The company also demonstrated sustained growth in service revenue, up 25% year-over-year, supported by its FortiGuard security subscriptions and FortiCare technical support services. Despite increased operating expenses, particularly in sales and marketing and R&D to support growth, Fortinet maintained healthy operating income, which grew 32% year-over-year for the quarter.
