Get ready to kick off the Security Operations Summit with an energizing welcome that sets the stage for what’s ahead. In this opening message, Fortinet leaders will highlight the driving forces behind today’s SecOps transformation—including the growing role of AI and automation in combating cyber threats. Attendees will gain a high-level view of the day’s agenda, what to expect from each session, and how Fortinet is empowering security teams to move faster, work smarter, and stay ahead of adversaries. Whether you're leading a SOC or on the front lines, this welcome will inspire you to rethink what’s possible in the era of AI-powered security operations.

In this session, Derek Manky, Fortinet’s VP of Global Threat Intelligence, and Michael Daniel, President and CEO of Cyber Threat Alliance, will discuss the findings from Fortinet’s latest Global Threat Landscape Report and how enterprise leaders can adapt to increasingly sophisticated attacks, such as nation-state threats and supply chain vulnerabilities. They will share insights and realistic strategies for establishing on proactive defense strategies, risk management, and the role of innovation in combating these threats. 

Robert May, Fortinet’s EVP of Technology and Product Management, shares his vision of a modern security operations center and Fortinet’s continued innovation across security operations. He will discuss Fortinet’s current SecOps strategy and demonstrate how AI will continue to shape Fortinet’s technology, as well as addressing how Fortinet can continue to accelerate innovation and outpace today’s threat landscape. The session will include a demo of the coming FortiAnayzer Agentic AI capabilities.

Preview to follow shortly.

Fortinet research reveals that 74% of organizations struggle with alert overload and fragmented tools. How can you jumpstart SecOps without adding complexity? Discover how a unified data lake, built-in SOC Automation, and embedded AI underpins modern operations—enabling threat response at the speed of AI across endpoints, networks, and cloud.

- Deploy turnkey SecOps with faster detection and smarter response—all from a single platform
- Streamline workflows and scale without adding headcount
- Watch a live demo of autonomous AI capabilities in action

How do security teams find threats post-exploitation that have bypassed perimeter defenses and may be lurking on their complex networks? The answer – leverage continuous network monitoring, deception, and AI to detect attacker activity. During this session you will see a live demo of how to combine network detection and response (NDR) with deception technology, to: 

- Build in-depth investigations to find attacker TTPs like command and control (C2) and data exfiltration 
- Catch attackers as they target your resources
- Monitor every device on the network passively, without impacting performance or availability

The advanced enterprise SOC faces determined attackers across a dynamic attack surface and a daily workload of time-critical tasks. SIEM and SOAR together provide the centralized threat detection, incident management, and AI-driven automation needed to keep up with the workload and keep attackers at bay. This session will explore how these solutions work individually and together to support effective and efficient SOC and NOC/IT operations. Topics include:

- SIEM and SOAR overview and customer use cases
- The value of GenAI in simplifying and accelerating analyst activities
- Day-in-the-life demonstration of FortiSIEM and its new native SOAR automation capability

We’ll close the Security Operations Summit by reflecting on key insights shared throughout the day—from executive strategies to hands-on SecOps innovations. You’ll walk away with practical guidance, new perspectives, and a clearer path to simplifying operations, accelerating response, and scaling your security program with AI. Thank you for joining us as we shape the future of SecOps—together.
