I work with a ton of large tech companies. All of them are dumping Cisco ASA for Fortigate.

I've been in the same boat! Just moved along and have bought some back over the years. I think FTNT is on cruise control and heading to $100. I see no technical breakdowns and the next earning in late October will be the next direction move. I have long shares and Sept 85 calls, will probably buy some October 90 calls next. I think you are safe for another 20% if you are getting back in. Low volatility stock, so easy in and out.

Just an FYI that Iโ€™m seeing so many people leaving their Cisco ASAs in the trash for Fortinet products.

Their revenue next quarter is going to explode just based on what I am seeing in the field.

Read up on all the extremely hostile ASA vulnerabilities released in the past 4 weeks.

I do not own shares.

The drop makes no viable sense, however, lots of manipulation ongoing. This per analysts who see it every day.
The same short sellers are buying it back cheaper , and doing this several times per day.
HFT exchanges make it easy to profit this way!

Checking with a group of analysts on this Stock.
Zacks just one of 21 checked has a #1(strong buy) on FTNT. A price target we see varies from 43.50-49.50 this year.
We do hold it.
Always do your own DD.

Agree, however, this is a stand alone Company. Does not need a buyout but if it happens PPS in the low 40's for sure. This based on projected earnings analysis.

Fortinet (Nasdaq: FTNT) announced that its Board of Directors has authorized a share repurchase program of up to $200 million through December 31, 2014. Share repurchases may be made by the company from time to time in privately negotiated transactions or in open market transactions.

"The implementation of our first share repurchase program reflects Fortinet's confidence in the long-term strength and strategy of the company, as well as our commitment to returning shareholder value," said Ken Xie, Fortinet's Founder, Chairman and CEO. "Though we remain focused on continuing to invest in our business to capitalize on our growth opportunities, at the same time, Fortinet's financial performance and healthy cash flow generation allows us to be confident and opportunistic in repurchasing shares."

The actual timing, number and value of shares repurchased under the program will be determined by Fortinet management at its discretion, and will depend on a number of factors, including the trading price of the stock, and general market and business conditions and applicable legal requirements. This program does not oblige Fortinet to repurchase any shares under the authorization, and the program may be suspended, discontinued or modified at any time, for any reason and without notice.

"Given the macro uncertainty, we are moving forward cautiously yet confidently, as the network security market remains healthy and Fortinet's competitive position and product advantage remains strong."

Forward-looking Statements
This press release contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. These forward-looking statements include statements regarding the potential growth of our business. Although we attempt to be accurate in making forward-looking statements, it is possible that future circumstances might differ from the assumptions on which such statements are based. Important factors that could cause results to differ materially from the statements herein include the following: general economic risks; specific economic risks in different geographies and among different customer segments; uncertainty regarding increased business and renewals from existing customers; uncertainties around continued success in sales growth and market share gains; failure to convert sales pipeline into final sales; risks associated with successful implementation of multiple integrated software products and other product functionality risks; execution risks around new product development and introductions and innovation; litigation and disputes and the potential cost, distraction and damage to sales and reputation caused thereby; market acceptance of new products and services; the ability to attract and retain personnel; changes in strategy; risks associated with management of growth; lengthy sales and implementation cycles, particularly in larger organizations and service providers; technological changes that make our products and services less competitive; risks associated with the adoption of, and demand for, the UTM model in general and by specific customer segments; competition and pricing pressure; and the other risk factors set forth from time to time in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, our most recent Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and our other filings with the SEC, copies of which are available free of charge at the SEC's website at www.sec.gov or upon request from our investor relations department. All forward-looking statements herein reflect our opinions only as of the date of this release, and we undertake no obligation, and expressly disclaim any obligation, to update forward-looking statements herein in light of new information or future events.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We have provided in this release financial information that has not been prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). We use these non-GAAP financial measures internally in analyzing our financial results and believe they are useful to investors, as a supplement to GAAP measures, in evaluating our ongoing operational performance. We believe that the use of these non-GAAP financial measures provides an additional tool for investors to use in evaluating ongoing operating results and trends and in comparing our financial results with other companies in our industry, many of which present similar non-GAAP financial measures to investors.

Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures below. As previously mentioned, a reconciliation of our non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP measures has been provided in the financial statement tables included below in this press release.

Billings. We define billings as revenue recognized plus the change in deferred revenue from the beginning to the end of the period less any deferred revenue balances acquired from business combination(s) during the period. We consider billings to be a useful metric for management and investors because billings drive deferred revenue, which is an important indicator of the health and visibility of our business, and has historically represented a majority of the quarterly revenue that we recognize. There are a number of limitations related to the use of billings versus revenue calculated in accordance with GAAP. First, billings include amounts that have not yet been recognized as revenue. Second, we may calculate billings in a manner that is different from other companies that report similar financial measures. Management compensates for these limitations by providing specific information regarding GAAP revenue and evaluating billings together with revenues calculated in accordance with GAAP.

Free cash flow. We define free cash flow as net cash provided by operating activities minus capital expenditures. We consider free cash flow to be a liquidity measure that provides useful information to management and investors about the amount of cash generated by the business that, after the acquisition of property and equipment, can be used for strategic opportunities, including investing in our business, making strategic acquisitions, and strengthening the balance sheet. Analysis of free cash flow facilitates management's comparisons of our operating results to competitors' operating results. A limitation of using free cash flow versus the GAAP measure of net cash provided by operating activities as a means for evaluating the Company is that free cash flow does not represent the total increase or decrease in the cash balance from operations for the period because it excludes cash used for capital expenditures. Management compensates for this limitation by providing information about our capital expenditures on the face of the cash flow statement and under the caption "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Liquidity and Capital Resources" in our most recent Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Non-GAAP operating income and operating margin. We define non-GAAP operating income as operating income plus stock-based compensation reduced by the income from payments we received from a patent settlement. Non-GAAP operating margin is defined as non-GAAP operating income divided by revenue. We consider these non-GAAP financial measures to be
useful metrics for management and investors because they exclude the effect of stock-based compensation expense and patent settlement related income so that our management and investors can compare our recurring core business operating results over multiple periods. There are a number of limitations related to the use of non-GAAP operating income versus operating income calculated in accordance with GAAP. First, non-GAAP operating income excludes stock-based compensation expense. Stock-based compensation has been and will continue to be for the foreseeable future a significant recurring expense in our business. Second, stock-based compensation is an important part of our employees' compensation and impacts their performance. Third, the components of the costs that we exclude in our calculation of non-GAAP operating income may differ from the components that our peer companies exclude when they report their non-GAAP results of operations. Management compensates for these limitations by providing specific information regarding the GAAP amounts excluded from non-GAAP operating income and evaluating non-GAAP operating income together with operating income calculated in accordance with GAAP.

Non-GAAP net income and diluted net income per share. We define non-GAAP net income as net income plus stock-based compensation expense reduced by the income from payments we received from a patent settlement, and includes the impact of the tax adjustment, if any, required to achieve the effective tax rate on a pro forma basis, which could differ from the GAAP tax rate. We define non-GAAP diluted net income per share as non-GAAP net income divided by the weighted-average diluted shares outstanding. We consider these non-GAAP financial measures to be useful metrics for management and investors for the same reasons that we use non-GAAP operating income and non-GAAP operating margin. However, in order to provide a complete picture of our recurring core business operating results, we include in non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP diluted net income per share, the tax adjustment required to achieve the effective tax rate on a pro forma basis, which could differ from the GAAP tax rate. We believe the effective tax rates we used are reasonable estimates of long-term normalized tax rates under our global operating structure. The same limitations described above regarding our use of non-GAAP operating income and non-GAAP operating margin apply to our use of non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP diluted net income per share. We compensate for these limitations by providing specific information regarding the GAAP amounts excluded from non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP diluted net income per share and evaluating non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP diluted net income per share together with net income and diluted net income per share calculated in accordance with GAAP.

