Why Your Next FortiGate Should Come From Ogma — Free VA Scans, BAS Simulations, Threat Intel, and NSE 7 Support Included

Every authorised Fortinet reseller in India can sell you a FortiGate. They will generate a quotation, process the order, email you a licence key, and move on to their next transaction. The box arrives, your network team racks it, and you are on your own. If you are lucky, the reseller answers the phone when something breaks three months later. If you are not, you are Googling FortiOS error messages at 2 AM while your CEO is on a conference call asking why the VPN is down.

We know this because we have inherited dozens of these deployments. Organisations come to Ogma after years with a reseller who treated their FortiGate purchase as a commodity transaction — ship the box, collect the margin, disappear until renewal. The firewall is half-configured. Features they are paying for sit untouched. Security policies are copy-pasted from a generic template. The IPS profile has never been tuned. SSL deep inspection is disabled because "it was causing issues" that nobody bothered to troubleshoot.

Ogma does not operate this way. When you buy your FortiGate through us, you are not just purchasing hardware and a subscription. You are getting a partnership that includes capabilities no other Fortinet reseller in India bundles into the purchase price — because no other reseller has the in-house security operations infrastructure to deliver them.

What You Get When You Buy FortiGate From Ogma

Let us be specific about what "buying from Ogma" actually means, because vague promises of "value-added services" are the currency of every IT reseller's pitch deck. Here is exactly what Ogma includes — at no additional cost — with every FortiGate purchase:

1. 1,000 Vulnerability Assessment Scans

When you purchase a FortiGate through Ogma, we include 1,000 vulnerability assessment scans through our VA platform — powered by OpenVAS (GVM) and managed by our in-house security operations team. These are not toy scans from a free online tool. These are comprehensive, authenticated network and host vulnerability assessments that cover:

• Network infrastructure scanning: Every router, switch, firewall, server, and endpoint on your network — scanned for known CVEs, misconfigurations, default credentials, and exposed services.
• Web application scanning: OWASP Top 10 coverage for your web-facing applications — SQL injection, XSS, CSRF, authentication flaws, and server misconfigurations.
• Compliance-mapped reporting: Scan results mapped to regulatory frameworks relevant to Indian enterprises — RBI CSF, SEBI CSCRF, PCI DSS, ISO 27001, CERT-In guidelines, and DPDPA.
• Remediation guidance: Every finding comes with specific, actionable remediation steps — not generic "patch your systems" advice, but exact CVE references, affected versions, and fix procedures.

At market rates, 1,000 VA scans from a qualified security vendor would cost ₹15–25 lakhs per year. You get them included with your FortiGate purchase. The logic is simple: your FortiGate protects the perimeter, but if you do not know what vulnerabilities exist inside your network, you are defending a castle without knowing where the holes in the walls are. VA scans find the holes. Your FortiGate blocks the attackers. Together, they form a complete security posture.

2. 256 Breach & Attack Simulations

This is where Ogma truly separates from every other FortiGate reseller in India. We include 256 breach and attack simulation (BAS) credits through our Caldera-based adversary emulation platform. BAS does what vulnerability assessment cannot — it tests whether your security controls actually stop real-world attacks.

• 29 adversary profiles: Simulations based on real threat actor TTPs (Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures) mapped to the MITRE ATT&CK framework. We emulate APT groups that actively target Indian enterprises — Sidewinder, Patchwork, Transparent Tribe, and others.
• End-to-end kill chain testing: From initial access through lateral movement, privilege escalation, data exfiltration, and command-and-control — we test every stage of the attack lifecycle against your actual defences.
• FortiGate-specific validation: We specifically test whether your FortiGate IPS signatures, application control policies, web filtering rules, and SSL inspection configuration detect and block the simulated attacks. This tells you exactly how well your FortiGate is protecting you — not in theory, but in practice.
• Gap analysis reports: Every simulation generates a detailed report showing what was detected, what was blocked, what was missed, and what needs to change. Our engineers then help you implement the fixes — often by tuning your FortiGate configuration.

