Fortinet said Monday that has invested $75 million in router maker Linksys as part of a strategic alliance aimed at securing work from home networks. The companies said they plan to work together to build enterprise-grade connectivity and security into Linksys’ portfolio of wireless routers.
“To compete effectively in today’s digital world, the enterprise-grade security and high-performance connectivity enjoyed across today’s corporate edges, including the LAN, WAN, data center, and cloud, must now be extended to mobile end-users, IoT devices, and home offices,” Fortinet wrote in a press release.
