About this keynote

Following on from my previous keynote with Fortinet, the world leader in cyber security solutions, I have to say thanks again to the fantastic team for asking me back to be their opening keynote at this years customer summit held in Prague, where their top clients from across Europe and the Middle East came together to learn about the latest trends and techniques in cyber defense.

Having looked at emergent cyber threats in my previous keynote with Fortinet, in front of their global System Integrator (SI) community, this was a distinctly different session where we zeroed in exclusively on AI’s role as a technology multiplier in cyber defense. And I strayed way beyond the traditional well trodden insights to explore what’s beyond the current state of the art.

During this special keynote I showed the audience how in time AI will help democratise the development of powerful cyber defense platforms whose capabilities are far superior to anything that we produce today, and which in time, when combined with new software schemas and powerful new computing platforms such as Quantum computing, could help us create adaptive impenetrable systems. Then next, I discussed a revolutionary new concept, the development of adaptive and autonomous multi-sensory Agentic AI defense systems that hear malware and see, quite literally see, threats with unparalleled levels of accuracy before autonomously analysing them and dealing with them.

Then, having run through a myriad of other state of the art concepts I rounded out the session and showed the audience how breakthroughs in the healthcare sector could soon help cyber defenders develop tools that predict future Polymorphic Malware signatures, and predict and defeat attacks before they even take place.
