Operator Signal: TAILWIND

Fortinet is firing on all cylinders — 14% revenue growth, 18% product revenue growth, and record operating margins. FortiSASE billings up 100%+ YoY signals a platform consolidation wave that benefits security vendors with integrated stacks. The Secure AI Data Center launch positions them at the intersection of two mega-trends.

Founder Implication
