Cybersecurity · May 27, 2026
Today’s modern businesses face increasingly complex cybersecurity and networking challenges, meaning expectations for resilient, future-ready solutions have never been higher. To help meet these evolving demands, we are excited to share news of the ongoing advancement of the strategic partnership between TELUS Business and Fortinet.
Together, we combine Fortinet’s global Security Fabric with TELUS’s understanding of the Canadian market to help deliver a unified secured network architecture with simplified management. This partnership is designed to help organizations accelerate their network security transformation, reduce risk and help strengthen their overall security posture.
A partnership driving cybersecurity excellence.
Our partnership with Fortinet enables us to deliver network security solutions that can help reduce complexity for Canadian organizations. This dedication and expertise was recently recognized when TELUS proudly won the
2025 Fortinet Canadian MSSP Partner of the Year award
, highlighting our success in expanding managed security services ever deeper within the Fortinet ecosystem to deliver integrated protection to customers nationwide. As a Fortinet Expert and Managed Security Services Partner since 2019, TELUS is uniquely positioned to design, deploy, and manage Fortinet solutions. This capability is underpinned by a dedicated team of over 300 certified Fortinet experts. These professionals collectively hold more than 400 specializations across both cybersecurity and networking within Fortinet's comprehensive Security Fabric.*
Introducing a flexible, unified service integration for connectivity, security, and networking.
Further building on our Fortinet service offerings, this year TELUS is launching support for Fortinet Security Service Edge (FortiSASE) and Fortinet Next-Generation Firewalls (NGFW) within TELUS Managed Network Essentials (TMNE). This new offering allows businesses to integrate cybersecurity with services like SD-WAN, LAN, Wi-Fi, and Internet, helping them to simplify, secure, and optimize their network infrastructure through a single managed service provider. The result is a more streamlined customer experience, achieved through unified service delivery and management across all solution components.
Future-proofing networks with Quantum-Safe encryption.
With the rise of "Harvest Now, Decrypt Later" strategies where malicious actors intercept encrypted data today to decrypt it with future quantum advancements, a proactive approach to data security is essential. To help address this evolving threat, TELUS has launched a new capability powered by Fortinet Next Generation Firewall, called Quantum-safe VPN.
The Quantum-Safe VPN solution leverages quantum-enhanced cryptographic algorithms to help protect sensitive corporate communications and intellectual property. By adopting this technology early, organizations can help address potential future quantum-based threats.**
An expanding portfolio to fit the needs of today’s businesses.
With these powerful new launches, TELUS Business and Fortinet continue to deliver an extensive portfolio of solutions that span cybersecurity and networks, with the added flexibility to customize based on unique operational and architectural demands. Our flexible service models and expert-led managed services help reduce the internal IT burden and can lower total cost of ownership, helping organizations to implement secure growth strategies.