Fortinet(R) Earns 27th Virus Bulletin VB100 Award

1:30 PM 11/28/2012 - Marketwire

SUNNYVALE, CA -- (Marketwire) -- 11/28/12 -- Fortinet® (NASDAQ: FTNT) -- a leader in high-performance network security -- today announced FortiOS 5 has been certified by Virus Bulletin and earned a Reactive and Proactive (RAP) measurement score of 96.6%. The Virus Bulletin RAP score measures a security solution's ability to detect malware collected from previous weeks (Reactive) and new malware (Proactive) that has appeared since a particular solution was submitted to Virus Bulletin. Proactive testing is extremely important to stop advanced threats that use the latest malware variants to avoid detection. Out of 30 participating vendors, Fortinet was the only company to score above 90% in proactive detection.

"Fortinet's scores have been climbing steadily of late and, for this specific test, detection scores were once again excellent across the board, taking a commanding position on the RAP chart; a VB100 certification award was easily earned," said test team director John Hawes at Virus Bulletin. "The design is simple and clear, and the interface proved reliable and responsive throughout testing."

The FortiOS 5 Advantage
FortiOS 5 powers both the FortiGate network security platform and the FortiClient endpoint protection solution, giving enterprises of all sizes innovative technologies to help protect and manage their networks in light of fundamental changes in both the nature of attacks targeting them as well as the way users are accessing the network. The new operating system includes more than 150 new security features that were designed to help protect against today's Advanced Persistent Threats (APTs) and targeted attacks. The enhancements roll up into five elements, which give organizations of any size the ability to easily deploy maximum protection:

Advanced Malware Detection
Exploit Discovery and Protection
Cloud-Based Reputation Systems
Local Client Reputation
Multi-Vector Policy Engine

Advanced Malware Detection
The Advanced Malware Detection engine has three elements: The first consists of an advanced antivirus engine with one-to-many signatures to help reduce the size and increase the performance of the signature database. For example, a single signature can now detect multiple virus variants rather than having to create a separate signature for each discovered variant. The second element runs file scans and filters and determines if a file is suspicious in nature. The engine then passes suspect files through an inline sandbox where it applies behavior models against the sample file to help determine if it is a threat. The third part is cloud-based inspection, where the engine sends suspicious files for a more detailed analysis. Confirmed malware is placed into the database by the FortiGuard global threat research team, creating a feedback loop that improves proactive detection.

In the April 17, 2012Gartner report titled: "A Buyer's Guide to Endpoint Protection Platforms," Peter Firstbrook, research vice president for Gartner, said, "Antivirus/anti-spyware databases are 90% to 99% effective at detecting well-known, widely circulating threats. However, they are only 20% to 50% effective at detecting new or low-volume threats. Security effectiveness is significantly enhanced by non-signature-based techniques. The simulation of unknown code before the code is executed to determine malicious intent without requiring end-user interaction with the unknown code is another deterministic technique."

Exploit Discovery and Protection
Although social engineering has become a favorite ploy of targeted threats, using exploits via vulnerabilities is still an important threat target. The FortiOS 5 Exploit Discovery and Protection engine is able to scan and identify vulnerabilities via a network or agent scan, providing a wide scope of coverage. Intrusion protection systems can then be deployed to protect vulnerable assets until the normal patching cycle remediates the vulnerability.

Cloud-Based Reputation Systems
Cloud-Based Reputation systems, where reputation is discovered in and delivered by the cloud, are an invaluable part of any network or endpoint security platform. Base-level reputation checks against a known bad list of domains and URLs. The next level, also referred to as application control, classifies applications to identify dangerous communication. More advanced reputation systems can check for known botnet controllers or relay servers.

