15.00 Nir Zuk : Innovate or Die

Nir Zuk, founder and CTO of internet security start-up Palo Alto Networks, brings a wealth of network security expertise and industry experience to Palo Alto Networks. Prior to co-founding Palo Alto Networks, Nir was CTO at NetScreen Technologies, which was acquired by Juniper Networks in 2004. Prior to NetScreen, Nir was co-founder and CTO at OneSecure, a pioneer in intrusion prevention and detection appliances. Nir was also a principal engineer at Check Point Software Technologies and was one of the developers of stateful inspection technology.

Nir and Palo Alto Networks are being seen as some of the more innovative information security developers. Nir is capable of seeing new challenges and brings new ideas around the table that challenge the existing landscape in trying to improve the current environment.

Passionate about technology, Nir started already at the age of 16 writing computer viruses ...
That led him to be recruited by a special unit for the military in Israel, his country of origin, specifically looking for whiz kids like him. After serving five years, he studied Mathematics at university and was recruited by Check Point in ‘94, developing the first stateful inspection firewall.
In ‘97 Nir moved to the US, continuing his carreer with Check Point Software and later starting Palo Alto Networks.

Nir visited us late 2010, where we had a couple of controversial discussions. Today the challenge is for Nir to help convincing companies that they have to innovate also in Security, and in information security in order to face the current security challenges.

16.15 : Coffee Break

17.00 MAS Tour / MAS networking drink

As part of our innovation discovery, we welcome you to join us during a guided tour of the Antwerp MAS (Museum aan de Stroom).

Innovative for its setting, architecture, used materials, environment, set-up and many many other things, the MAS is a good example of an innovative development, where tradition, history, and creativity come together.

The MAS is an impressive building with a museum, among other things. Because it is also the visible storage, the museum square with Luc Tuymans’ mosaic, the boulevard, the rooftop panorama, etc. The MAS is a total experience.

The MAS brings together the collections from the former Etnografisch Museum, the Nationaal Scheepvaartmuseum and the Volkskundemuseum. They are given a new home in the MAS along with part of the Vleeshuis Museum collection and the Paul and Dora Janssen-Arts collection.

The collection amounts to a total of 470,000 objects and is still growing. The MAS regroups the collections in an innovative story, through four universal themes with which everyone can identify. They are spread over five floors.

+4: Display of Power. On prestige and symbols
+5: Metropolis. On here and elsewhere
+6: World port. On trade and shipping
+7: Life and death. On men and gods
+8: Life and death. On the Upper- and Underworld
