Speakers

8:45am-9:15am

The rapid shift toward remote work and cloud adoption has exposed the limitations of traditional security models. Legacy approaches struggle to protect a distributed workforce that relies on cloud applications from various locations and devices. This often leads to security gaps, inconsistent policies, and increased vulnerability to cyber threats. That’s where Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) comes in. Register now and discover why modern organizations need SASE to stay secure, agile, and competitive. You'll learn:

  • Why traditional security models are failing
  • What SASE is and how it solves today’s biggest IT challenges
  • The business impact of adopting SASE

9:45am-10:15am

As organizations accelerate cloud adoption and support a remote workforce, the need for a more integrated security and networking approach has never been greater. While Secure SD-WAN enhances network performance and security for on-premises users, organizations need to provide consistent networking and security for its remote and hybrid workforce. Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) builds on SD-WAN by combining networking and security into a cloud-delivered model that reduces complexity and strengthens protection. Register now and learn more about:

  • How SD-WAN transforms and secures modern networks?
  • Why SD-WAN is a fundamental building block for implementing a SASE framework
  • How SD-WAN enhances user experience in a SASE framework
  • How SD-WAN extends SASE beyond the cloud

The demo will showcase the key features and use cases of FortiSASE, focusing on how it secures a distributed workforce through a cloud-delivered security model. This model combines comprehensive, AI-driven protection that is both scalable and cost-effective. Key use cases will include securing internet access, private access, and SaaS applications. We will demonstrate how FortiSASE tracks a real end user’s activity and applies access restrictions through its console. The demo will highlight the simplicity and efficiency of FortiSASE’s unified agent (FortiClient) and its centralized management console, emphasizing its intuitive user interface, robust reporting capabilities, and troubleshooting tools. Additionally, we'll explore how seamlessly FortiSASE integrates with an existing Fortinet SD-WAN environment, allowing for easy expansion of your deployment.
