CNAPP: Secure Gen AI and Cloud Innovation Without Slowing the Business

5:30pm – 8:00pm CT | Dallas, TX

Event Overview

AI and Zero Trust – these are two of the top strategic priorities for global security leaders, as they seek to enable secure and even accelerate cloud innovation. AI is the stage and Zero Trust is the safety net, allowing security to be rightfully perceived as a business enabler – not a blocker.

But how can security leaders gain the visibility they need across cloud assets, and then secure AI pipelines, data access and deployment? How can they protect new cloud-native architectures and implement Zero Trust across hybrid and multicloud environments? Each of these roads leads to a Cloud Native Application Protection Platform.

This roundtable discussion brings together top security leaders to discuss CNAPP as a differentiator in securing Gen AI and cloud innovation. Join Fortinet and your security peers to discuss:

  • How does one measure AI and cloud security – and where is your enterprise in the journey?
  • How are you accelerating innovation while staying on stop of security and compliance?
  • Why do you think you need CNAPP – and how will you best leverage it?
