Dispatch from Zenith Live Berlin

On the heels of a successful @Zscaler #ZenithLive user conference in Las Vegas last month, we continued our momentum with Zenith Live Berlin. The conference brought together an exceptional lineup of customers, partners and members of the media to learn about the latest cybersecurity trends and Zscaler’s newest Zero Trust and AI-powered innovations.

One of the most valuable aspects of attending Zenith Live is the cross-pollination of knowledge and experience that happens during the event. From the keynotes, to the breakout sessions to impromptu discussions that organically transpire between attendees, I believe that we all benefit when we share ideas and learn from one another. I am thankful to the leaders and experts who graciously shared their experiences with us, including @Andreas Strodl , Head of Cyber Security Services & Products at @Raiffeisen Bank ; @René Rindermann , CISO of @E.ON ; Simon Legg , CISO of @Hastings Direct ; @Wolfgang Schubert , VP of IT Infrastructure & @Dusan Vignjevic , Head of Threat Intelligence at @Siemens Energy ; @Imran Ali , Group Chief Information Security & Technology Officer of @Compass Group ; @Màrius Torres Legaspi , Director of Cybersecurity International at @Graphic Packaging International ; and @Jochen Klein , CISO & @Tim Cottin , VP Platform - Group IT of @CompuGroup Medical .?

As we engaged in discussions and breakout sessions, we explored a range of cybersecurity topics. Defending against the advancing threat of ransomware and other novel cyberthreats emerged as a key focal point. Attendees had the opportunity to immerse themselves in conversations that spanned from harnessing the power of AI and machine learning to predict, prevent, and remediate cyberattacks to the vital role of managing cultural change alongside technological advancements during their secure digital transformation journeys.

In addition, we unveiled the latest findings from our remarkable 2023 #ThreatLabz Ransomware Report, which highlighted a staggering 40% surge in global ransomware attacks. This alarming trend further underscores the urgency and criticality of our mission to protect organizations against these malicious exploits.

This year’s events were the biggest and best yet and the feedback has been overwhelmingly positive. I think @Nandkishor Tangadi sums it up best in his post when he says:

“Zenith Live 2023 was an immersive experience into the future of security. As an avid technology enthusiast and cybersecurity professional, attending this event was an opportunity. In the days leading up to Zscaler Zenith Live, I was filled with excitement and anticipation.”

Thank you, Nandkishor, for your enthusiasm, a huge thank you to those of you who joined us in person or virtually, and a hearty congratulations to the Zscaler team on a job well done.