Local Client Reputation
Fortinet's local client reputation is based on the dynamic behavior of a client. It maintains reputation by maintaining numerous parameters such as dangerous application usage, IPS attacks, malware detected and Websites (Malicious URLs and botnets) visited. It then constructs a reputation score for each client, allowing action to be taken against the top offenders.

Multi-Vector Policy Engine
Since the aforementioned security functions need to be deployed within endpoint, network and application platforms, the security engine that applies profiles of the security function and takes action on the results needs to be multi-vectored. Hence, although traditional policy can be applied based on source (IP address), there is also the ability to apply policy based on the user and device identity. This is an important attribute for distributed, virtual and cloud networks.

"Today's Advanced Persistent Threats use zero day exploits, rapidly-changing malware variants and other techniques to avoid detection and penetrate enterprise networks," said Michael Xie, founder, CTO and vice president of engineering for Fortinet. "One dimensional solutions that only employ antivirus or check sum scanning will not work against these types of attacks. Fortinet's software developers and FortiGuard Labs work tirelessly with product managers to continually deliver best-of-breed network and endpoint and security platforms, and their hard work is paying off with this latest VB100 award win."

About FortiGuard Labs
Founded in 2000, Fortinet'sFortiGuard Labs consists of a world-class security team that monitors the threat landscape and helps ensure Fortinet customers are continuously informed and protected. Consisting of more than 200 dedicated research analysts, FortiGuard helps protect customers 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and 365 days a year. The team discovers new third party threats and then delivers rapid signature updates and detailed security knowledge designed to provide practically instant protection from new and emerging threats. In a typical week, the FortiGuard team adds or updates approximately 145,000 antivirus signatures, 25 intrusion prevention (IPS) signatures, 400,000 URLs ratings for Web filtering and 28,000,000 antispam signatures. Additionally, FortiGuard has made more than 130 zero day discoveries in the last three years.

Fortinet is able to discover threats quickly via Fortinet's extensive customer network and then push out signature updates to every customer in the world in minutes -- unlike competing security companies that have to rely on third party security companies to provide them with the latest malware signatures.

Fortinet Threat Landscape Research Reports a Surge in Android Adware, an Evolution to Zitmo Mobile Banking Trojan and Large Scale Scans for Web Vulnerability

9:00 AM 10/8/2012 - Marketwire

SUNNYVALE, CA -- (Marketwire) -- 10/08/12 -- Fortinet® (NASDAQ: FTNT) -- a world leader in high-performance network security -- today released its threat landscape research. During the period beginning July 1, 2012 and ending September 30, 2012, FortiGuard Labs researchers reported a marked increase in Android adware, new evidence suggesting that Zitmo (Zeus-in-the-Mobile) mobile banking Trojan is evolving into a botnet and the detection of Romanian hackers performing large scale scanning for Web vulnerabilities.

Android Adware on the Rise
In the last three months, FortiGuard Labs reported a surge in Android-based mobile adware with a volume of activity comparable to Netsky.PP, one of the most infamous and prolific spam generators encountered in Internet history. Two adware variants Android/NewyearL and Android/Plankton were detected by close to one percent of all FortiGuard monitoring systems in the APAC and EMEA regions and four percent in the Americas. These two adware variants cover various applications that embed a common toolset for unwanted advertisements displayed on the mobile's status bar, user tracking through their International Mobile Equipment Identity (IMEI) number and dropping of icons on the device's desktop.

"The surge in Android adware can most likely be attributed to users installing on their mobile devices legitimate applications that contain the embedded adware code. It suggests that someone or some group is making money, most likely from rogue advertising affiliate programs," said Guillaume Lovet, senior manager of Fortinet'sFortiGuard Labs Threat Response Team.

