Nextro achieves Fortinet SASE Partner Specialisation
The Fortinet SASE specialisation solidifies Nextro’s position as a leader in converged networking and security solutions.
Auckland, New Zealand, 17 April 2026 – Nextro today announced that it has achieved the Fortinet Engage Partner Specialisation for SASE, validating its expertise in delivering secure access service edge (SASE) solutions for modern, distributed New Zealand and Australian enterprises.
This specialisation recognises partners who meet Fortinet’s rigorous technical, certification and commercial requirements, as well as demonstrating proven capability in designing, deploying and supporting the Fortinet SASE solutions in real-world environments.
For Nextro, the achievement reflects both continued investment in secure networking and cloud-delivered security, and hands-on experience delivering the Fortinet SASE solutions for customers. The company has already completed multiple commercial deployments, helping organisations simplify their security architecture while enabling secure, reliable access for users regardless of location.
“Achieving Fortinet’s SASE specialisation is an important milestone for Nextro,” said Martyn Levy, Managing Director, Nextro. “It confirms not only our technical capability, but also our experience delivering these solutions in production environments. Our customers are looking for simpler, more effective ways to secure hybrid work and cloud adoption, and Fortinet’s SASE is a key part of that.”
Nick Frantzen, Country Manager, Fortinet New Zealand, added, “Partners who achieve the Fortinet SASE specialisation have demonstrated a strong commitment to developing the skills and experience required to deliver secure access solutions. Nextro’s achievement reflects its ability to help organisations adopt a converged networking and security approach that supports hybrid work and cloud-first strategies.”
As organisations continue to move towards hybrid work and cloud-first strategies, the need to converge networking and security into a single, cloud-delivered service has become increasingly important. Fortinet’s SASE enables this by combining secure connectivity with advanced security services, reducing complexity while improving visibility and control.
Through this specialisation, Nextro is recognised by Fortinet as a partner with the expertise and delivery capability to help customers adopt SASE architectures with confidence, from initial design through to implementation and ongoing support.
This milestone further strengthens Nextro’s position as a trusted partner for New Zealand organisations seeking to modernise their network and security environments, with solutions that are scalable, resilient and aligned to evolving business needs.
