That means tying the knot with only the most-respected world-class suppliers in their respective fields,” said Merrick Chua, President of MEC Networks Corporation. “That is why we partnered with Fortinet. MEC aims to introduce the latest network security innovations in the Philippine market through Fortinet’s network security appliances."<br /><br />“Today, we are number two in Asia Pacific. And number one in my region – Southeast Asia and Hongkong in terms of most UTM (Unified Threat Management) appliances. Solution has gone from the small end to the big [corporations]. So we have solutions almost in every area,” said George Chan, Vice President of Fortinet for Southeast Asia and Hongkong. “It is my belief that in the next two years, this year and next year, the security markets will peak [in the Philippines].”<br /><br /><center><blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="en">Congratulations to MEC & Fortinet on your new partnership.
