About this event

Join us for the next Brisbane Fuel User Group as we run through the key updates from our latest NetSec platform announcements.

We’ll be unpacking the new PAN-OS 12.2 Ceres release and the Gen5 hardware rollout, looking at how the platform is shifting to catch automated threats earlier in the cycle.

More importantly, this session is about practical takeaways. We'll be looking at how to get the absolute most out of the gear and licenses you already own, and we'll walk through some of the newest features. 🛠️

What we'll be covering on the day:

  • ⚙️Gen5 & PAN-OS 12.2 Overview: A technical breakdown of the new hardware and core platform updates.

  • 💻Live Demos – Jumping on the tools: we'll run some of the new functionality including:

    • 🤖 AI Agents: How to use the new security agents to automate complex workflows and handle the heavy lifting.

    • 🛑Advanced IP Defence: A look at how to proactively block attacker infrastructure.

    • 🩹Frontier Virtual Patching: How to automatically neutralise software vulnerabilities to buy your team time before official patches are deployed.

  • Other Key Innovations: We'll also cover more on securing critical infrastructure (OT), and extending security out to the user with Prisma Browser updates.

Come along, grab a drink, and catch up with other admins and architects.
