Registration opens.

A light lunch will be served in the expo area.

The event will be opened, setting out the agenda to follow.

Fortinet Opening, Paul Anderson, VP UKI.

Change, disruption, opportunity.  A logical sequence of events when managed properly but in cybersecurity, change and the resulting disruption is all too often unintended or unexpected.

But disruption can also be an opportunity to seek new perspectives and embrace technological change such as consolidation, convergence, automation, and of course Artificial Intelligence (AI).

This session will focus on the different aspects of disruption and how organisations can take advantage of change to move beyond their current cybersecurity profile.

Andy Ng, Guest Speaker, ex-Big4 Cyber Partner.

​​​​​​In difficult financial times, cutting back on investments in cybersecurity lends credence to the expression “Penny wise, Pound Foolish”.  Without the proper cybersecurity posture in place, any short-term savings from cancelled or delayed investments can quickly be overwhelmed by business and reputational losses because of a successful data breach.

Customer Panel Discussion.

A selection of Fortinet customers will share their experiences and insights on adapting to the new world approach to cybersecurity, reflecting the need to increase agility and resilience to manage external threats whilst being ready to support continuous business innovation.

Refreshments in the expo area.

Fortinet Expert View, Ben Wilson, SVP Product Management.

​​​​​​Technology is constantly changing but change for change’s sake alone, disconnected from the realities of the market, is a losing proposition.   The Opportunity Behind Disruption relies upon technology that can keep pace and deliver solutions that allow organizations to meet their strategic goals.  This session will provide an overview of how Fortinet evolves in response to the changes and disruption taking place in the market.

Security Operations is most often associated with what has already happened, but the transformational changes in today’s networks and an increasingly sophisticated threat landscape are disrupting the traditional Security Operations Center (SOC).  For forward looking organisations, this is the opportunity to transform their Security Operations model from a reactive to a proactive posture, integrating multiple threat detection and response technologies to benefit from automation and keep pace with the evolving threat landscape.

Bursting on the scene in 2019, Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) has forever changed the convergence of networking and security.  However, it has also been accompanied by significant disruption due to the Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt (FUD) generated by vendor claims and counter claims in a new market.  But from the confusion comes the opportunity to return to the core meaning of SASE – converging the WAN (SD-WAN) with security (SSE) for both remote users and locations.

Fortinet Expert View. David Lorti, Director, Product Marketing

Effective and efficient threat intelligence is a vital and essential component to minimise the disruption caused by a successful cyber-attack.  But the core value of threat intelligence is sometimes lost in the noise surrounding AI. Threat intelligence must have both a micro and a macro view – focused on “its” local network but with a global perspective – and with a judicious application of AI to take advantage of the opportunity to improve threat detection and response.

Short wrap up.
