Fortinet Returns to World Economic Forum Annual Meeting on Cybersecurity
Fortinet, the global
cybersecurity leader driving the convergence of networking and security, announced
that the company will return to the World Economic Forum’s Annual Meeting on
Cybersecurity in Geneva, Switzerland, from November 11 to 13. Fortinet is a
founding member of the Forum’s Centre for Cybersecurity and will again engage
in the yearly event, which brings together global leaders from business,
government, international organizations, civil society, and academia to foster
collaboration and enhance collective cyber resilience.
Derek Manky, Fortinet Chief
Security Strategist and VP of Global Threat Intelligence, will share expertise
and insights as the moderator of a panel discussion on November 13 about
countering cybercrime through public-private partnerships. In addition to his
active role in the Forum and its Centre for Cybersecurity’s Partnership Against
Cybercrime and the Cybercrime Atlas initiative, Derek is actively involved with
global threat intelligence initiatives, including NATO NICP, INTERPOL Expert
Working Group, the Cyber Threat Alliance working committee, and FIRST, all in
effort to shape the future of actionable threat intelligence and proactive
security strategy.
In the past year, as a leading
contributor to the Cybercrime Atlas initiative, Fortinet has collaborated to
promote new approaches to accelerate the fight against cybercrime. Significant
progress has been made, with the Cybercrime Atlas community vetting more than
10,000 actionable data points, creating seven intelligence packages to support
cyber defenders, and supporting two cross-border disruption campaigns through
the group’s research and intelligence.
“ In today’s interconnected
world, the fight against cybercrime requires a unified front. Public-private
partnerships are vital for sharing threat intelligence, resources, and
innovations that collectively help organizations worldwide stay ahead of
digital adversaries. The World Economic Forum’s Annual Meeting on Cybersecurity
continues to offer a unique opportunity for collaboration where fellow
cybersecurity leaders share effective strategies and develop real-world
solutions for disrupting cybercrime,” said, Derek Manky, Chief Security Strategist and VP
of Global Threat Intelligence at Fortinet
