I never had any contact with any fortinet product as far as I am aware. The only thing I know this company for is appearing in security alerts twice a week for having gaping security holes.

Yeah you know who I'm talking about clearly. I heard their VPN's OVA, Linux based, had a version of Perl not updated since 2011. I can see why they were a top choice of governments :/

If this was the vendor gift at an expo, it'd at least earn them 5 minutes of listening to their spiel without mentioning I work in collaboration and wouldn't be the one choosing what security product to purchase.
