AI is collapsing the time between reconnaissance and impact. At the 2026 Security Operations Summit, Derek Manky, Chief Security Strategist and Global VP of Threat Intelligence at FortiGuard Labs, breaks down how attackers are weaponizing AI and automation, and what it means for how SOC teams detect, investigate, and respond. 🎤 The New Speed of Risk: What AI-Powered Attacks Changes for Security Operations 🗓️ November 4, 2026 | 9AM PST 🔗 Register today: ow.ly/HJM050ZZaRU

The @NSAGov has released new guidance for hardening Department of War (DoW) operational technology (OT) with zero-trust principles. The document prioritizes 26 activities for securing legacy OT, with a broader DoW framework of 105 activities behind them. Why this matters for defense and public sector leaders: ➡️ OT systems support mission readiness ➡️ Legacy controllers cannot run modern security agents ➡️ NSA starts with segmentation, remote access, and visibility 🔗 Read more: ow.ly/Sg0850ZZ7It

AI in the SOC. 5G at the edge. Rugged hardware on the plant floor. ⚙️ One OT Security strategy has to connect all three. 🔄 #Fortinet’s Richard Springer explores how our AI-Enabled OT Security Platform brings AI-driven protection and rugged connectivity together to secure industrial operations from core to edge. 🔗 Read more: ow.ly/lGM350ZYCGj #OTSecurity

Security architecture has a new coordinate: jurisdiction. 📍 DATA → Where is it processed? POLICY → Where is it enforced? JURISDICTION → Which rules apply? Those questions are becoming part of the architecture itself. A sovereign SASE approach puts jurisdiction at the center of security design, helping organizations navigate evolving sovereignty requirements without losing sight of protection or operational needs. 🔗 Explore the approach: ow.ly/jpgN50ZV1Bg

One OS. One certified security foundation across IT and OT. 🔐 #Fortinet has achieved IEC 62443 certification across the #FortiOS product family, spanning FortiGate, FortiGate Rugged, FortiWiFi, and FortiGate VM across three release lines. For OT and critical infrastructure teams, that means more consistent security and simpler compliance across diverse environments. 🔗 Learn more: ow.ly/rRWZ50ZYcV3

📰 NEWSROOM REQUIREMENTS: ✔️ Publish from anywhere ✔️ Keep access secure and reliable ✔️ Protect the story and the data FUNKE Mediengruppe uses #Fortinet Unified SASE to securely connect journalists and employees across multiple countries and nearly 100 remote sites, replacing legacy VPN access with simpler, more reliable connectivity and centralized management. 🔗 Read the full story: ow.ly/5uZN50ZVEsW

AI risk awareness is starting to turn into action. One finding from the @WEF Global Cybersecurity Outlook 2026 is worth revisiting: the share of organizations assessing the security of AI tools jumped from 37% to 64% year over year. 📈 Learn why that shift matters as organizations work to keep pace with the security implications of AI adoption. ow.ly/I1b750ZXORX

How do you prepare for risks that extend beyond #cybersecurity itself? In this short recap, Robert May explores three priorities reshaping the conversation: cyber resilience, data sovereignty, and #AI risk. Discover why these topics matter now and how organizations can strengthen security while building greater business resilience.

Security awareness is more than training completion. It’s about changing behavior and reducing risk. 📊 Our 2025 research shows that 67% of organizations report fewer intrusions, incidents, or breaches after implementing security awareness training. Yet many leaders still see gaps in employee awareness. The opportunity? 💭 ✔️ Measure what matters ✔️ Reinforce secure behaviors ✔️ Build a workforce ready to adapt as threats evolve Learn what measurable workforce readiness looks like: ow.ly/qcbn50ZXkz2

Cybercrime rarely operates alone. It’s one piece of a larger puzzle that includes financial crime, trafficking, and corruption. This month in Panama City, the people working to solve that puzzle come together. 🧩 At the @CSIWorld 2026 Global Summit, themed “Cooperation Against Converging Crime,” @FortiGuardLabs' Derek Manky will join leaders from law enforcement, government, industry, and civil society to share how cybersecurity expertise strengthens the broader response to interconnected crime. Through our Cybercrime Bounty program with CSI and our work with the Cybercrime Atlas, #Fortinet helps connect threat intelligence, community reporting, and investigative expertise. That turns isolated signals into coordinated action and makes criminal networks harder to sustain. 🔒 🔗 ow.ly/Ojx950ZXbnz

📣 @IBMcloud and #Fortinet are cutting the path from weeks of manual setup to minutes with FortiGate VM NGFW on IBM Cloud VPC. That means regulated industries can get: 🔹 Next-generation firewall protection 🔹 Intent-based segmentation + secure VPN access 🔹 Centralized cloud visibility 🔹 Usage-based licensing Built for financial services, healthcare, manufacturing, and retail, with architectures aligned to requirements like SOC 2, PCI DSS, HIPAA, and FedRAMP. 🔗 Learn more: ow.ly/7vWC50ZVZZQ

With $50B in Rural Health Transformation funding moving into action, #Fortinet’s Jim Richberg looks at what states can do to increase the value of these investments. Telehealth. AI. Connected care. Cyber resilience. The last one can’t be an afterthought. 🏥 🔐 🔗 See how states can build resilience into rural health investments: ow.ly/YOeS50ZVA1B

AI adoption introduces new apps, agents, identities, APIs, and data flows, all of which need to be secured without adding more complexity. AI & SASE For Dummies shows how Unified SASE can help bring visibility, control, and protection across that expanding environment. More AI. Less security sprawl. 🔗 Explore the eBook: ow.ly/awfw50ZQOli

CISA’s new guidance on cyber decoys gives defenders a practical framework for turning that signal into action, from honeypots and honeytokens to breadcrumbs and tripwires. #Fortinet’s Chris Borales breaks down what that looks like in practice and how FortiDeceptor extends deception across IT, OT, IoT, and cloud environments to help teams detect suspicious activity, disrupt attacks, and learn from adversary behavior. 🔗 See how to put cyber deception to work: ow.ly/EhoX50ZVab4
