Secure the network that connects your plants, people, and partners
Western Ark designs, deploys, and supports Fortinet-based network security for manufacturers, logistics operators, and enterprises, protecting the systems your ERP and operations depend on.
Fortinet technology, delivered through trusted partners
We pair a leading network security platform with a Canadian distribution partner, so you get the right products, licensing, and support behind every project.
Partnered with Fortinet to design and deploy secure networks
Western Ark is a Fortinet Advocate partner. We work with the Fortinet Security Fabric, a connected portfolio covering firewalls, networking, and access, so protection and policy stay consistent from the data center to the plant floor.
Fortinet products sourced through Foreseeson
We partner with Foreseeson (foreseeson.com), a Canadian IT security distributor, for the supply of Fortinet products. That gives our customers a straightforward path to hardware, security subscriptions, and support renewals.
Network security across the whole environment
From the firewall at the edge to the switch on the shop floor, we build security into the network instead of adding it afterwards.
Next-generation firewalls
Fortinet FortiGate firewalls that combine threat protection, web and application control, and secure remote access in one platform at every site.
Secure SD-WAN
Connect plants, warehouses, depots, and offices with resilient links and application-aware routing, with security built into the connection.
Secure switching and wireless
Managed LAN and Wi-Fi with FortiSwitch and FortiAP, so wired and wireless access follow the same security policies as the rest of the network.
Zero-trust access
Verify users and devices before they reach applications. Replace broad VPN access with access rules based on identity, device posture, and need.
Visibility and central management
Manage policies from one place, collect logs, and report on activity across sites, so your team can see what is happening and act sooner.
Plant and OT network protection
Segment production and operational technology networks from the office network, and control which systems and vendors can connect, without disrupting the line.
Security that understands how your business runs
Network security works best when it reflects how the business actually operates. Because Western Ark also works on ERP, manufacturing, and supply chain systems, we design security around the traffic that matters: plant systems, warehouse and transport applications, supplier connections, and remote users.
That means clear segmentation, sensible access rules, and rollouts that are planned around production schedules, so protection improves without getting in the way of the work.
- A smaller attack surface through segmentation and least-privilege access
- Consistent policies across offices, plants, and remote workers
- Better visibility into threats, users, and applications
- Simpler licensing, renewals, and vendor management
Assess and design
Review your current network, risks, and compliance needs, then design an architecture and a phased plan that fits your sites and budget.
Deploy and migrate
Supply, configure, and cut over firewalls, switching, and wireless, including migration from existing vendors, with minimal downtime.
Secure remote and site access
Set up VPN, SD-WAN, and zero-trust access for staff, contractors, and partners who need to reach your systems safely.
Operate and support
Monitoring, policy changes, firmware updates, and renewals, handled by a team that knows your environment.
