إيمان شعبانالثلاثاء 4 نوفمبر 2025

Fortinet, the global cybersecurity leader driving the convergence of networking and security, is proud to announce its participation as a Security Sponsor at Cairo ICT 2025, taking place from November 16 to 19 at the Egypt International Exhibition Center. This year, Fortinet’s presence will be strengthened by the participation of Derek Manky, Chief Security Strategist & Global VP of Threat Intelligence, who will join the event to share global insights on the evolving threat landscape and the role of AI in modern cyber defense. As the premier technology event in the Middle East and Africa, Cairo ICT continues to be a vital platform for showcasing transformative technologies and engaging with regional cybersecurity leaders.
This year, Fortinet will spotlight its AI-powered cybersecurity solutions, emphasizing how intelligent automation is transforming threat detection and response. The showcase will feature innovations across Secure Access Service Edge (SASE), Operational Technology (OT) security, and secure networking—all designed to help organizations protect distributed environments with speed and precision. A key highlight will be Fortinet’s hands-on SecOps experience, where attendees can engage in a live Red Team vs. Blue Team simulation. This interactive activation will demonstrate real-world attack scenarios and defensive strategies, offering a practical look at how AI and human expertise converge to stop threats in their tracks.
As cybercriminals increasingly weaponize AI to scale attacks, Fortinet is leading the charge in developing intelligent defenses. Derek Manky, Chief Security Strategist & Global VP of Threat Intelligence at Fortinet, emphasized the urgency of this shift:
“AI lowers the barriers of entry for cybercriminals and the dark web expands yearly with Cybercrime as a Service (CaaS) becoming a big problem. Organizations are becoming overwhelmed not only with the volume, but also with sophistication of attacks while at the same time struggling with a severe cybersecurity skills shortage. To address these deep-seated challenges, organizations need to start consolidating their security operations across IT and OT environments and move away from bolt-on security tools added over the years from various vendors. Taking a centralized platform approach integrated with threat intelligence will improve security, simplify management and make cybersecurity budgets go further.” — Derek Manky, Fortinet
Khaled Fawzy, Senior Country Manager for Egypt, Libya & Sudan, reaffirmed Fortinet’s dedication to supporting Egypt’s digital transformation and critical infrastructure protection:
“Our participation at Cairo ICT 2025 reflects our ongoing engagement to empowering organizations across Egypt and the region with advanced, AI-driven security solutions. As threats grow more sophisticated, we’re helping customers build cyber resilience through Zero Trust architectures, predictive threat intelligence, and secure networking. Cairo ICT is a strategic opportunity to engage with our partners and showcase how Fortinet is shaping the future of cybersecurity.”— Khaled Fawzy, Fortinet
Visitors to Fortinet’s booth will explore the Fortinet Security Fabric, an integrated platform that delivers end-to-end visibility and control across IT and OT environments. The live Red Team vs. Blue Team activation will simulate real-world attack scenarios, offering attendees a chance to test their incident response skills.

Fortinet experts will also participate in panel discussions, sharing insights on emerging threats, AI in cyber defense, and strategies for securing hybrid environments.