BAS services from specialised security vendors cost ₹20–40 lakhs per year for this volume of simulations. Ogma includes them because a FortiGate that has not been tested against real attack scenarios is a FortiGate running on faith. We prefer evidence.

3. Free Threat Intelligence Subscription

Every FortiGate buyer from Ogma receives a complimentary subscription to our threat intelligence platform — powered by MISP (Malware Information Sharing Platform) with over 390,000 indicators of compromise (IOCs) from 35+ intelligence feeds. This includes:

• Real-time IOC feeds: Malicious IP addresses, domains, URLs, file hashes, email addresses, and YARA rules — updated continuously from open-source and commercial intelligence sources.
• TAXII 2.1 integration: Standards-based threat intelligence sharing that can feed directly into your SIEM, SOAR, or other security tools via STIX/TAXII protocols.
• India-specific intelligence: We curate IOCs specifically relevant to Indian organisations — threat actors targeting Indian banking, government, manufacturing, and IT sectors.
• Dark web monitoring: Alerts when your organisation's credentials, domains, or intellectual property appear on dark web marketplaces and forums.
• MITRE ATT&CK mapping: Every IOC mapped to ATT&CK techniques, giving you context on how the threat operates — not just what to block, but why it matters.

A managed threat intelligence subscription with this level of coverage and curation costs ₹8–15 lakhs per year from specialised TI vendors. We include it because your FortiGate's FortiGuard intelligence is excellent for perimeter defence, but organisational security requires broader visibility — into threats that target your people, your brand, and your supply chain, not just your network boundary.

4. Free Partner Support for the Duration of Your Subscription

This is the commitment that surprises every new Ogma customer. For the entire duration of your FortiGate subscription — whether that is one year, three years, or five years — you have direct access to Ogma's technical support team. No separate support contract. No per-incident fees. No "that is outside the scope of your support plan" deflections.

• NSE 7 certified engineers: Our team holds Fortinet's NSE 5, NSE 7, and FCSS certifications. NSE 7 is Fortinet's second-highest certification, validating advanced expertise in enterprise FortiGate deployments, Security Fabric integration, and SD-WAN architecture.
• Configuration assistance: SSL deep inspection setup, SD-WAN configuration, HA failover, VDOM design, policy optimization, VPN troubleshooting — anything related to your FortiGate.
• Firmware upgrade guidance: We test firmware versions against your configuration profile before recommending upgrades. We provide rollback plans. We schedule the upgrade window with your team.
• Security hardening: Proactive configuration reviews to ensure your FortiGate is utilizing every feature your subscription includes. Most organisations use less than 40% of their FortiGate's capabilities — we fix that.
• Incident response support: If you detect suspicious activity or suspect a breach, our team assists with log analysis, forensic investigation, and containment recommendations.

NSE 7 level technical support as a managed service typically costs ₹5–10 lakhs per year. You get it included because our business model is built on long-term relationships, not one-time transactions. When your FortiGate needs an upgrade, expansion, or replacement — we are the partner you call because we have been in the trenches with your team for years.

5. Expert-Level Deployments — Proven Across India's Most Demanding Environments

When Ogma deploys your FortiGate, it is not a junior engineer following a quickstart guide. Our deployment engineers have configured FortiGate environments at some of the most complex and security-sensitive organisations in India:

• Banking & Financial Services: Parijat Induslnd Bank, J&K Bank, Biz2Credit — where FortiGate configurations must comply with RBI CSF, SEBI CSCRF, and PCI DSS simultaneously, with CERT-In reporting integration.
• Government & PSUs: IOCL (Indian Oil Corporation Limited), EPFO (Employees' Provident Fund Organisation), ONGC, SPCMIL, NTPC-SAIL Power Company, PowerGrid Corporation — where deployment complexity includes multi-site architectures, VDOM isolation, classified network segmentation, and GEM procurement compliance.
• Education: Shiv Nadar University, Ashoka University — campus-wide FortiGate deployments with student/faculty VDOM separation, high-density wireless integration with FortiAP, and content filtering policies.
• Telecom & IT: Comviva (Mahindra Group), SandMartin, CetArk — high-throughput FortiGate configurations handling thousands of concurrent sessions with SD-WAN, application-aware routing, and API-integrated security orchestration.
• Manufacturing & Energy: SembCorp, Jubilant FoodWorks, Jubilant Ingrevia, BADOTHERM — OT/IT convergence environments where FortiGate separates industrial control networks from corporate IT with strict zone-based segmentation.
• Digital Platforms: Marketoppers — FortiGate deployed for SaaS platform protection with WAF integration, DDoS mitigation, and API gateway security.

