WHY PARTICIPATE?
Sporting events like the Fortinet Cup Championship attract diverse audiences, including sports enthusiasts, professionals, families, and youth. By hosting the Cybersecurity Expo alongside the tournament, we are offering a valuable opportunity for people from all walks of life to engage with and learn about cybersecurity. This event aims to bridge the gap between technical jargon and everyday language, making cybersecurity accessible and relevant to everyone.
This expo brings together cybersecurity experts, and innovators, allowing them to showcase their knowledge and expertise. From the latest in threat detection and prevention to secure communication technologies, attendees have the chance to witness firsthand how these solutions can protect individuals, businesses, and organizations from ever-evolving cyber threats.
One of the most exciting features of this unique event is the inclusion of real-world cybersecurity demonstrations. Attendees will have the opportunity to interact with our Security Experts at the product booth area to learn about our solutions and real life scenarios.
The expo will feature keynote speakers, like Derek Manky that will share their insights, experiences, and visions for the future of cybersecurity.
We believe that the world of sports can provide valuable lessons for the cybersecurity community. Both domains require teamwork, strategy, resilience, and adaptability. By drawing parallels between sportsmanship and cybersecurity practices, we aim to empower attendees with a fresh perspective on how to tackle cybersecurity challenges effectively.
