Do you have amazing stories to share about how you’re tackling cybersecurity in this rapidly changing world? Perhaps you helped your organization stand up and secure a remote workforce with Prisma Access, and in the process you learned what to do – and what not to do. Perhaps you’ve become the resident expert in using Cortex XSOAR playbooks to automate processes and reduce the workload of your security team, and your skills are even more vital now that your organization’s SOC is working virtually. Maybe you’ve already figured out how to apply the new features of PAN-OS 10.0 to secure IoT devices your organization didn’t even know existed on your network. We want to hear from you, and we’re putting out a Call for Papers for this year’s Ignite user conference. Not only are we excited to see your proposals – our attendees are hungry for practical information about getting the most out of our cybersecurity technologies.
We’re looking for highly technical perspectives based on firsthand experience with our next-gen security technologies. We’re also interested in groundbreaking new threat research or innovative best practices. Our attendees are excited to hear insights into the latest cyber threats, in-depth details on how to apply products and features to get the specific outcomes they need, and real-world examples of how our customers put our technologies to use. This is a fantastic opportunity to share your story with the community of top-tier security professionals and researchers at Ignite.
The Ignite Conference is already known for bringing together cybersecurity experts from around the world to deliver the most up-to-date, technical content from across the Palo Alto Networks platform. This year, it will look a little different, but those differences will make it easier than ever to benefit from the information being shared.
The Ignite user conference will be available in the comfort of your own home on Nov. 17-18, 2020. It will be a free-to-attend, completely virtual event, filled with the biggest experts in the industry – and you could be one of those experts.
