9:00 a.m. - 9:45 a.m.  Opening Keynote: Breakthroughs at Palo Alto Networks
Palo Alto Networks

One of the benefits of Fuel membership is early access to the latest developments from Palo Alto Networks. This session will discuss product updates and releases, including new features in PAN-OS, Prisma, Cortex, as well as an update on how recent acquisitions like TwistLock are extending public cloud security capabilities. This information will help you expand prevention capabilities through enhanced analysis, automation and operational efficiencies. We'll cover topics including achieving compliance, improving threat detection and response, and addressing mobile security considerations, then leave time for audience Q&A.

Breakout 1: Optimizing the Firewall Ruleset
Firemon

From the low hanging fruit of redundant rules to in-depth traffic summaries, we will discuss why an optimized ruleset is important and the five steps you can take to keep your organization's firewalls running efficiently and securely.

Breakout 2: Protect Your Keys or Don’t Waste Your Time Encrypting Your Data
nCipher

For over 2000 years, governments, armies, businesses and lovers have been encrypting messages. For the same amount of time, the keys used to perform the encryption have been the weakest link in the chain. After 2000 years, technology has advanced such that the keys can be protected but many companies don’t understand how important it really is. Mr. Beutlich will explain in an entertaining (and sometimes graphic) fashion why protecting the encryption key is more important than the encryption itself. 

10:40 a.m. - 10:50 a.m.  Break

10:50 a.m. - 11:35 a.m.  Breakout Sessions

Breakout 1: Automate Everything: The Future of Security Automation
Indeni

As the set of products needed to manage an organization's security becomes more and more diverse, a bigger skills gap continues to open. Teams can't hire or train fast enough to manage threats at a human speed anymore, which makes automation a critical consideration. In this session, we'll dig into the details of what you can do with your current resources to see your organization clearly, report more accurately, and react faster with less manual work.

Topics covered include:

• Validating your visibility and proactive health checks
• Identifying high-impact automation changes
• Leveraging your existing tools within the firewall and cloud platforms
• Making notifications actionable

Breakout 2: Zingbox and Palo Alto Networks – the Next Step in IoT Security

Breakout 2: A Threat Hunters Toolkit 
Palo Alto Networks

While many organizations focus on developing a solid defensive cybersecurity plan and then hope the walls hold, this strategy is inevitably going to fail. It's just as important to be proactive in your approach to threat management.
