SUMMIT OVERVIEW
Security breaches have now become inevitable and the approach of corporates and governments have moved
from prevention to resilience. While emerging technologies are becoming double-edged swords, the role of the
Chief Information Security officer needs to be established clearly to ensure that we not only upgrade to newer
technologies, but also account for safety of our data and systems.
While the world is engulfed in the cloud of security vulnerabilities, EC Council brings to you its “MENA CISO
Summit” which is the regional chapter for our very respected “Global CISO Forum” hosted in Atlanta every year.
This program will cover the most pressing security concerns of companies and governments globally and is
being hosted on 18-19 April 2018 at Dusit Thani Dubai.
The Middle East is soon gaining the reputation of a global market and as the natural choice for multinational
companies to work with. A market like this serves as an excellent platform for a program like this which covers
some of the most innovative and detailed solutions to your everyday security needs. Some of the discussions
that you will witness are; including artificial intelligence in your security solutions, increased attacks against
cloud services, building threat intelligence and understanding of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)
which is going to become a mandate for all the companies within Europe (including UK) and for the companies
doing business with them.
Hear global experts will share their opinions on some of the burning issues in cyber security. Alongside the
summit, we will also be hosting our CISO awards for the experts in the Middle East and North Africa region to
complement their efforts in building a safer MENA region.
