Fortinet recaps its activities at Black Hat USA 2025 and DEF CON 33, highlighting packed booth demos on secure networking, SOC transformation, CNAPP, and endpoint security; Security Fabric Theater sessions on CTEM, unified endpoint, insider risk, and DLP; and partner presentations from Nutanix, Armis, Honeywell, ServiceNow, and Nozomi Networks. Featured sessions included Aamir Lakhani’s insights on threat actors’ use of generative AI (polymorphic malware, automated exploits, deepfakes) and a CISO panel with Carl Windsor on evolving board-level cyber risk. At DEF CON’s Recon Village, Muslim Koser emphasized the speed of automated reconnaissance and the need to treat recon as an active attack vector, complemented by hands-on AI training and community-focused events.
