    Douglas Santos
    Director, Advanced Threat Intelligence, Fortinet

    With more than two decades of experience in the cybersecurity field, I possess a unique blend of sales soft skills and deep technical acumen, making me a well-rounded individual who is at ease working in both technical and non-technical environments. My keen understanding of the cyber threat landscape allows me to communicate potential threats and vulnerabilities, as well as complex security issues and possible countermeasures, to any audience with ease.

    Currently, my focus is on developing innovative ways to advance the state of the art in cyber threat intelligence, while managing a team of researchers and engineers. Our goal is to identify new attack vectors and develop proactive intelligence to protect against them. To help me achieve this mission, I am driving our partnership with MITRE CTID and participating in projects that are augmenting the state of the art when it comes to threat intelligence standards, tools, and response. We are also deploying these tools and standards across Fortinet's products and systems.

    My vast experience, technical expertise, and communication skills have enabled me to excel in the cybersecurity industry, and I look forward to continuing to drive innovation and progress in this field.
