By 2025, more than 95% of new digital workloads will be on cloud-native platforms, vital for organizations' digital strategies.  While cloud platforms offer advantages like flexibility and scalability, they also introduce complexity in securing these environments.  In doing so, many organizations still struggle with blind spots, workload sprawl, insufficient security coverage and data overload.  Security teams need solutions that can address the dynamic nature of the cloud, are easy to deploy and manage, and can seamlessly integrate into their existing infrastructure and provide comprehensive visibility to manage and protect their cloud workloads.  

This session will help the audience understand how cloud-native platforms are different and the challenges in securing cloud environments.  

We will cover: 
- Some of the common, but overlooked risks that can impact their network
- Elements to consider to properly secure their cloud applications and networks
- How Fortinet simplifies cloud risk with cloud-native solutions that empower impactful security choices, proactively manage risk, and maximize security investments for greater transformation and benefits.

Modernize Cloud Security and Reduce the Complexity

In the face of continually evolving cyber threats, organizations are compelled to adopt a unified and integrated approach to network operations centers (NOC) and security operations centers (SOC).  

This session explores the need for synergy between NOC and SOC functions in response to the dynamic nature of modern cyber threats. By examining the challenges posed by siloed operations, the session sheds light on the benefits and strategic advantages of fostering collaboration and integration between NOC and SOC teams across IT and OT environments.  

Aasef will share insights into how Fortinet’s Security Fabric Platform approach enhances threat detection, incident response, compliance assurance, and overall organizational resilience while lowering the total cost of ownership for SecOps infrastructure.

The Imperative for an Integrated NOC/SOC Approach

During this keynote, Jason Dely will explore how organisations can evaluate tools to properly assess cyber risk posture and effectively prioritize the most pressing vulnerabilities to safeguard operations and productions.

- Learn about how critical infrastructures rely on ICS and OT for uninterrupted services, and the impact of these technologies on a nation's economy
- Discover the security gaps and technological flaws in critical infrastructures
- Gain knowledge on implementing comprehensive risk management strategies

Fortifying Operational Technology with SANS Institute

Industrial asset owners experience unique challenges and security considerations when securing their network perimeter, focusing on OT LAN and Edge Networks. Want to learn about threats and vulnerabilities affecting critical networks, along with mitigation strategies?

This session will explore:
- Fortinet’s Security Fabric Platform approach for integrated security management of the LAN and Edge Networks in OT
- The benefits of a unified approach for configuration, maintenance, and security operations
- LAN Edge and SASE extensions, highlighting how these enable the extension of unified security across the smallest and most remote sites.

Cybersecurity at the Edge for OT LAN and Edge Networks

Overcomplexity, budget constraints, you name it – all drive security folks to consolidate point solutions and having a more efficient, easy-to-manage, security posture. Protecting data and applications are an essential pillar of the security strategy and require a WAF, protecting APIs, and managing bot traffic. At scale, and across environments. In this session, we will present how Fortinet partners with organizations to deliver a consolidated application security fabric

When the time comes for your organization to evaluate and choose a SASE solution, having clear and concise information is crucial. But with the hype surrounding SASE, getting that information can prove to be difficult.

Join us and get answers to the critical differences between SASE offerings such as:
• Understand the difference between SSE and SASE and why it matters
• Discover the relationship between SSE, SD-WAN and SASE
• Understand how SASE fits into a larger Cybersecurity structure

SSE, SASE, Single-Vendor SASE, and now Unified SASE? Deciphering What it Means

The promise of the cloud was supposed to be easy and simple; infrastructure was someone else’s concern after all. However, that is not our reality. The digitization of business, the speed of technological advances, and the escalating number and sophistication of cyberattacks have led to IT complexity and a never-ending race to defend our enterprises. Frank will discuss the current state of complexity in the cloud, the need to secure it, and key strategies to accelerate digital transformation through better security outcomes.
