Fortavera
About
Peter Galanis is the Founder and CEO of Fortavera. He brings nearly 30 years of Fortune 20 cybersecurity and technology leadership, including roles heading global cyber defense at Verizon and running multiple global departments while at AT&T. He founded Fortavera around a simple belief: stability, standardization, and security shouldn't be reserved for the enterprise. Boring is the goal: uneventful, on purpose. Under his leadership, Fortavera's proprietary SecureSpace engine rapidly configures the entire Microsoft 365 stack and endpoints to meet compliance and regulatory standards, delivered as a service to direct clients and channel partners alike, making clients' existing stacks work better without adding new tools. The result: fewer tickets, faster MTTR, and higher first-time resolution.

The Cyber Vortex: The 99% Challenge
What you will learn:
Cyber risk doesn’t flow in one direction. It is a vortex: the weakest parts of our digital ecosystem absorb attacks, amplify them, and send them back at everyone. What if the best way to protect the fortified few is to build a stronger foundation for everyone? The Cyber Vortex challenges the way we think about systemic cyber risk and the industry’s reliance on more tools, more talent, and more questionnaires. Peter Galanis will show why the exposed base of the economy affects every organization, how AI is accelerating the cycle, and how a standardized, continuously verified foundation can make every security investment we already own work better.