And these are just the names we can mention. We have deployed FortiGate environments at hundreds of other organisations across India — from 50-employee SMBs to 10,000+ employee enterprises. Every deployment follows Ogma's hardened configuration baseline, tuned for the specific industry, regulatory environment, and threat landscape of the organisation.

The Math That Makes This Obvious

Let us put actual numbers on this. Consider a mid-enterprise FortiGate 200F deployment with a 3-year UTP + FortiCare subscription:

The FortiGate itself costs the same — we are an authorised Fortinet partner with competitive pricing and proper GST invoicing. The difference is everything else. Other resellers charge separately for each of these services — if they can even provide them. Most cannot, because they do not have a VA platform, a BAS platform, a threat intelligence feed, or NSE 7 engineers on staff. They are box sellers. Ogma is a security operations company that also sells boxes.

Why Can Ogma Afford to Include All This?

This is the question every procurement team asks, and it deserves an honest answer.

Ogma operates its own security operations infrastructure — VA scanners (GVM/OpenVAS), BAS platform (Caldera), threat intelligence (MISP), and a team of NSE-certified engineers — because these are our core business. We use these platforms to deliver paid services to hundreds of clients. The marginal cost of extending access to a FortiGate buyer is minimal compared to the long-term relationship value.

Our calculation is straightforward:

1. VA scans surface vulnerabilities. Many of those vulnerabilities require additional security products to fix — endpoint security, email security, network segmentation. Ogma sells those products.
2. BAS simulations expose control gaps. Those gaps often require upgraded FortiGate models, additional Fortinet products (FortiSandbox, FortiAnalyzer, FortiSIEM), or expanded subscriptions. Ogma sells those upgrades.
3. Threat intelligence creates awareness. When a CISO sees active threat actors targeting their industry, the conversation shifts from "do we need better security?" to "how fast can we deploy it?" Ogma is already their trusted partner.
4. NSE 7 support builds trust. When your engineers call our engineers at 2 AM during a firewall incident and we resolve it, you do not shop around for the next FortiGate. You call Ogma.

We give away enormous value upfront because we know — from a decade of experience — that organisations who see the full picture of their security posture buy more security products. And they buy them from the partner who showed them the picture.

What Happens After You Buy

Here is the timeline of what happens when you purchase a FortiGate through Ogma — so you know exactly what to expect:

1. Day 1: Purchase order received. FortiGate licence activated same day. Hardware shipped (or collected from our Gurugram office for local clients).
2. Week 1: Ogma engineer conducts a deployment planning call. We review your network architecture, security requirements, compliance obligations, and integration points. We design a deployment plan specific to your environment — not a template.
3. Week 2–3: Physical installation and initial configuration. Our engineer racks the FortiGate, configures interfaces, policies, VPN tunnels, SD-WAN rules, and security profiles. SSL deep inspection is configured properly — with certificate deployment and exception handling.
4. Week 4: First VA scan cycle. We scan your entire network using our GVM platform. You receive a compliance-mapped vulnerability report. Our engineers review findings with your team and recommend FortiGate policy adjustments to mitigate critical findings.
5. Month 2: First BAS simulation. We run adversary emulation against your FortiGate deployment to validate that IPS signatures, application control, web filtering, and SSL inspection are actually detecting and blocking real attack patterns.
6. Month 2+: Threat intelligence subscription activated. Your SOC team (or our managed SOC, if you use it) receives curated IOC feeds relevant to your industry. FortiGate external threat feeds can be configured to consume these IOCs directly.
7. Ongoing: Free technical support for configuration changes, firmware upgrades, troubleshooting, and security hardening — for the entire duration of your subscription.
