This week, Fortinet’s Chief Security Strategist & Global VP of Threat Intelligence, Derek Manky took part in the defence and sovereign systems showcase at B.C. Business House during FIFA World Cup 2026, bringing leaders across the industry to showcase Canada’s defence ecosystem. Five years ago, cybersecurity was treated as an IT cost centre. Today, it is a strategic priority rather than a back-office function. At Fortinet, we’ve spent 25 years investing in cybersecurity talent and capability in Canada, and we’re committed to helping strengthen Canada’s position as a trusted leader in defence. Thank you to everyone involved for helping to convene such an important discussion.
