Event Details
The United Arab Emirates and its Gulf neighbours are targets for cyber-attacks by threat actors with financial and political motivations.
So join us for the EICN's latest event: Cybersecurity - keeping your guard up, to learn how to safeguard corporate, public and private data, and to increase your awareness of emerging cyber threats.
Although the UAE was recently ranked in the top category (Pioneering Model) of the International Telecommunication Union's 2024 Global Cybersecurity Index, indicating the highest level of commitment to cybersecurity, complacency around digital security would be negligent in the extreme.
Cyber-criminals have in their sights large corporates and government entities - organisations with deep pockets and / or valuable data - as well as educational institutions. SMEs are also vulnerable, due to the perception that they are likely to have fewer resources and less robust technical infrastructure in place to protect themselves from malicious threats.
Chief Information Security Officers (CISOs) are at the forefront of organisations' attempts to adapt to new cybersecurity changes forced upon them by a "new normal" characterised by remote working and increased automation. Businesses are embracing enhanced digital solutions and training regimes to adapt and secure their IT environments.
We are particularly honoured to be joined by a panel of regional cybersecurity experts and knowledgeable senior business leaders to discuss this high-priority topic and its implications.
Please note that this event is limited to senior-level executives and per invitation only. If you are not an existing member of The Economist Intelligence Corporate Network, but would like to learn how you can attend our events, please contact us.
