The Cyber Threat Assessment Program (CTAP) Sales Methodology

  • Designed to help you during greenfield and renewal opportunities to convert prospects and expand your business by giving customers an in-depth view of the current state of their network.
  • After deploying a FortiGate to monitor your prospect’s network for a short period of time, a report is generated that provides visibility into their network risks, and allows you to position a clear path forward that will quickly gain buy-in from key technical and business decision makers.

When to use CTAP?

There are four key times to put CTAP into play with your prospects and customers:

Land – Use it as a pre-sales tool to generate interest and begin an impactful dialogue with prospects

Compete – Use assessments as a displacement tool to highlight areas where an incumbent is ineffective

Renew – Use an assessment to substantiate the need for additional features or FortiGuard services

Expand – Expand your account footprint and cross-sell more Security Fabric solutions

The FORTINET CTAP Difference

Superior Visibility – Fortinet solutions are powered by content security and threat intelligence from FortiGuard Labs, who work constantly to identify emerging applications and protect enterprises against new threats.

Deployment Flexibility – CTAPs allow multiple deployment options in order to minimise network disruption. This allows you the flexibility to meet your customer needs while demonstrating real value to their organisation.

Fortinet Security Fabric Cross Selling Opportunities – The CTAP can uncover additional opportunities where the broad and integrated Security Fabric comes into play – analytics, sandboxing, and more.

Actionable Recommendations – Each assessment report includes a set of actionable recommendations that technical staff can use to refine their security and network utilisation
