Liquid Networx, a national Fortinet partner and the first Fortinet Engage Preferred Services Partner (EPSP) in North America, announced on February 20, 2026 that it will offer dedicated and resident certified Fortinet engineers to enterprise customers. The new service expands its EPSP role and is designed to provide expert design, implementation, and ongoing support for Fortinet solutions, including SASE, Zero Trust, and the Fortinet Security Fabric.
The EPSP program is built on three core concepts—Engagement, Business Model, and Specializations—and requires partners to demonstrate verified capacity and experience in service delivery through a rigorous qualification process. Liquid Networx’s status as the first EPSP in North America underscores its advanced expertise and close partnership with Fortinet.
Liquid Networx has previously been recognized by Fortinet, winning the Unified SASE Partner of the Year Award in May 2025 and securing a major DLP deal with a global retail enterprise in March 2025. The new service builds on that track record and positions the company to deliver high‑impact security outcomes for its clients.
Robert Short, Vice President of Liquid Networx, said, "Adding dedicated and resident engineer engagements expands our national EPSP role with Fortinet to deliver seamless, high‑impact security outcomes for enterprise clients."
By offering dedicated, resident engineers, Liquid Networx differentiates itself from other Fortinet partners that typically provide on‑call or project‑based support. The new offering allows clients to embed Fortinet expertise directly into their operations, potentially reducing time to deployment and improving ongoing security posture.
The announcement did not disclose the exact duration of the engineer engagements, the specific certifications held by the engineers, or the full scope of services beyond design, implementation, and ongoing support. However, the focus on SASE, Zero Trust, and Security Fabric indicates a comprehensive approach to modern security architecture.
The new service expands Liquid Networx’s EPSP role and provides enterprise clients with a dedicated, high‑impact security resource, reinforcing the partner’s position as a leader in Fortinet professional services.
