Cybersecurity takes center stage

Attackers employ a variety of threats with the goal of deliberately infiltrating, disrupting, exposing, damaging or stealing from their intended targets. These cyberattacks come in many forms, understanding the various types of cyberthreats and how to properly defend against them is imperative for enabling secure and successful business growth.

We are excited to invite you to our inaugural Threat Management MicroSummit at the Palo Alto Networks flagship London office - Europe’s highest office space - for an afternoon of technical insights.

This event is ideal for security practitioners looking to enhance their understanding of cyberthreat management across network, endpoint, and cloud environments.

Learn to integrate people, processes, and tooling to more effectively identify, protect, detect, and respond to threats.

Unit 42, our threat intelligence and consultancy arm, will demonstrate how network, endpoint, and cloud data inform effective threat response and recovery.

Registrations for our next Practitioner MicroSummit in 2026 will open shortly, in the meantime, you are invited to register for Ignite on Tour London taking place at Old Billingsgate on 5th February. Ignite on Tour will include deep technical insights and hands-on learning where you can discover how AI-powered cybersecurity platforms can be your security team’s most indispensable asset.

Why attend Ignite on Tour?

Simplifying Security Through Consolidation

Shailesh Rao, President, Cortex

With an average of 75 security products utilized by organizations, no wonder Gartner has cited consolidation as a top cybersecurity trend. Having multiple security products translates to higher costs, operational complexity, and intraorganizational friction. CISOs today must strive to maximize value with ubiquitous and powerful security that is centralized and simple to use. Join this session to learn about how a consolidated platform approach can supercharge your risk posture and prepare your organization for transformation.

Workshops

Elective 1

Advanced Threat Detection and Response - a hands-on workshop where we'll explore how deep learning is revolutionising Threat Prevention capabilities

Elective 2

The Future SOC - Making Tomorrow’s Model Work Today: SOCs are under immense pressure to modernise, but changing operating models can feel overwhelming. This session explores how we can help customers reimagine their SOC for the future—automating away manual workloads, breaking down silos, and driving measurable outcomes. Through practical demonstrations and real-world scenarios, we’ll show what a future-ready SOC looks like in action and make the path to transformation feel both tangible and achievable.

Elective 3

Discover, assess and protect your entire AI ecosystem - see your entire AI ecosystem. All AI apps, agents, models and datasets. Protect your LLM-powered AI apps, models and data against runtime threats such as prompt injection, malicious code, toxic content, sensitive data leak, resource overload, hallucination and more.

Elective 4

Think you know what you’d do next? - An interactive discussion based game to walk through and discuss some of the key considerations during a serious cyber attack, understand the pros and cons of the various options available.
