna be fast, responsive >> and lasting. Last question is you mentioned the word react and we talked about that a lot today, as well as how and I'll ask you both thiss Peter, we'LL start with you. How is this partnership going to enable your joint customers to eventually go from being reactive to proactive to predictive? >> They're for sure. Well, I thinks of these integrations we're working on is all about being proactive. So is an example. If we see something in our network we've seen in a corner case, we can automatically give it over Too fortunate they'LL be inoculated everywhere around the planet in every single device. Advice first. So, unfortunately, something in their network that we've never seen before we can inoculate all ofher own points. All of our customers, that's been truly proactive. That's how you get ahead. >> Yeah, it's all about showing that threat intelligence is fastest possible across much of the attack surface is possible, and that's where the relationship >> Well, guys, thanks so much for stopping by the Cuban sharing with us a little bit more about the partnership with semantic and Fortinet. We look forward to hearing what comes in this year ahead, and we'LL talk to you next year. You look, we want to thank you for watching the Cube. I'm Lisa Martin Live from Fortinet. Accelerate twenty nineteen. Thanks for watching.

>> live from Orlando, Florida It's the que covering Accelerate nineteen. Brought to you by Ford. >> Welcome back to the Q. We air live in Orlando, Florida At Fortinet Accelerate twenty nineteen Lisa Martin with Peter Burst. Pleased to welcome back one of our alumni on ly the CEO and founder of Fortinet. Kensi. Ken, thank you so much for joining Peter and me on the Cuban. Thanks for having the Cube back at accelerate. >> Yeah, I love to be here again. Yeah, Thank you. >> So, so quick by the numbers Can Kino. This morning was awesome. Loved the music and all the lights to start four thousand attendees from forty countries. You guys now have about three hundred eighty five thousand customers globally. Your revenue and F eighteen was up twenty percent year on year. I could go on and on. Lots of partners, lots of academies, tremendous growth. Talk to us about in the evolution of security. Where are we today and why is supporting that so well positioned to help customers dramatically transform security >> First world happy to see all the partner of the cosmos were come here. And also we keep him like every year we in this program also is a great program on another side. Like I say, securities of wherever dynamic space you need to keep in landing on We see more and more people come here s o that's we'LL be happy to discuss in the new technology the new market opportunity and also the new trend on DH Also What we see is a the space is so old and I'm making Also we see a lot of people keeping come here for the training for other sins And also I love the music make make us feel young again So But I >> think one of the reasons why security is so dynamic it is you don't for example, in the server world you don't have, you know you know gangs of bad guys running around with baseball bats trying to eat your servers. In the security world, you have people trying to enable the business to be able to do more, but also people constantly trying to tear the business down. And that tension drives a lot of invention and requires a lot of innovation. How is that changing? We're driving some of the key trends and networks and network security >> Yeah, that's where like I presented this morning. Wait, You see, with more device connected, Actually motive, I Some people being connect today and eventually in few years we'LL be calm. Motive eyes on people. There also is all the five G or icy went technology you can make is connected faster, more broadly reached. And then there's a more application More data also come to the Internet. So that's all you quist tax servants. There's all additional risk We'LL have all this connection. We have all these data transfer to all these different diversity on people. So that's all security business, right? Because secure to have the address where they now walking cannot really are dresses above the connection above the speed. So we have our dressing a content layered application layer the device user layer all regionally or country lier s O. That's making the security always keeping foreign faster than the night walk in the night. He spending on the study become the biggest sector United ninety idea spending environment. That's also one time we just feel security also need a study merger convert together is not working because no longer oh now will get only kind of the speed I can activities secure, canniness and bob. They had to be working together to smart rain route. In a data, put a low risk area tow without a polluted like transfer. All this conscience on that way, see, is the two industries that emerged together. That's where Koda security driven that walk are the arson about how this kind of we see today the mobile on cloud started replacing the traditional PC, right? So about going forward, the wearable divine's all the glass and we award study replaced the mobile. You don't have the whole mobile phone the season, while they're probably in your eyes on the same piled. A smart car that's my home, the wise every single connecting way Are you walking? Like if I walking here our sins related my information on power for me so I don't have to carry innocents, so that's going for you. A few years we'LL be happy. First, security will be part of this space. How this will be going forward contrato today The mobile the cloud way also have some discussion about that one. So we need to prepare for all this because that's how fortunate being founded. That's how our culture about