The FNDN provides a forum for discussion around the implementation of the Fortinet API. Here I answer basic questions, solve complex problems, provide scalable solutions, and lead the direction of the developer ecosystem. The Fortinet API is used to automate, integrate, scale, and simplify your product or service, or to customize your security service offering through Fortinet products. The API connects over a standard REST/JSON API, or XML if thats your preference. Fortinet is a great place to work, and I really enjoy contributing directly to the security community in this role.
