Fortinet Strengthens Global Cybersecurity at the World Economic Forum

Here is the translation of the text into American English:

Fortinet, a global leader in cybersecurity and network convergence, has announced its participation in the Annual Cybersecurity Meeting of the World Economic Forum, set to take place in Geneva, Switzerland, from November 11 to 13. Fortinet, a founding member of the Forum’s Center for Cybersecurity, is joining this event alongside cybersecurity leaders from various sectors, aiming to promote collaboration and strengthen global resilience against cybercrime.

Derek Manky, Chief Security Strategist and Vice President of Global Threat Intelligence at Fortinet, will serve as a moderator in a panel discussion on November 13, where strategies for countering cybercrime through public-private partnerships will be debated. With a distinguished background in threat intelligence and global collaborations, Manky brings his expertise to initiatives like the Forum’s Partnership Against Cybercrime and the Cybercrime Atlas, which brings together the cybersecurity community to develop solutions against cybercrime.

Addressing Cybercrime Through Collaboration

Over the past year, Fortinet has been intensively working on the Cybercrime Atlas, promoting new approaches in the fight against cybercrime. The Atlas community has assessed over 10,000 data points, generated intelligence packages for cybersecurity defenders, and executed campaigns to disrupt criminal networks. According to Manky, “The fight against cybercrime requires large-scale collaboration between the public and private sectors to anticipate digital adversaries. The World Economic Forum provides a unique opportunity to develop effective strategies and real solutions in this battle.”

Featured Session at the Annual Meeting

The session “Better, Faster, Stronger: Accelerating Operational Collaborations to Disrupt Cybercrime”, scheduled for November 13 at 10:30 AM (CET), will address how to leverage successful collaborations to dismantle cybercrime networks. Manky will moderate this discussion, which will include top experts such as Edvardas Šileris, Head of the European Cybercrime Center at Europol, and Brigadier General Oleksandr Potii from Ukraine’s Communications Protection Agency.

Threats in an Ever-Evolving Digital World

The World Economic Forum’s annual cybersecurity meeting comes at a time when cyber threats are evolving and demanding a coordinated response. According to the Forum’s Global Cybersecurity Outlook 2024 report, minimum cybersecurity resilience has decreased by 30% among organizations, widening the technology gap and exposing more vulnerable entities to greater risks.

Fortinet, through FortiGuard Labs and its extensive training program, is tirelessly working to close this gap by developing artificial intelligence and machine learning-based technologies that enable its clients to effectively anticipate and defend against cybersecurity threats.

Fortinet’s Commitment to Global Cybersecurity

With an integrated portfolio of over 50 enterprise-grade products, Fortinet has established itself as a leading company in cybersecurity solutions, trusted by more than 500,000 customers worldwide. Additionally, Fortinet’s Training Institute has become a benchmark for cybersecurity training, providing career opportunities in the sector.

Fortinet’s participation in the Annual Cybersecurity Meeting of the World Economic Forum underscores its commitment to fostering global collaboration in the fight against cybercrime and protecting the benefits of technology for all.
