Cybersecurity vendor Fortinet has appointed Andrew Sheedy to lead its operational technology (OT) solutions business in Australia and New Zealand.
As director, the company said Sheedy would focus on its critical infrastructure systems security solutions. He will help clients shape a security framework to keep their operations safe, secure, compliant, and available.
“Cybersecurity strategy for critical infrastructure has been recognised by Australian state and federal governments as being of significant national interest, Sheedy said.
Maintaining strong OT security is essential to protecting this critical infrastructure. Fortinet incorporates capabilities that let organisations identify and deal with security threats while maintaining their safety systems’ integrity so they can keep operating safely.
