My name is Douglas Rodriguez. I am a senior technology professional with over 35 years of hands on experience in enterprise networking, infrastructure operations, and cybersecurity. I currently work as a Network Specialist in New York, where I am responsible for the design, implementation, security, and ongoing support of complex network environments.
My technical background spans routing and switching, firewall architecture, VPN technologies, network segmentation, threat detection, and incident response, with a strong focus on maintaining highly available and secure systems. I work extensively with multiple technology vendors and platforms, integrating solutions that align with organizational security and operational requirements.
For more than two decades, my organization has relied on Fortinet as its primary security platform. This long standing partnership has grown into a collaborative operational model in which Fortinet functions as an extension of the internal security team, providing advanced threat intelligence, architectural guidance, and escalation support when required. The decision to standardize with Fortinet reflects a commitment to defense in depth, zero trust principles, and proactive cybersecurity posture.
I take pride in supporting a forward looking security environment that emphasizes continuous improvement, resilience, and readiness against evolving cyber threats that Fortinet assists us implementing.
