Fortinet shares rose 8.5 percent in five days while cybersecurity peers like CrowdStrike and Palo Alto Networks were flat. A look at Fortinet's new ASIC-powered firewall appliances, its focus on mid-market and government contracts, and why the market is pricing a security-hardware renaissance even as software-defined solutions dominate headlines. Plus: how the company's FortiOS 8.0 update tightened zero-trust access for distributed workforces, and what the Fortinet earnings beat in late May signals about enterprise spending priorities in 2026.
