Prestigious Regional Recognition Celebrates GTS Holding’s Leadership in Delivering Enterprise Cybersecurity Solutions Across the Middle East
Cairo, Egypt – 2021 — GTS Holding is proud to announce that it has been recognized as the Fortinet Partner of the Year – Middle East 2021, one of the highest regional honors presented by Fortinet to acknowledge exceptional partner performance, technical excellence, customer success, and strategic contribution to advancing cybersecurity across the Middle East.
Presented annually by Fortinet, a global leader in cybersecurity driving the convergence of networking and security, the award recognizes partners that consistently deliver outstanding business results while helping organizations strengthen cyber resilience through innovative technologies, trusted advisory services, and world-class implementation capabilities.
Receiving the Fortinet Partner of the Year – Middle East 2021 award represents a defining milestone in GTS Holding’s growth journey. It demonstrates the company’s ability to compete at the regional level while delivering enterprise-class cybersecurity solutions that address the evolving needs of organizations operating in increasingly complex digital environments.
As digital transformation accelerated throughout the Middle East, organizations faced unprecedented opportunities and challenges. Enterprises expanded cloud adoption, modernized networks, enabled remote workforces, and invested heavily in digital services that demanded stronger cybersecurity, greater resilience, and more intelligent infrastructure.
At the same time, cyber threats became increasingly sophisticated.
Traditional perimeter-based security models were no longer sufficient to protect organizations against ransomware, advanced persistent threats, identity-based attacks, cloud vulnerabilities, and increasingly complex cyber risks.
Businesses required technology partners capable of delivering comprehensive cybersecurity strategies that combined advanced technologies with practical expertise and long-term support.
Recognizing these evolving market needs, GTS Holding invested in building one of the region’s most comprehensive cybersecurity practices.
Working closely with Fortinet, the company developed integrated solutions spanning secure networking, next-generation firewalls, Secure SD-WAN, endpoint protection, cloud security, Zero Trust architectures, Security Operations, network access control, secure wireless infrastructure, and centralized security management through the Fortinet Security Fabric.
Rather than implementing individual products, GTS Holding focused on designing complete cybersecurity ecosystems tailored to each customer’s operational objectives, regulatory requirements, and long-term technology strategy.
This consultative approach enabled organizations to strengthen cyber resilience while supporting business continuity, operational efficiency, and sustainable digital transformation.
The Fortinet Partner of the Year – Middle East 2021 award recognizes not only technical capability but also the company’s ability to build trusted relationships with customers based on transparency, collaboration, and measurable business value.
From initial assessment and solution design to implementation, optimization, managed services, and continuous advisory support, GTS Holding remains committed to delivering successful outcomes throughout the entire customer lifecycle.
Commenting on the recognition, Eng. Ayman Al Sayed, Managing Director of GTS Holding, said:
“Being named Fortinet Partner of the Year – Middle East 2021 is one of the proudest achievements in our company’s history. This recognition reflects the dedication of our entire team, the confidence of our customers, and the strength of our strategic partnership with Fortinet. It validates our vision of delivering world-class cybersecurity solutions that enable organizations across the region to innovate securely and confidently embrace digital transformation.”
One of the key factors behind GTS Holding’s success has been its continuous investment in people.
The company has built a highly skilled team of certified engineers, cybersecurity consultants, solution architects, and project specialists who continuously expand their expertise through Fortinet certification programs, advanced technical training, and hands-on implementation experience.
This investment ensures that customers benefit from globally recognized best practices delivered by professionals with deep regional market knowledge.
Beyond technology delivery, GTS Holding has consistently promoted customer education and cybersecurity awareness.
Through executive briefings, technical workshops, solution demonstrations, partner events, and collaborative initiatives with Fortinet, the company has helped organizations better understand emerging cyber threats while introducing modern approaches to securing increasingly distributed digital environments.
This commitment to education has strengthened customer confidence while reinforcing GTS Holding’s reputation as a trusted strategic advisor.
Mohamed Mady, Technical Director at GTS Holding, highlighted the significance of the regional recognition.
“Cybersecurity has become one of the most important strategic priorities for organizations across every industry. Our partnership with Fortinet enables us to deliver integrated solutions that combine innovation, intelligence, and operational simplicity. Receiving the Fortinet Partner of the Year – Middle East 2021 award reflects our engineering excellence, our customer-first philosophy, and our commitment to helping organizations build resilient cybersecurity foundations for the future.”
The award also recognizes the collaborative efforts of GTS Holding’s engineering teams, business development professionals, project managers, sales specialists, consultants, and customer success teams.
Their shared commitment to excellence has enabled the company to establish trusted partnerships with organizations across financial services, government, healthcare, telecommunications, education, manufacturing, energy, hospitality, and critical infrastructure.
