Last week, Ignite on Tour made a stop in Brussels, and what an event it was! Held at the beautiful Dolce by Wyndham La Hulpe, it was a jam-packed day of insights, real-world strategies, and hands-on demos of the latest Precision AI technology from Palo Alto Networks.

 

AI: Friend or Foe?

 

Let’s be honest—AI is shaking up cybersecurity. It’s making our defenses smarter, but it’s also helping cybercriminals launch more sophisticated attacks. The big question is: how do we fight AI with AI?

 

That’s exactly what Dr. Helmut Reisinger, Chief Executive Officer, EMEA and LATAM, Palo Alto Networks, tackled in his keynote. The message was clear: businesses need real-time, AI-powered security to keep up with today’s fast-moving threats.

 

Top Moments from Ignite on Tour Brussels:

 

Fireside Chat: Real Talk on AI & Security

Cybersecurity isn’t just about fancy tech—it’s about strategy, people, and staying ahead. In a powerful fireside chat, Dr. Helmut Reisinger and Tom Gilis, CISO at UCB, shared their thoughts on how AI is transforming security. Their advice? If you’re not using AI in your cybersecurity strategy, you’re already behind.

 

AI in Cybersecurity: What’s Really Happening?

A killer panel featuring leading experts from DHL, UCB, Toyota Motor Europe, and Manuchar got real about AI’s impact. Hosted by Steven de Pauw, Palo Alto Networks Senior Manager, Technical Solutions, the discussion focused on practical ways to fight AI-driven threats and stay one step ahead.

Seeing Precision AI in Action

You can talk about AI all day, but seeing it in action is a game-changer. Attendees got hands-on with Precision AI, watching live demos on how Palo Alto Networks’ platform protects businesses from every angle—Zero Trust Network Security, AI-driven Security Operations, and Cloud Detection and Response.

 

One highlight? The Cortex XSIAM demo, showing how AI-powered Security Operations Centers (SOCs) can outpace cyber threats like never before.

The "Never Normal" World

The event wrapped up with an eye-opening keynote from entrepreneur and thought leader, Peter Hinssen. He talked about the “Never Normal” era, where change is constant and businesses must adapt or get left behind.

 

His key takeaway? AI can either be your biggest advantage or your biggest risk—it’s up to you.

 

The Power of Networking

 

One of the best parts of Ignite on Tour Brussels? The people. From coffee chats to deep-dive discussions, attendees got the chance to share ideas, talk about real-world challenges, and build connections with fellow cybersecurity pros.
