About
Hey, I am Kevin Guenay, and I work for a global cybersecurity and IT solutions distributor as a senior solution engineer. In my work, I help our partners with their woes and questions related to cybersecurity solutions, support proof of concepts, and deliver expert-level training and workshops, among other things. I now deal almost exclusively with Fortinet products, but in my previous life at an MSP, I worked with HPE Aruba’s and Cisco’s portfolios as well.
I live something I like to call “service-oriented work”, which, to me, means making sure that everyone who works with me comes away feeling happy, because if the people I work with aren’t happy, I’m not. This means putting in some extra time and preparing for whatever I do, because things should get better.
I’m using this blog to post about whatever I think is interesting or helpful. During my journey in this industry, I’ve read so many things from so many people that helped me, and I want to give something back.
Overall, I’m just a guy from Austria who loves what he does, and I want other people to share my love.
The content of this blog represents my own views and opinions and does not reflect my employer’s stance on anything. I am my own person.

Connecting to an HA FortiClient EMS cluster without an external load balancer
Do you want redundancy? Don’t answer that question; the answer is “Yes!” This means you want your FortiClient EMS deployment to be redundant, and this gives you the problem of how to handle the FortiClients and FortiGate connection to your HA EMS nodes if you don’t have an external load balancer. Well, dear reader, I’ve…

FortiClient EMS certificate management for VPN, full SSL/TLS inspection, and 802.1X
Certificates are ubiquitous in our daily life, whether we realize it or not, and most people fall into one of two camps when it comes to them: Both sides have valid points, but we can all agree that we need them, be it for securing web traffic, enabling strong authentication or to get rid of…

The FortiGate Ansible best practices baseline configurator
Back when I initially published my FortiGate best practices baseline, I had already planned to create configurators to more easily deploy what the baseline recommends. Due to time constraints, this wasn’t possible, however. I have now gotten around to taking the first step by publishing the FortiGate Ansible best practices baseline configurator on GitHub. The…
