What executives need to know

The changes we are witnessing nowadays call for a new era of security. As the Geopolitical foundations of the world are moving, as the Human Skills are challenged, as Technologies are reaching new Heights, we simply cannot continue to stack products on products and hope for the best. Economic headwinds, higher risks, and a new set of regulations are changing the way we exercise our professions. The next phase of our transformation needs to be inspired by something else that product features. This presentation explains the new way for conducting successful digital transformation in a world that will soon have little to do with what used to be our comfort zone. The Office of the CISO of Fortinet provides a personalized support to top executives in the many dimensions of their roles; security strategies, crisis communication, latest threat trends, skill shortage to name a few. Alain Sanchez advises the board of Top 100 Enterprises and Tier 1 Operators engaged in major Digital Transformations.

Session Overview:

All organizations - regardless of size, geography or industry - face the same cybersecurity threats and need equal cyber defenses to scale and grow their businesses.  In this session, I’ll introduce the latest capabilities that Fortinet is launching, which make it very easy to adopt technologies like SASE & zero trust, as well as rapidly expand Security Operations coverage.  I’ll also demonstrate the latest advancements of GenAI, including the use of Agentic AI, to automate and streamline NOC & SOC processes end-to-end. 

Session Overview:

Adversaries are shifting strategies to target a converging IT and OT landscape. Nation state APT and cybercriminal enterprise are teaming up in a cross-function effort, sharing infrastructure and advanced payloads that target not just IT networks, but critical infrastructure and OT directly. The result is a paradigm shift as attacks like Ransomware become much more targeted and strategic in nature. Playbooks are incorporating more and more TTPs (Techniques, Tactics, and Procedures) into their offense, streamlining their attacks so that they move with more agility. The average attack was moving 43% faster in 2024 than 2023.

It’s crucial that we respond in a strategic manner, building an informed defense while leveraging agentic AI to augment and converge the NOC and SOC. Agentic AI can proactively protect against threats, while generative AI can bring a single pane of glass approach to the operations team to converge the NOC and SOC to detect and respond to threats faster than they can move. This talk will explore how FortiGuard Labs threat intelligence, combined with Security Operations, can break an attack faster than the adversary can move.

Session Overview:

Your data may be encrypted, but if it’s been intercepted, it’s not necessarily safe. In this talk, we reveal how adversaries today are harvesting encrypted data for decryption tomorrow, when quantum computers will make short work of current cryptographic algorithms. We’ll explore this “store now, decrypt later” threat and show how our post-quantum cryptography solutions protect data in transit — now and in the future.

Cybersecurity is more than a business; it is a mission and an ecosystem in permanent interaction. A crucial organism of this ecosystem is the distribution channel. The distribution channel is in the front line of all key challenges of cybersecurity: Skill Shortage, Complexity, Integration, Services, Delivery, Training. This panel will be made of top executives of Fortinet Partners that have directly contributed to make the United Arad Emirates one of the safest digital places in the world.  Learning directly from these successful leaders will be an enrichment to all attendees.

Session Overview:

Join us for an interactive session where we’ll demonstrate how a typical enterprise can seamlessly embark on its Unified SASE journey. Discover how to implement SD-WAN, FortiSASE, and ZTNA efficiently—all from a single, unified console. See how simplicity, visibility, and control come together to transform complex security and networking challenges into a streamlined experience.

Session Overview:

What are your peers thinking? 61% of IT and Security pros say security and compliance concerns remain top cloud adoption barriers. With app modernization driving cloud expansion, Security and Dev teams need unified solutions for policy enforcement, threat detection, and protection. Join us as we explore insights from the 2025 Cloud Security Report and learn how Fortinet’s comprehensive platform approach - bringing together cloud network security, app security and Cloud Native Application Protection Platform (CNAPP) - delivers code-to-cloud security.
