Agenda
The agenda is subject to change and speakers will be announced closer to the event.
Customer conversations have shifted from basic cloud migration to securing autonomous AI agents and preparing for quantum-era threats.
What You'll Learn
- Securing the AI Lifecycle with Prisma AIRS: Master both protection modes—Network Intercept (inline cloud firewall) and API Intercept (Security-as-Code). Live demonstrations showcase how to prevent prompt injections, stop agent identity impersonation, safeguard LLM data pipelines, and enforce posture management across the entire AI ecosystem.
- Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) Readiness: Address "harvest-now, decrypt-later" concerns with practical migration strategies. Learn how to audit customer crypto-agility, map out post-quantum readiness, and deploy quantum-resistant architecture that protects high-value assets today.
- CDSS Innovations & Consolidation Playbooks: Dive deep into the latest Cloud-Delivered Security Services updates including Advanced IP Defence.
Explore the future of autonomous SASE operations under Strata Cloud Manager. Learn how Precision AI™ and Strata Copilot AIOps eliminate policy sprawl, automate lifecycle management, and unify network and security ops into a single-vendor platform.
Core Technical Deep-Dives
- ZTNA 2.0 via Prisma Access: Architecting least-privilege access across web, non-web, and SaaS applications with continuous posture re-verification and inline threat inspection.
- SWG & Explicit Proxy Replacement: Blueprints for migrating off legacy web proxies, including explicit proxy-to-ZTNA connectors, PAC file migration, and low-latency SSL/TLS decryption.
- BYOD & Enterprise DLP with Prisma Browser: Enforcing context-aware DLP (blocking copy/paste, file exfiltration, and risky GenAI prompts) natively inside the browser to replace VDI/RBI.
- SD-WAN Network Transformation: L7 application-based traffic steering, dynamic path selection, and native, zero-touch branch integration into Prisma Access cloud edges.
With identity rapidly becoming the primary attack vector for modern adversaries, securing the identity perimeter is more critical than ever. Led by Identity Security experts, this session serves as your comprehensive introduction to Idira, Palo Alto Networks' next-generation Identity Security Platform. Partner Engineers will learn how Idira extends modern privilege controls to every identity in the enterprise, securing access without slowing down the business.
What We Will Cover (Session Highlights):
- Securing Every Persona: Learn how Idira provides a unified control plane to discover, control, and govern all identity types across the modern enterprise. This includes human workforces, machine identities (from secrets to workloads), and the fast-growing wave of autonomous, agentic AI identities.
- Zero Standing Privileges (ZSP): Discover how Idira redefines modern Privileged Access Management (PAM) by eliminating persistent access. We will explore how enforcing Zero Standing Privileges (ZSP) and Just-In-Time (JIT) access dynamically grants permissions only while work is actively being performed, drastically reducing the access attackers can inherit.
- The Idira Architecture: A high-level breakdown of the platform's core components and how it secures identities across complex, hybrid environments to disrupt identity-driven attack lifecycles at machine speed.
- Real-World Use Cases: Walk through practical scenarios showing how customers are using Idira to solve their toughest identity and access management challenges.
- Technical Q&A: An open forum with our SEs to dive into the technical details and answer your specific deployment questions.
The security landscape is changing faster than ever. Discover how Cortex is leading the transformation of security operations across the SOC, endpoint and cloud, bringing AI, automation and agentic capabilities together to help customers build a smarter, more effective security operation.
Get an inside look at Palo Alto Networks’ vision and the latest Cortex innovations. See them come to life through live demos and real-world use cases and discover what’s coming next.
