Fortinet at RSA Conference 2018
RSA 2018 is being held April 16-20, 2018 at the Moscone Center in San Francisco, where Fortinet is proud to once again be a Gold Sponsor.
In 2016, we unveiled our technology vision of the Fortinet Security Fabric, which marked the start of the third and the latest generation of network security. This year at Accelerate 18, our global partner and customer event, we announced more than 200 new features in FortiOS 6.0 and services designed to automate security operations and protect the digital attack surface. At RSA we will demonstrate how the Fortinet Security Fabric enables digital business and provides mid-and-large enterprise organizations with broad, integrated and automated protection from IoT to multi-cloud environments.
Fortinet Booth: #N3919
In the booth theater, Fortinet experts will showcase the broad, integrated, and automated capabilities of the Fortinet Security Fabric and the ecosystem of Fortinet partner solutions, including automation, visibility and management into IT and security workflows, The Internet of Things (IoT), multi-cloud and virtualized networks. A number of Fabric-Ready Partners will demonstrate the unique interoperability, scope, and flexibility of the Security Fabric. In addition, the Fortinet FortiGuard Labs global threat research team will show the latest in threat intelligence services and security research.
Date and Time: Demonstrations and presentations are ongoing during show hours.

Speaking Sessions
Fortinet CISO Session – Panel Discussion
Title: Protecting Enterprise Data With the National Security “100 Coins” Approach
CISOs today have a range of proactive and defensive actions they can take to protect their companies’ data and infrastructure. Phil Quade will lead panelists in a strategy exercise called “100 coins”, where participants must make critical cybersecurity choices and tradeoffs and justify the actions and their expense.
Date & Time: Tuesday, April 17, 2018 from 3:30 to 4:15 PM
Room: Moscone North 21
Moderator: Phil Quade, Fortinet CISO, and previously, the NSA Director’s Special Assistant for Cyber and Chief of the NSA Cyber Task Force
Panelists:
Colin Anderson, Global Chief Information Security Officer, Levi Strauss & Co., and vice-chairman of the Retail Cyber Intelligence Sharing Center (R-CISC) board of directors
Shannon Lietz, Director of DevSecOps at Intuit and Founder of the DevSecOps Foundation

Cyberthreat Session: Swarm Intelligence
Title: Order vs. Mad Science: Analyzing Black Hat Swarm Intelligence
White hat defense systems continue to improve on supervised learning using machine and deep learning neural networks to defend against an exploding attack surface. At the same time, zombie devices that require commands from botnet herders are becoming intelligent, capable of their own decisions as we saw with Hajime in 2017. Swarm intelligence can be used to enhance these networks. Derek Manky will talk about what we can do to defend against swarm cyberattacks.
Date and Time: Wednesday, April 18, 2018 from 8:00 - 8:45 AM
Session: HT-W02, Moscone South 308
