THE GULFCONGRESS ON

CYBER SECURITY

February 3rd - 5th

Conrad Hotel, Dubai

the access of international companies to Arab and African markets through multiple platforms that allow direct connection to corporate buyers and investors from these regions.

According to a new market research MarketsandMarkets, The Middle East Cyber Security Market size is expected to grow from USD 11.38 billion in 2017 to USD 22.14 billion by 2022, at an estimated Com-pound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 14.2%.

Yet at the same time, a staggering 56% of companies in the Middle East have su�ered losses greater than $500,000 as a result of cyber-attacks in the last 12 months, how will your business continue to stay digitally agile without compromising on security.

As partners in the information security community we have all been challenged in 2018 with the onslaught of DDoS and phishing campaigns with payloads that have included credential stealing malware, destructive malware and ransomware. In addition, to the evolving threat landscape, we are challenged with supporting our corporate strategies that look to leverage advancing technology and services that expand our perimeter boundaries and place a greater demand for protecting the informa-tion that our customers and fellow employees entrust us with.

From a governance perspective, we are seeing increased government and industry regulations and our corporate boards are demanding greater visibility into our programs. These challenges are expand-ing the responsibilities placed upon us as security professionals and requiring us to ensure we are following best practices.

The Gulf Congress on Cyber Security is the first event of its kind. It will bring together corporate buyers of IT Cyber Security products and solutions from the Arab World to meet with pre-selected solution providers from all over the world.

Over three days, our delegates had an amazing opportunity to meet with leaders from all over the world to connect, exchange ideas and learn and do business with each other’s. We are proud to be at the core of this exchange of ideas and we are looking forward to upcoming events in order to contin-ue the lively discussions, the exchange of fresh ideas and engaging dialogues.

Enjoy the event.
