Fortinet’s Karin Shopen and CDK Global's David Hahn kick off the Fortinet Security Automation Summit discuss the need for an automated security posture, and how to build one.

When was the last time your playbooks were updated? When was the last time your peers outside of Info Security were engaged regarding their role in a cyber incident? These are but a few of the questions we’ll review as part of the people and process variables that go into not only creating but maintaining a strong cyber security plan.

It has become increasingly challenging for many organizations to identify malicious activity within their network. Persistent cybercriminals use evasive technics, weaponize Artificial Intelligence (AI), and exploit fragmented defenses. As a result, the actor's window of opportunity continuously expands, threat volume increases and produces a constant need for operational awareness. On the other end, countering these threats, organizations commonly use various siloed point products, cluttering the flow of information, and making it challenging to navigate through the pile of alerts. The difficulties extend, as frequently these businesses lack the skilled cybersecurity staff to build, maintain, and operationalize a 24x7x365 security operations centre (SOC). If you have the same concerns and are considering your options, join us to review these Fortinet service options, and example use cases that demonstrate their benefits.

Join Max Zeumer and Jon Speer to learn about Fortinet's integrated SOC Automation model across every size and stage of maturity an organization is at and the best ways to implement and scale. In this session you will discover why automation is critical to improving the effectiveness of your security operations, limiting complexity that often creates gaps that are exploited by threat actors, and how the speed of activities and response are vital to rapidly scoping, adapting and countering sophisticated attacks before it's too late.
