What is BlueCat demonstrating at Cisco Live EMEA and why is it relevant to organizations?
At Cisco Live EMEA BlueCat is demonstrating Adaptive DNS and how organizations can leverage DNS data to improve network infrastructure and cybersecurity. The presentation aims to show practical ways DNS visibility and analytics help identify malicious activity, support breach detection, and inform network decision-making. By using DNS data operationally, organizations can gain actionable insight into threats and infrastructure behavior without relying solely on traditional perimeter controls.
What topics will BlueCat CTO Andrew Wertkin cover in his presentation 'The Enemy Within'?
Andrew Wertkin will walk attendees through BlueCat’s e-book ‘Exposing the Enemy Within’ and explain how thinking like a malicious adversary helps defenders. The session focuses on how attackers leverage DNS during intrusions and how defenders can use DNS data to identify and stop breaches before they cause damage. The talk is oriented toward defenders seeking practical techniques to detect and disrupt adversary activity via DNS telemetry.
What other events and opportunities at Cisco Live EMEA does the article highlight for attendees?
The article highlights several event elements: an opening keynote delivering industry insights and context for digital transformation; a Connected Women’s event featuring a panel and keynote on workplace diversity and female leadership; Tech Circles, which are lunch-and-learn style sessions requiring registration and limited seating; and evening social events like #CLEURSocial and Customer Appreciation Night for networking.

From January 29 to February 2, 2018, some of the best and brightest organizations in the world of IT will be strutting their stuff at Cisco Live EMEA in Barcelona, and BlueCat is proud to be attending! We’re excited to demonstrate the power of Adaptive DNS and show how organizations can leverage DNS data to improve their network infrastructure and cybersecurity protocols.
Cisco Live will take place at the Fira Barcelona Gran Via (which is a venue to behold all on its own). So it’s only fitting that it will be home to some of the most innovative tech companies from around the globe over the course of five days.
In a city like Barcelona, there’s no shortage of incredible things to see and do, and this year’s edition of Cisco Live reflects the diversity and vibrancy of the city where it is taking place. Here’s a quick rundown of some of the top events and presentations that are sure to be worth a visit.
1. Opening keynote address
Kick off Cisco Live right! With invaluable insights from industry leaders, this keynote will set the tone for the days to come. BlueCat knows as well as anyone the importance of digital transformation to any corporate strategy. In fact, according to IDC, by the end of 2019, digital transformation spending is predicted to reach $1.7 trillion worldwide, a 42% increase from 2017.
2. Connected women’s event
After being voted as one of Canada’s Best Workplaces for Women (among others), BlueCat know the importance of having a diverse workplace where everyone is represented, and where everyone feels like they’re in a position to succeed. This event will feature a panel discussion and keynote address from successful women across the industry.
3. BlueCat CTO Andrew Wertkin presents: The Enemy Within
We might be a little biased, but this is one presentation you do not want to miss. BlueCat CTO Andrew Wertkin will walk attendees through our e-book, Exposing the Enemy Within, and explain how they can benefit from thinking like a malicious adversary. By understanding how attackers leverage DNS as part of your cyber defense, you’ll gain valuable insight into identifying and ultimately stopping a breach before damage is done, thanks to DNS data.
4. Tech Circles
At Cisco Live, the learning never stops. Even lunch is an opportunity to interact and engage. Tech Circles are a new take on Lunch and Learn sessions, allowing attendees and presenters to dive into exciting topics over a free lunch. But make sure to register beforehand – space is limited!
5. Get social!
After a long day of visiting booths and taking in presentations and engaging in discussion, it’s time to unwind and get to know your peers in a more relaxed setting. From the #CLEURSocial to Customer Appreciation Night, each day of Cisco Live ends with the opportunity to network with fellow attendees (snacks and drinks included, of course).
It’s safe to say that Cisco Live EMEA will have something for everyone. If you’ll be joining us in Barcelona, make sure to stop by BlueCat’s booth (G10) for some great demos, great conversation, and maybe even a few games and prizes! Haven’t registered yet?
