“We are extremely proud to receive this award and honored that Fortinet has recognized us as the best OT distributor. This award is a testament to the resources we have invested in OT security and the expertise we have developed as a team in this critical segment of cyber security,” says Patrick Scholl, Director of OT CoE at Infinigate Germany. “Our ambitious journey continues.
