Looking ahead, Fortinet remains focused on growth opportunities in unified SASE and SecOps offerings, despite anticipating a slowdown in deferred revenue growth rates. The company's strategic acquisitions and increased investment in research and development, sales, and marketing are poised to support its future growth and market share gains.
