Tackling database security requires the proper channels and resellers with database expertise, noted Paul Judd, UK and Ireland director at Fortinet. Adding that “Typically our partners are network security-literate, but not many have database skills that enable them to have conversations with the database administrator or risk manager”
So with the recent acquisition of IPLocks, if a channel can be built, Fortinet sees “a big opportunity out there if we can get to the people who provide Oracle, Sybase or IBM DB2 solutions.”
