FCP – Secure Networking — Fortinet Certified Professional – Secure Networking
Fortinet's professional-level network security certification introduced as part of the October 2025 program restructure — replacing the NSE 4/5 level within the new FCA → FCP → FCSS → FCX hierarchy. Covers FortiGate administration, FortiOS configuration, Security Fabric, VPN, and IDS/IPS in Fortinet environments. Not DoD 8140 approved. Fortinet has the largest market share in the firewall market globally, making Fortinet certifications broadly relevant in enterprise environments. The 2025 restructure consolidated multiple NSE exams into cleaner role-based tracks.