generation, about long career advancement. So that's where we want to make sure the technology the part already for this chance. That's what gave the use of the past benefit of leverage of connection. Same time, lower the risk >> organ has taken an approach in the marketplace of Let Me Step Back. Put it this way. We all talk about software to find everything in virtual ization, and that's clearly an important technology and important trend. Ford has taken advantage of that as well, but the stuff doesn't run. All that's offered stuff doesn't run on hamsters. It runs in hardware. Unfortunate has made taking a strategic position, and it's been a feature of your nearly twenty year history to continuously invest in hardware and open up the performance aperture. Increase the size of the bucket of that hardware. How is that? Both altered your ability to add additional functionality, get ahead of the curve relative to competition, but also enabled your ecosystem to do a lot of new and interesting things that we're not seeing on other another network security companies? >> Yeah, that's why I totally agree with you. Israeli howto unable the past ecosystem for everybody playing a space for the partners of his provider, carrier enterprise, on the photo leverage technology benefit. More broadly, Cosmo base is very important. That's where we feel like a sulfur cloud. They do study in kind of a change, a lot of sense. But you also need a balance among clothes. Suffers were important, but also the hardwork also very important. All right, so that's the hybrid. More post the power on the sulfur. Both the cloud at age both have equal equal weight. Equally important, going forward How to leverage all this post is also also kind of very important for the future growth of future trend Another So you also can see like a mission. Uh, will you have the immersive device? We'LL have some, like security applied in tow Storage in that work in small Sadie, you also need a bad lie. Security be part of it. No, just security. I don't cop as a cost of additional Whatever process are all since, But you know, once you make it secure to be part ofthe like we mentioned a security for even that Working security driven like a future like a wearable device or the other since without it will be huge ecosystem going forward. That's where is the chip technology you can. Bad. We just saw Fervor is also additional servants. We can all walk in together. So that's where we want to look at the whole spectrum. There, make sure different part all can walk in together on also different technology. No, just limiting some part of it. I make sure the faux technologists face hole. Attack service can be a poor tag. And also we can leverage for the security of the high table addition. Opinions? You know, this conducted a war. >> This is what you're calling the third generation of Security? >> Yes, there's more. You for structure security. That's the whole security compared tto first dinners and second generation is our security just secured himself right. So you don't involve with other night walking star recharge the infrastructure? No, because Because they view everything you inside the companies secure You only need a guard at the door This Hey, who has come here? Anything inside I'll find But with today all the mobile pouring on Devise all the data everywhere Go outside the company you need to make sure security for all of the data. So that's the new trend. So now the border disappeared. So it doesn't matter. You said the company or not, is no longer secure anymore because you can use the mobile, the access rights o outside. All people can also come here with data also go out. So that's where the infrastructure security neither give or imposing their work inside on points. I under the cloud of the age and all this a different device on the diversity. Why? So you're even your mobile phone? Hi! Still working together. So it's a much bigger before structure. Much bigger are traceable space. Now that's making secure, more exciting. >> Well, we have gotten used over the past twenty years of building applications that operate on somebody else's device, typically a PC or mobile phone. And we've learned how to deal with that. You're suggesting that we're actually going to be integrating our systems with somebody else's systems at their edge or our edge on a deeply intimate level and life and death level. Sometimes on that, obviously, place is a real premium on security and networking whatnot. So how does the edge and the cloud together informed changes and how we think about security, how we think about networking, >> That's where, like I think age and a cloud they each complaint. Different role, because architecture. So the cloud has a good C all the bigger picture. They're very good on the provisioning. There could archiving cloud, also relatively slow, and also you can see most of data generated and age. That's where, whether you're immersive device, all your mobile, whatever ages were we called a digital made physical, and that's all the people in Device Connect. So that's where, like a seven eighty percent data, Carrion a probably never traveled to the club. They need a processed locally. They also need have the privacy and autonomy locally and also even interactive with other eighty vice locally there. So that's what we see is very important. Both the cloud on age security can be addressed together and also celebrity of architecture, that I say the cloud is good for detection so you can see a something wrong. You can cry the information, but the age new market on the provisions, because prevention need to be really time needed back, moreover, quickly because a lot of application they cannot afford a late Nancy like where do the V I. R. Even you slow down in a microsecond. Pickle