Six Degrees Makes the Benefits of SASE Accessible Through Managed SASE Service – Powered by Fortinet

Our Managed SASE service protects users and data wherever work happens. And as the only UK Fortinet Advanced Partner to hold both SD-WAN and SASE Specializations, we demonstrate our commitment to delivering market leading networking services that maximise security, user experience, and operational efficiency.

London, UK, Tuesday 2nd September 2025 – Secure, integrated cloud services provider, Six Degrees, today announced that it has launched its Managed SASE service. Available in three tiers – Essential, Standard and Advanced – the service delivers secure, scalable connectivity to users regardless of their location.

Expanding Six Degrees’ managed SD-WAN and SD-Branch services, Managed SASE leverages technology from Fortinet, the global cyber security leader driving the convergence of networking and security. The expanded service provides frictionless adoption for existing managed SD-WAN customers and ensures Six Degrees is well placed to support customers in the adoption of a full SASE (secure access service edge) solution.

In addition, Six Degrees has reinforced its commitment to Fortinet as a key networking and security partner by achieving the SASE Partner Specialization as part of the Fortinet Engage Partner Program. As the only UK Advanced Partner to hold both SD-WAN and SASE Specializations, Six Degrees is well placed to support customers in all aspects of their SASE journey – simplifying otherwise complex regulatory requirements for businesses operating in compliance heavy industries like finance and legal and making the benefits of SASE accessible to the UK mid-market.

Vince DeLuca, CEO, Six Degrees, said: “Security can no longer be an afterthought – it must be embedded from the ground up.  At Six Degrees, Fortinet underpins our SD-WAN and Managed SASE services, enabling us to deliver the next generation of secure, high-performance networking to organisations across the UK.”

Stuart Hinge, Product Director, Six Degrees, said: “Our Managed SASE solution, combined with our SD-WAN service, offers a unified SASE platform designed to protect customers’ applications, users, and devices across all locations. It provides a single platform and mitigates the need for multiple point products, leading to lower cost of ownership with visibility through a single management plane and data lake to keep our customers secure and working effectively.”

Chris Briers, Senior Regional Manager, MSSP – UKI, Fortinet, said: “Fortinet’s Engage Partner Program provides Six Degrees with a valuable, flexible platform to build a profitable and highly differentiated security practice. By achieving the SASE Partner Specialization, Six Degrees has demonstrated the knowledge and skills necessary to become a partner of distinction.”
