On Monday October 25th, LSEC in collaboration with Telenet C-Cure and Palo Alto Networks offer a special encounter with Nir Zuk, CTO of Palo Alto Networks.
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.
Somewhat controversial
Not afraid of being somewhat controversial, an evening with Nir Zuk promises to be quite an experience. Nir is capable of seeing new challenges and brings new ideas around the table that
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.
We have asked Nir to enlighten us about his views on the future of the internet, more specifically the challenges these bring in terms of security for companies, countries and people all together. Do current “solutions” to internet security really bring anything to the table, or are they just a patch on an every growing cancer of threats in cyber world. Is there a way beyond firewalls and antivirus and what to do against zero-day, or customized and targeted attacks.