feet is the famous signals. You also see the also drive a car. If you react too slow, you may hear something right the same scene for a lot of harder. Even you. Commerce, whatever. If you not response picking out within a half second, people may drop the connection. The memos are married, so that's what the late and see the speed on DH that's making the club play there at all into all this management on their age, playing hero in a really kind on Barlow. Ladies, you're really kind reaction there. So what? That's where we see the both side need to play their role on important transposed market. You said that just a one cloud, which I feel a little bit too hard right now. Try to cool down a little bit of our same age. Also, we see a very important even going forward what I been a bad security in age >> with this massive evolution that you've witnessed for a very long time. As the head of forty nine last nearly twenty years EJ cloud. How how dramatically technology changes in such a short period of time. I'm curious. Can How has your customer conversations evolved in terms of, you know, ten years ago were you talk ng more to security professionals? And now are you talking more to the C suite? As security is fundamental? Teo Digital transformation and unlocking tremendous value in both dollars in society impact has that conversation elevated as security has changed in the threat landscape has changed. >> Yeah, they do go to the board level, the CEO level now compared to like a ten, twenty years ago. Probably gaiety people maybe see so level, because security become probably the most important part of it. Now they keep you got a high high percentage that ikey spending there because when we connect everything together, we can make all the people all this business together to be on the connection. That's where security handled up, right? So that's where we see security studying kind of more. You hope me more important now. But another side, also the space also changing over quick. So that's where we always have to learn it. Woman engaged with Cosmo partner here. That's where this event is about way keeping less into what's the issue they have, how we can help the dress. All these security really the usual. Some even be honest security. Go to like a connection you for structure, some other, like architectural design, whatever their penis model there. So that's all we're very important on. Like I said, security space we need to keep in Lenny every day. Even I spent a few hours a day to Lenny. I You don't feel ready? Can K child? Oh, they >> said, It's a very dynamic world security world. >> You have our dynamic, the knowledge base, the technology refreshed quickly. Way always had to be Len have training. That's where he also see Try to position forty Niners lending company. So that's where we all for the because training program and all the train is afraid for partner for customers. All this kind is really it's a big investment. That's where a lot of people say, Oh, how can you? You've asked more in the training. You said of all come better. You must move your marketing. I say journeys of over a long term benefit. When people get trained, they also see Hey, what's the pants technology? So that's where a lot of organization, a lot of investment, really looking for. How five years here come benefit of space can benefit. The car's my partner, so that's all we see. Training's far long time measurement see modern technology. >> So can you've talked in the keynote? You've talked in the Cube about how networking security come together on how, as they move forward, they're going in form. Or they'LL have an impact on business and have an impact and other technologies. There's a lot of technology change when you talk to network in professional or even your own employees. What technologies out there do you think are going to start impacting how security works? Micro services containers? Are there any technologies that Ford that's looking at and saying, We gotta watch that really closely and that networking professionals have to pay more attention to. I >> have to say pretty much all of them, right? So all these Michael, all this contender technology, micro segmentation, according computing, the immersion lending all this is all very important because security has deal with all this different new technology application on like it was all this a huge, competent power raised on the cost lower ball corner computer. And maybe some of the old technology may not really work any more for some additional risks. Like where the equipment can be break by cute from the computing or some moderate eventually can also kind of take over. All this country is always we tryto tryto learn, tryto tried. Okay, chop every day. Hey, that that's what I say is that's so exciting. Keep you wake up, Keep your Lenny everyday, which I enjoy. But at the same time, there's a lot of young people they probably even even better than us to catch the new technology. >> Oh, no. Oh, no, no, no. >> Yeah. Somehow, my kids can play the fool much greater than mere. That's always the way >> we want to thank you so much for joining Peter and me on the kid this afternoon for having the Cube back at forty nine. Accelerate and really kind of talking about how you guys are leading in the space and we're gonna be having more guests on from Fortinet. And your partner's talking about educate ecosystems and technology that you talked about in your keynote. So we thank you again for your time. And we look forward to a very successful day here. >> Oh, thank you. Thank you very much. You enjoy all this programme for many years. Thank you. >> Excellent. We love to hear that. We want to thank you for watching the Cube for Peter Burress. I'm Lisa Martin. You're watching the Cube. >> Thank you.
