Prestigious industry recognition celebrates innovation and excellence in OT cybersecurity
Hayleys Fentons IT (FIT) has been recognized as the Fortinet Operational Technology (OT) Partner of the Year 2025 at the prestigious Eguardian Click 2025 Awards, marking a significant milestone in the company’s cybersecurity journey.
The award recognises FIT’s excellence in delivering advanced cybersecurity solutions that protect industrial systems, critical infrastructure, and operational environments. Presented by Fortinet, a global leader in cybersecurity solutions, the recognition highlights the company’s strong capabilities in securing complex OT ecosystems against evolving cyber threats.
Operational Technology (OT) refers to the hardware and software systems that monitor and control physical processes and infrastructure, including manufacturing plants, utilities, energy networks, and transportation systems. As cyberattacks increasingly target these environments, securing OT systems has become just as critical as protecting traditional IT infrastructure.
Commenting on the achievement, Yoosof Ihthisham, General Manager of FIT, said:
“This recognition is a testament to the close collaboration between our skilled technical teams, trusted technology partners, and valued customers. It reinforces our continued focus on innovation, deep expertise, and delivering cybersecurity solutions that protect critical operational environments and ensure long-term resilience.”
FIT extended its appreciation to its employees, customers, and partners for their continued trust and support, noting that such milestones are driven by shared goals and strong partnerships. – maybe include this in Mr. Yoosoof’s quote
