Digital transformation, distributed work models, customer experiences and a myriad of other trends are driving more complexity and creating more risks than ever before.  This year, we’ll spend more on cybersecurity, and have more people working in cybersecurity than ever before and yet, we continue to be stymied by failures of simple and intermediate controls.   As outlined in Fortinet’s latest threat research, we’re still struggling with vulnerability management, configuration management, security awareness and other elements of basic security hygiene. 

This session address the changing cybersecurity landscape and practical strategies for better risk management and business outcomes. The discussion will focus on ways to get the most from your security program:

• Optimize and scale your cloud security
• Identify, respond, and patch threats faster with global threat intelligence
• Protect your workloads and applications with automated protection, detection, and response
• Leverage AI to aid with the cybersecurity skills shortage

Panel Discussion: Hear how some of the biggest companies worldwide are challenging the cyber threat environment. 

Is Zero Trust Transformation in need of transformation? Agents on the device have been the accepted norm to enable zero trust, but why add another agent when you can use an 'agent' that already exists - the browser? What use cases can be covered with browser-based zero trust - and which can not? And how much does this impact your ability to get to what matters - a better security posture without compromising user experience and productivity?

Join the discussion and provide your perspective on how zero trust architectures and approaches can evolve to meet the modern application and desired user experience landscape.
 

Fireside Chat: Setting the stage with OT trends, followed by a Q&A on what is top of mind for PACCAR and Google.

Effective cloud outcomes are largely an advanced security operations, SecOps, effort. Failure doesn't come from lack of security tooling options, rather that these tools are not organizationally aligned to support proper workflow, fail to provide visibility, and actually increase risk because of longer time to identify and remediate threats. The challenge of bringing tools into a framework
that improves SOC efficiency and provides human scale suffers from complications in bringing multi-provider and multi-vendor ecosystems into harmony across security workflows, recruiting multiple organizational roles as security contributors, and managing the practice with scarce resources in people and skills. In this session Fortinet will show a real-world implementation that created a successful cloud outcome by leveraging Al and ML to harmonize signals, speed response, and drives down risk

AI, Cybersecurity, and the Election: The View From Washington

After a year in which Washington has examined many aspects of artificial intelligence, where does the government actually stand on AI and possible regulation? Have Administration and Congressional actions on AI made any impact on how AI is viewed and will be used going forward? What does the federal government believe are the cybersecurity issues surrounding AI design, development and deployment? In an election year, how is AI factoring into the national debate? Hear the latest on how Washington is approaching AI and cybersecurity and what might be the impact on industry.
