Break 10:30 - 11:00

Partner Presentation: Everyone talks about AI stopping the next zero-day. But what if your biggest security risk is hiding in your own rulebase? In this session, Linus Raes shares real-world lessons from large enterprise environments on policy sprawl, unused rules, mis configurations, and the risk of technical debt. We’ll explore why firewall hygiene is not just an operational task, but a strategic security decision and how Strata Cloud Manager leverages AI-driven insights to optimize rulebases, reduce risk, and deliver management-ready visibility.

This might sound like the most boring topic of the evening. It isn’t.

The traditional security perimeter is gone. Identity is now the front line. As AI systems become autonomous, they introduce a powerful new class of identities that access data, execute actions, and operate at machine speed. In this keynote, you will learn why Identity is and should be at the center of all cybersecurity programs, why AI agents must be secured like any other privileged identity, and the essential controls organizations need to protect the AI-driven enterprise.
