About this event

Date & Time: Tuesday, March 10th 11:00 AM – 2:00 PM PST

Join your local cybersecurity peers and Palo Alto Networks experts for an afternoon of deep-dive learning and networking at the historic Lake Theater & Cafe.

This Fuel User Group meetup focuses on two critical pillars of modern security: mastering the complexity of multi-cloud environments and sharpening your incident response skills with elite insights from Unit 42. Whether you are an architect, an analyst, or a security leader, you will leave with actionable strategies to take back to your organization.

Topic 1: Exploring the New Multi-Cloud Security Fabric As organizations expand across AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud, the "air gaps" between platforms create dangerous blind spots. In this session, we will explore the new Multi-Cloud Security Fabric—a unified approach to visibility and protection.

  • Discover: How to eliminate blind spots by continuously discovering assets and workloads across all clouds.

  • Deploy: Automating security controls that move at the speed of DevOps.

  • Defend: Implementing consistent threat prevention and zero-trust policies that follow your applications, regardless of where they reside.

Topic 2: First Responders Bootcamp with Unit 42 When a breach occurs, the first hour is critical. Led by insights from Unit 42, the world-renowned threat intelligence and incident response team, this bootcamp session is designed to transform your team from reactive to ready.

  • The Threat Landscape: Real-world examples of recent attack vectors observed by Unit 42 researchers.

  • Initial Response: Best practices for the first 60 minutes of an incident—what to preserve, who to notify, and how to contain.

  • Evidence Management: Critical steps for digital forensics and maintaining chain of custody.
