Overview of Verona Summit 2026
On February 26, 2026, the leading Japanese cybersecurity provider, 網屋, will host the online event "Verona Summit 2026", focusing on indisputable modern threats against network security and mitigation strategies.
Event Context and Objectives
The increase in ransomware incidents has raised alarming concerns, extending beyond mere data leaks to directly jeopardizing key business systems and production lines. Cyber attackers continuously search for vulnerable network architectures that allow for low-cost intrusions, rapid corporate takeovers, and extended recovery challenges. Many organizations fall prey to the false sense of security that comes from implementing VPNs or UTM systems, meanwhile neglecting the inherent vulnerabilities presented by VPN weaknesses, flat internal LANs, and backup systems existing on the same network.
The summit aims to dissect the common vulnerabilities that attackers exploit through real-world infection pathways and deliver recommendations for resilient network designs, emphasizing the principles of Zero Trust and SASE (Secure Access Service Edge).
Key Highlights of Verona Summit 2026
The event will be organized into three main sessions, offering attendees a comprehensive perspective on network security:
1. Introduction Session: Understanding the Big Picture of Network Security
As ransomware attacks escalate and the reliance on cloud usage and remote work becomes ubiquitous, traditional boundary defenses face their limits. This session will offer insights into the modern security landscape and why methodologies such as Zero Trust and SASE have become imperative. Participants, from executives to operational staff, will gain essential foundational knowledge and insights into the latest trends and strategies.
2. Case Study Session: The Reality and Practicality of Verona SASE Implementation
This segment will provide a comprehensive look at the full-managed SASE “Verona” and its impact on organizations. Attendees will learn about the effective implementation of Zero Trust principles through real-world use cases, exploring how to alleviate the complexities of network management and build safer access environments while reducing operational burdens.
3. Panel Discussion Session: Unfiltered Insights and Behind-the-Scenes Stories
This candid discussion will address compelling questions such as, "Is VPN a significant factor behind ransomware attacks?" and, "How has network security evolved over the years?" Participants can expect to hear insider stories that bring new insights to the forefront of network security issues.
Insights Attendees Will Gain
- - Common attributes of targeted networks derived from ransomware infection pathways.
- - Network design principles centered around Zero Trust and SASE that complicate attacker strategies.
- - Learnings from real-world experience, both successes and failures, around modern security methodologies.