These types of applications require too many unnecessary rights for a normal application, indicating it has a hidden agenda. Such data request includes permission to access parts of the device that are irrelevant to the application, to get access to the device's browser history, bookmarks contact data, phone logs and identity as well as system log files.

For best practices, FortiGuard Labs recommends paying close attention to the rights asked by the application at the point of installation. More generally, it is also recommended to download mobile applications that have been highly rated and reviewed.

Zitmo Gets More Sophisticated
In the last quarter, FortiGuard researchers discovered that Zitmo (or Zeus-in-the-mobile) has evolved into a more complex threat, with new versions recently released for Android and BlackBerry.

Zitmo is the notorious mobile component of the Zeus banking Trojan that circumvents two-factor authentication by intercepting SMS confirmation codes to access bank accounts. The new versions for Android and BlackBerry have now added botnet-like features, such as enabling cybercriminals to control the Trojan via SMS commands.

"The new version of Zitmo may already be in the wild in Europe and Asia. While we're detecting only a few instances of the malware in those regions, it's leading us to believe the code is currently being tested by its authors or deployed for very specific, targeted attacks," Lovet continued.

As more banks and online merchants roll out two-factor authentication -- usually through the use of an SMS code to bring the second authentication factor and confirm a transaction -- Android and BlackBerry users should be mindful anytime their financial institution asks them to install software onto their computing device, as this is something banks rarely if ever request from their customers. For complete security, FortiGuard Labs recommends conducting online banking from the original operating system CD. If that is not an option, users should install an antivirus client on their phone and desktop PCs and make sure they are updated with the latest patches.

Romanian Hackers Scanning for phpMyAdmin Vulnerability
In the last three months, FortiGuard Labs has detected large scale scans for vulnerability. These scans were performed through a tool developed by Romanian Hackers to seek Web servers running vulnerable versions of the mySQL administration software (phpMyAdmin) in order to take control of those servers.

The tool, called ZmEu, contains code strings in the payload that refers to AntiSec, the global hacking movement initiated by Anonymous and Lulzsec last year. The scans are being performed around the world, and in September, almost 25 percent of FortiGuard monitoring systems were detecting at least one such scan per day.

"The goal behind an attack on this vulnerability is open to speculation," added Lovet. "But if these hackers are indeed related to AntiSec, possible scenarios include exfiltering sensitive data, using the compromised servers as a direct denial of service (DDoS) launch base or defacing the Websites they've infiltrated."

To secure Web servers against this threat, Fortinet recommends updating to the latest version of PhPMyAdmin.

Masergy Leverages Fortinet's Enterprise Class Network Security Platform to Launch Intelligent Internet Management (IIM) Servi...

Fortinet® (NASDAQ: FTNT) - a leading network security provider and worldwide leader of unified threat management (UTM) solutions -- today announced that Masergy Communications, Inc. ("Masergy"), a global provider of secure, virtualized network services, has launched its new Internet management service based on Fortinet's enterprise network security appliances.

When it came time to look for a new network security vendor, and one that would be the backbone for a new managed security service offering, Massergy selected Fortinet's FortiGate appliances over the other vendors because of the product's ease-of-use, consolidated security platform, robustness, lower total cost of ownership and more fulsome security functionality than that of the other vendors.

Deployed throughout the Masergy network are FortiGate appliances located in strategic Points Of Presence (POPs) around the world. The FortiGate appliances were initially deployed for firewall, SSL and IPSec VPN protection but have been expanded to include web content filtering and application control.

Each appliance is being used for the FortiGate's virtual domain (VDOM) technology whereby a single appliance can have up to 250 virtual domains. Fortinet's VDOM technology allows Masergy to easily add new customers to the network without having to deploy a new appliance onsite. Additionally, because every customer has its own virtual domain, network security policies for specific customers can be created and changed to meet the customer needs.

