What Happens When SASE Meets Artificial Intelligence

This October when many are "gettin' scary" to celebrate Halloween, Fortinet is inviting the tech community to not be frightened and get SASE.

In today's rapidly evolving digital landscape, CISOs and CIOs face unprecedented challenges in securing their networks, data, and operations for hybrid work. Organizations are turning to SASE because it simplifies network security, improves performance, and is better suited for the cloud-based world. And that's why Fortinet is hosting a virtual event, the Unified SASE Summit, on Thursday, October 10. Summit attendees will get a unique opportunity for an exclusive look at the future of SASE solutions.

With the steady increase in the adoption of hybrid work models, the integration and convergence of cybersecurity and networking are becoming essential for safeguarding organizations. Hybrid networks that comprise both on-premises and cloud-based resources require unified, flexible, and intelligent security solutions that traditional security architectures cannot provide. Enter Unified SASE.

Join us at the SASE Summit and you'll learn how unified SASE with AI is reshaping hybrid workforce security. This event will provide you with deep insights and give you the knowledge you need to build a resilient, modern, and AI-driven cybersecurity strategy.

What's On the Agenda

Neil MacDonald, VP and distinguished analyst at Gartner, will present on SASE trends and how they are reshaping the industry, including single-vendor SASE, the need to secure the edge, key adjacent SASE use cases and deployments, and the role of AI in security.

In addition to hearing from industry leaders and Fortinet experts, the summit will feature sessions led by both Fortinet customers and Fortinet strategic partners. Customers who are using SASE today will discuss their vision of SASE and the market and their real-world experiences with Fortinet solutions to provide you with an unvarnished view of their results.

Google Cloud, a Fortinet strategic partner, will discuss how it is delivering unrivaled security and scalability with the Fortinet AI-powered Unified SASE. This session follows a deep dive with Fortinet product managers, who will discuss the power of our Unified SASE, unveil our future vision for SASE, and demonstrate Unified SASE capabilities and the latest innovations.
