Garland Technology to Attend the last Three Spark User Summits in 2015—Sydney, Amsterdam and Boston

Buffalo, NY—Garland Technology, the leading network TAP manufacturer and a Fuel Founding Partner, will be on hand for all three Spark User Summits in December 2015—Sydney, Australia; Amsterdam, The Netherlands; and Boston, MA—to discuss the current state of network and information security with the Palo Alto Networks community.  

Spark User Summits: A Commitment to Constant Education and Cyber Security Innovation

As a Fuel Founding Partner, Garland Technology is committed to strengthening the cyber security community by providing total visibility of every bit, byte and packet^® to Palo Alto Network’s security appliances for more effective protection.

“We are excited to join our fellow Fuel members for the last three 2015 Spark User Summits on 9 December, 16 December and 18 December,” said Chris Bihary, CEO/Co-Founder of Garland Technology. “The Palo Alto Networks community understands the value of peer-to-peer education; and we want to be at the Spark User Summits to explain how 100% network access and visibility with network TAPs make their Palo Alto Networks security appliances even more effective.”

An estimated 80 to 90 million cyber security incidents occur every year, and the worst part is that 70% of them go undetected. The Fuel User Group was created with education in mind to help the Palo Alto Networks community change the narrative when it comes to enterprise data protection.

“Changing the current cyber security state of affairs will require collaboration from security professionals with a variety of proficiencies,” continued Bihary. “We know that the Fuel Spark User Summits facilitate this collaboration unlike any other events and we are pleased to put our knowledge of total network visibility into the mix.”

The Spark User Summits schedule of upcoming events is as follows:

• Sydney, Australia: 9 December 2015
• Amsterdam, The Netherlands: 16 December 2015
• Boston, MA, United States: 18 December 2015
