\nIn discussing Q4 2025 and full year 2025 financial results, John Whittle, chief operating officer at Fortinet, said the company made significant strides across its three core pillars – secure networking, unified SASE and AI-driven security operations – attributing this continued success to an engineer-led culture, an expansive patent portfolio and new investments in artificial intelligence-driven solutions, highlighting their FortiSOC and FortiCNAPP offerings.
\n Trust remains central to Fortinet’s strategy, particularly in a threat landscape defined by sophisticated criminal actors. “At Fortinet, trust is our business. We build and maintain trust by innovating in ways that add real value to our customers, and always putting the customer first,” said Whittle.
\nIn this video interview with Information Security Media Group, Whittle also discussed:<\/p>\n

How unified SASE growth and positioning in the Magic Quadrant signal continued market share gains;
\nThe role of AI, quantum-safe security and Fortinet\u2019s new operating system, FortiOS 8.0 in advancing network and security operations capabilities;
\nWhy partnerships with private\/public organizations are critical to combating global cyberthreats.<\/p>\n

Whittle has more than 25 years of experience managing a wide range of operational matters for technology companies, including serving as an executive at Fortinet for over 18 years. As COO at Fortinet, Whittle oversees various global teams, including M&A, strategic alliances, marketing, product security, information security, IT, manufacturing, corporate real estate, legal and government affairs, among others. <\/p>\n
