Fortinet to Bring Cyber Leadership to World Economic Forum Annual Meeting 2026
Fortinet, the global cybersecurity leader driving the
convergence of networking and security, announced its return to the World
Economic Forum Annual Meeting in Davos-Klosters, Switzerland, from January
19–23, 2026. Fortinet is a founding member of the forum’s Centre for
Cybersecurity and a member of the Centre’s board. Each year, the forum’s Annual
Meeting welcomes governments, major international organizations, the forum’s
partner companies, civil society leaders, young changemakers, and social
entrepreneurs to discuss and identify solutions regarding critical global and
regional challenges.
As part of the forum’s Annual Meeting accredited program,
Derek Manky, Chief Security Strategist and Global Vice President of Threat
Intelligence at Fortinet, will present on the importance of incentivizing
intelligence sharing and incorporating approaches that methodically instill
incentivization, accountability, and deterrence to combat the growing
cybercrime ecosystem. In this panel on
January 20, Manky will be joined by Edvardas Šileris, Head of the European Cybercrime
Centre (EC3); Michael Daniel, President and CEO of the Cyber Threat Alliance;
and Hayley van Loon, CEO of Crime Stoppers International. Together, they will
discuss how initiatives such as the Cybercrime Bounty program, launched
recently by Fortinet and Crime Stoppers International, are key to disrupting
the ever-growing cybercrime market.
The Cybercrime Bounty program is among the newest
international initiatives in which Fortinet contributes. In addition, the
company retains early leadership roles in the forum, its Centre for Cybersecurity’s
Partnership Against Cybercrime, and its Cybercrime Atlas initiative. It also
has long-standing relationships with various global threat intelligence
initiatives, including NATO NICP, INTERPOL Expert Working Group, the Cyber
Threat Alliance, and the Forum of Incident Response and Security Teams (FIRST),
all to cultivate relationships across industries and borders to operationalize
and coordinate cybercrime disruption at scale.
" The battle to disrupt a growing and extremely
profitable cybercrime ecosystem persists. Building alliances continues to be
one of the most effective actions that public and private sector organizations
can take to foster trust, share intelligence, and collectively disrupt
cybercrime. The World Economic Forum’s Annual Meeting in Davos provides an
opportunity to continue leading this dialogue with key stakeholders from
government, business, and civil society to meet this challenge with bold,
collaborative efforts to advance approaches that systemically drive
accountability and deterrence required to disrupt cybercrime at a global
scale," said, Derek Manky, Chief
Security Strategist and Global Vice President of Threat Intelligence at
Fortinet
