Gil Shwed, founder, chairman and chief executive of Check Point Software Technologies, will take part in the now-familiar "fireside chat" Q&A session with EFI chief executive Guy Gecht.

"I am excited to speak at EFI's Connect conference to share my views and experiences from 20 years of working with businesses worldwide," said Shwed. "After the fireside chat keynote session, attendees will be better informed about the increasing risks of cyber threats."

Under Shwed's leadership, Check Point has become the world's most successful internet security technology firm, with more than 100,000 clients, including all Fortune and Global 100 companies.

Gecht said: "Internet security is something businesses of all sizes need to understand if they are going to navigate the ever-evolving threats in our 24x7 connected world.

"Gil has unique and visionary views, and I could not have asked for a better expert to come to Connect and address this increasingly important topic."

EFI Connect will take place at The Wynn, Las Vegas from 21-24 January 2014. It will feature more than 150 educational sessions, as well as hands-on demonstrations and networking opportunities.
