The Home Depot exists to solve a fundamental challenge for millions of people: making home improvement accessible, affordable, and achievable for everyone.

At its core, The Home Depot is driven by a simple but powerful mission: to help people improve the places they call home.

Founded in 1984 with one mission - BETTER INGREDIENTS.

In 2000, brothers Ken and Michael Xie founded Fortinet with a clear vision: to make possible a digital world that we can always trust. Ken, already a cybersecurity veteran who had previously founded two other security companies, recognized a critical gap in the market - organizations needed comprehensive, high-performance cybersecurity solutions that didn't force them to choose between protection and speed. This insight led to the creation of FortiGate, their first physical firewall, which would become the cornerstone of what would grow into one of the world's largest and most trusted cybersecurity companies. Today, Fortinet has evolved from that single-product startup into a global cybersecurity leader serving over 660,000 customers worldwide. The company's Fortinet Security Fabric platform now secures the entire digital attack surface - from devices and data to applications and data centers. Headquartered in Sunnyvale, California, with more than 10,000 employees across the globe, Fortinet continues to pioneer innovations in AI-powered security, secure networking, cloud security, and unified SASE. Their mission remains unwavering: to protect people, devices, and data everywhere, making the digital world not just more accessible, but fundamentally more secure.

Petco operates 1,500+ retail locations across the U.S., Mexico, and Puerto Rico, supported by eight distribution centers and a 29,000-person workforce. The attack surface spans point-of-sale systems across physical stores, veterinary hospital infrastructure (250+ Vetco Total Care facilities), e-commerce platforms, and supply chain logistics networks. The threat model includes payment card data at scale, protected health information from veterinary services, and operational technology managing physical infrastructure. The security stack runs Python and PowerShell for automation, with SIEM/EDR/NDR providing detection coverage and SOAR orchestrating response workflows. Network architecture relies on next-generation firewalls, network access control, and SASE frameworks including secure web gateways and zero trust network access. Cloud security tooling protects hybrid environments as retail operations increasingly depend on connected systems. Security teams handle both legacy retail infrastructure dating to the company's 1965 founding and modern cloud-native services. The scope includes securing customer transactions, veterinary patient data, third-party integrations with adoption partners (the company facilitated roughly 7 million adoptions through its charitable arm), and operational systems keeping stores, clinics, and distribution centers running across three countries.