"Our customers are looking for a network-based firewall option and we were looking for a solution that would allow us the flexibility to scale with our customers as a whole and as individual customers have specific needs," said Andy Singleton, Director of Product Development at Masergy. "We couldn't be happier with the Fortinet deployment. We're adding value to our customer base by giving them what they need and we have been able to consolidate security functionality into single appliances."

"MSSPs are moving more towards a cloud-based network security solution and Masergy is the perfect example of this," said Kendra Krause, vice president of Channel Sales at Fortinet. "The FortiGate appliances allow MSSPs the network visibility and control that they need to provide their customer with the highest level of security."

Fortinet Grows to Fourth Largest Network Security Company According to Leading Market Research Firm

1:29 PM 7/25/2012 - Marketwire

SUNNYVALE, CA -- (Marketwire) -- 07/25/12 -- Fortinet® (NASDAQ: FTNT) -- a world leader in high-performance network security -- today announced that new IDC research indicates that Fortinet grew to the 4th largest vendor in 2011. According to IDC's Worldwide Network Security 2012-2016 Forecast and 2011 Vendor Shares (doc #235631, June 2012) report, Fortinet also increased its UTM-leading market share to 16.8 percent in 2011.

IDC's market forecast and share report looks at vendor performance in 2011 and uses its proprietary model to forecast market growth in UTM, firewall, VPN and intrusion detection and prevention through 2016. Data in the report shows:

Fortinet is now the 4th largest network security provider worldwide with a 5.1% market share
Fortinet's overall UTM market share grew to 16.8%
The network security market as a whole grew by 6.1% in 2011 to $7.4 billion
The UTM market segment had the highest network security submarket growth rate in 2011 at 17.4%, growing to $2.2 billion
IDC expects the UTM submarket to surpass the firewall submarket in 2012, making UTM the largest of the network security submarkets
IDC forecasts the network security market to reach $10.1 billion by 2016

"Fortinet is growing and gaining market share due to our strong technology advantage, continued innovation, and consistent security vision," said Ken Xie, founder, president and CEO of Fortinet. "Through our broad technology portfolio, we offer industry-leading performance and can address a wide variety of customer needs, whether that be for a firewall, UTM, next-generation firewall or any other combination of network and gateway security features in a single appliance."

According to IDC, the network security solutions are defined as a combination of hardware, software and networking technologies whose primary function is to protect corporate networks and network-embedded resources from disruption caused by external threats. In this market, IDC includes firewall, unified threat management, intrusion detection and prevention and virtual private network products.

Looking forward, IDC cites application awareness and control, the "bring your own device" trend and greater integration of advance malware detection as key network security market drivers. Fortinet has already developed technologies within its product line to address these trends. Fortinet also leverages its FortiGuard labs -- a forward-looking threat research organization -- to spot emerging malware and threats and to create new protections quickly against these. This intelligence, combined with technical innovation, allows Fortinet to consistently deliver products that help its customers stay ahead of the threat landscape.

Fortinet's FortiGate® appliances are consolidating security functionality across wired and wireless architectures in enterprises, managed security service providers (MSSPs) and telecommunications carriers for higher performance and a lower total cost of ownership. Custom FortiASIC-accelerated security technology greatly improves the performance of each appliance's integrated UTM features, including antivirus, firewall, VPN, intrusion prevention, as well as many other security and networking functions, such as Web filtering, anti-spam, WAN optimization and data leakage prevention (DLP). FortiGate systems help provide security protection through updates by Fortinet's FortiGuard® Network, to help guard against the most damaging threats, such as viruses, worms, advanced intrusions and other unwanted network traffic -- around the clock and around the world. FortiGate appliances are integrated with a broad security ecosystem product offering, including messaging, Web application firewall, database security, management and analysis systems and end-point security solutions. FortiGate appliances also contain a wireless controller so that wired and wireless infrastructures are simply implemented and more secure with one security platform. The entire security environment can be easily managed and reported through enterprise scale FortiManager and ForiAnalyzer for a single pane of glass policy and visualization.
