News Summary

Fortinet (NASDAQ: FTNT), the global cybersecurity leader driving the convergence of networking and security, today announced that Fortinet will again participate in the upcoming World Economic Forum (WEF) Annual Meeting on Cybersecurity in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, October 14-16. Fortinet was the first cybersecurity company named a founding partner of the World Economic Forum Centre for Cybersecurity and this year marks the fifth year Fortinet will participate in the annual event, which brings together global leaders from business, government, international organizations, civil society, and academia to build collaboration and enhance collective cyber resilience.

“As we look across the current threat landscape, we see trends like AI reshape the attack environment and influence response strategies. While strengthening individual defenses is crucial, public-private partnerships play a vital role in enhancing our collective cyber resilience—from building the future cyber workforce to creating initiatives designed to facilitate the sharing of threat intelligence,” said Derek Manky, Chief Security Strategist and Global Vice President of Threat Intelligence, Fortinet. “The World Economic Forum’s Annual Meeting on Cybersecurity offers a unique opportunity for global leaders to come together to develop and share effective solutions for effectively and systemically disrupting cybercrime.”

Fortinet’s Manky and CISO Dr. Carl Windsor will contribute to the important cybersecurity dialogues at this year’s Annual Meeting on Cybersecurity in several ways, including lending its cybersecurity insights and experience to the panel “Scaling Disruption: The Next Chapter in Cybercrime Collaboration”, where Manky will provide Fortinet insight into how organizations can harness private sector expertise to continue to collectively enhance the disruption of cybercrime while technology creates new opportunities for criminals to create harm at scale. In addition to Fortinet’s continued engagement at the Annual Meeting on Cybersecurity, the company is actively involved with multiple ongoing efforts led by the forum. Fortinet is a key contributor to the forum’s Partnership Against Cybercrime (PAC). The company has contributed to the development of the World Economic Forum’s Strategic Cybersecurity Talent Framework and its AI and Cyber Initiative.
