Session: Architecting Always-On: Balancing Agility, Security, and AI-Driven Resilience with BlueCat, Opengear & IP Fabric 

Partner Panel featuring: Patrick Quirk, President, Opengear
Alongside leaders from BlueCat and IP Fabric

As AI and digital transformation push networks to operate continuously, infrastructure teams are being asked to deliver agility without sacrificing security. In this partner panel, leaders from BlueCat, Opengear, and IP Fabric share practical strategies for building always-on infrastructure that can withstand disruption, scale with demand, and remain secure under pressure.

Patrick Quirk will discuss how secure out-of-band management plays a critical role in keeping operations running during outages, cyber incidents, and other high-risk scenarios, ensuring teams retain access and control when primary networks fail. The panel brings together complementary perspectives on visibility, automation, and independent access to show how resilience becomes a foundational capability, not an afterthought.

Date and Time: Monday, February 9, 12:45 – 13:15

Location: Centre Stage

Session: Mean Time to Regret: When Faster Repairs Lead to Bigger Breaches

Presented by: Mitch Densley, Principal Solutions Architect (CISSP, PCNSE)

Every minute counts during an outage, but rushing repairs can sometimes create wide-open attack surfaces. In this high-impact 10-minute session, Mitch will break down real-world outages and breaches where remote access made the difference. He’ll also show how insecure deployments can put your infrastructure at risk. Learn how Opengear keeps management paths isolated, hardened, and invisible, so your team can respond fast without opening the door to attackers.

Date and Time: Tuesday, February 10, 13:30 – 13:40

Location: Speakers Corner
