About this event

Join us for an interactive in-person Government-focused User Group designed to connect security professionals, share real-world insights, and dive into the technologies shaping today’s cyber defense strategies. We’ll kick off with a forward-looking threat briefing covering the latest cyber trends and AI-driven risks impacting Canadian government environments. From there, we’ll move into practical, enterprise-grade NGFW deployment strategies, Panorama management best practices, and Government of Canada–specific design considerations including high availability, segmentation, and RBAC models. The morning wraps with community updates before we shift gears into a hands-on Ultimate Test Drive, where you’ll roll up your sleeves and experience managing NGFW environments with Panorama in a live lab setting.
