Regional Recognition Highlights GTS Holding’s Leadership in Secure Access Service Edge Across Europe, the Middle East, and Africa
Cairo, Egypt – 2024 — GTS Holding is proud to announce that it has been named Fortinet Unified SASE Partner of the Year – EMEA 2024, a prestigious regional recognition celebrating the company’s outstanding achievements in delivering Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) solutions and helping organizations modernize their cybersecurity and networking strategies across the Europe, Middle East, and Africa (EMEA) region.
The award, presented by Fortinet, recognizes partners that demonstrate exceptional technical expertise, customer success, innovation, and business impact in deploying Unified SASE architectures. Being recognized at the EMEA level places GTS Holding among an elite group of technology partners that have consistently delivered secure, scalable, and future-ready solutions while driving the adoption of modern networking and cybersecurity practices across multiple markets.
For GTS Holding, this achievement represents more than a regional accolade. It reflects years of investment in engineering excellence, customer-centric delivery, strategic partnerships, and a long-term vision of enabling organizations to embrace digital transformation without compromising security, performance, or operational agility.
The digital enterprise has changed dramatically over the past decade. Applications have moved to public and private cloud environments, workforces have become increasingly distributed, and organizations now rely on seamless connectivity between employees, customers, partners, and critical business systems regardless of location.
Traditional network architectures were not designed to support this new reality.
Legacy security models that routed traffic through centralized data centers often introduced latency, operational complexity, and inconsistent security policies. At the same time, cyber threats became more sophisticated, targeting identities, cloud services, remote endpoints, and distributed applications rather than traditional network perimeters.
To address these challenges, enterprises around the world are adopting Secure Access Service Edge (SASE)—a cloud-native architecture that converges networking and security into a unified operational framework. Unified SASE combines technologies such as Secure SD-WAN, Secure Web Gateway (SWG), Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA), Firewall-as-a-Service (FWaaS), Cloud Access Security Broker (CASB), and centralized policy management to provide secure, high-performance access for users wherever they work.
Recognizing the growing demand for these capabilities, GTS Holding has developed a comprehensive Unified SASE practice that helps organizations design, implement, and optimize secure connectivity strategies tailored to their operational requirements.
By leveraging Fortinet Unified SASE, GTS enables customers to simplify network management, strengthen cybersecurity, improve user experience, and enforce consistent security policies across hybrid cloud, branch offices, remote workers, and mobile users.
The company’s consultative approach distinguishes it from traditional technology providers. Rather than focusing solely on product deployment, GTS Holding begins every engagement by understanding the customer’s business objectives, compliance obligations, existing infrastructure, and long-term digital transformation roadmap. This enables the design of integrated architectures that support business growth while reducing operational complexity and cyber risk.
Commenting on the recognition, Eng. Ayman Al Sayed, Managing Director of GTS Holding, said:
“Being recognized as Fortinet Unified SASE Partner of the Year – EMEA 2024 is an extraordinary achievement for GTS Holding and a proud moment for our entire team. This regional recognition reflects our commitment to technical excellence, customer success, and continuous innovation. It also demonstrates that organizations across the region trust GTS Holding to deliver modern cybersecurity architectures that enable secure, scalable, and resilient digital transformation.”
The award also reflects the expertise and dedication of GTS Holding’s engineering teams, who continuously invest in advanced Fortinet certifications, technical specialization, and professional development to remain at the forefront of emerging networking and cybersecurity technologies.
These investments ensure customers receive world-class implementation services supported by deep technical knowledge and internationally recognized best practices.
As organizations continue embracing hybrid work models, cloud-native applications, artificial intelligence, and increasingly distributed business operations, secure connectivity has become fundamental to business success. GTS Holding helps customers navigate this transformation by implementing Zero Trust principles that continuously verify users and devices while delivering secure access to applications regardless of location.
Through integrated networking and security, customers benefit from reduced operational complexity, enhanced visibility, improved compliance, stronger cyber resilience, and a better digital experience for employees and customers alike.
Maged Sedky, Director of Business Development at GTS Holding, highlighted the strategic significance of the recognition.
“Receiving a regional award of this caliber demonstrates the strength of our partnership with Fortinet and the confidence our customers place in GTS Holding. It validates our strategy of combining global technologies with regional expertise to deliver solutions that create measurable business value. As organizations continue modernizing their digital infrastructure, we remain committed to helping them achieve secure transformation through innovation, collaboration, and operational excellence.”
The Fortinet Unified SASE Partner of the Year – EMEA 2024 award also reflects GTS Holding’s broader commitment to building long-term customer relationships. Every engagement extends beyond implementation to include knowledge transfer, optimization, technical advisory services, managed support, and continuous improvement, ensuring customers maximize the value of their technology investments.
