Fortinet was founded in 2000 by brothers Ken Xie and Michael Xie. The business initially focused on combining multiple network-security functions in one appliance. Its first FortiGate products reached the market in the early 2000s, and the company later expanded into a broad platform covering network, cloud, endpoint and operational technology security. Fortinet became a publicly traded company in 2009 and has continued to design its own security processors for selected hardware.

Fortinet is headquartered at 909 Kifer Road, Sunnyvale, California 94086, United States. Its published corporate telephone number is +1 408 235 7700.
