The Fortinet Cybersecurity Summit 2024 in Toronto yesterday was great! If you missed it not to worry, we can do a private executive briefing overview for you and your team. Highlights from the day: - Deploying SDWAN, SASE and ZTNA in less than 10 minutes :) - CNAPP done correctly (Code, Deploy, Run), shift left early in your journey - AI Sec Ops leveraging FortiManager, FortiAnalyzer and FortiAI (Incident to resolution and business impact plus reporting and triage in under 15 minutes). Major takeaway from the day - consistency across your logs and moving away from point solutions towards a single platform to gain better insights, visibility, control and governance. Applying policies from edge to cloud and your data centre (Users, Device, Infrastructure, Apps and Data). What's next and coming into the future..... A future cybersecurity technology feature might leverage quantum cryptography for ultra-secure data transmission. Unlike traditional encryption, quantum cryptography, particularly quantum key distribution (QKD), uses the principles of quantum mechanics to create encryption keys that are virtually impossible to hack. Intercepting or attempting to measure the key alters its state, immediately alerting parties to any breach attempt. Another feature could be autonomous AI-driven threat hunting systems. These systems would use self-learning AI models to detect, predict, and mitigate evolving threats in real time, adapting to new attack methods without the need for human intervention. The AI would draw on vast datasets of cyber incidents and use predictive analytics to neutralize potential threats before they become breaches. Finally, zero-trust microsegmentation combined with AI for real-time access behavior monitoring might evolve to offer incredibly fine-grained control, even at an individual data packet level, with continuous verification and dynamic trust scoring. This would enhance enterprise security and user experience, creating a more resilient network posture against sophisticated cyber-attacks.

This is a topic that is on everyone’s minds and protecting yourself makes sense. So make sure you use a password keeper that creates, encripts and stores passwords for you. And you use MFA, yes it take a little longer but it in the long run it will be worth it and if you don’t recognize it don’t click on it regardless of how neat it is. If you have questions on how to protect your family, or your small business please reach out I am here to help. #cyberresilience #heretoehelp
