Frontier models are changing cybersecurity, whether we are ready or not. They give attackers new ways to find weaknesses, build exploits and move faster once they are inside. In the opening keynote of NetSec on Tour, Exclusive Networks and Ignition will demonstrate what these models are capable of and why security teams must use the same technology to fight back.

Enterprise security is entering a new era, driven by three major forces: AI-powered threats, surging network traffic, and a fundamental cryptographic reset. Frontier AI is accelerating attacks, generating evasive threats at machine speed and shrinking response windows. At the same time, AI workloads are driving massive growth in inter-datacenter traffic, increasing the volume of data security teams must inspect. Meanwhile, shorter certificate lifecycles, widespread trust disruptions, and emerging quantum computing risks are challenging traditional cryptography. PAN-OS 12.2 Ceres addresses these challenges with more than 55 innovations, including three flagship capabilities designed to strengthen resilience and empower defenders.

Attackers move at machine speed. Most security teams are still moving at human speed. That gap is where breaches happen—and where your opportunity as a partner begins. In this session, we’ll show you how to close that that gap. AI agents that detect, triage, and respond to threats in seconds—not shifts. No waiting for an analyst to pick up the alert. No manual handoffs slowing down containment. Just autonomous security that works at the speed the threat demands. Zero delay. Zero drift. Shift Zero.

Attackers often exploit predictable pathways to move laterally across enterprise environments. Analysis of 54 trillion activities across 312 environments highlights the exposures that most often turn a single compromised identity or endpoint into a wider security incident. Common risks include broad internal admin protocol exposure, excessive internal reachability, and overprivileged service accounts. This session explores how organizations can systematically reduce these attack paths using automated, identity-driven microsegmentation. Attendees will learn which lateral movement exposures are most prevalent, how AI-driven threats are changing attacker behavior, which remediation priorities deliver the greatest impact, and how to operationalize segmentation without disrupting business operations.
