GISEC
Dubai:

The
11th
edition
of
GISEC
Global

GISEC
Global
2023
to
shine
spotlight
on
‘never
trust,
always
verify’
IT
infrastructure
model
dubbed
by
experts
as
the
security
framework
of
the
future

Middle
East
governments
and
corporates
are
expected
to
invest
heavily
in
Zero
Trust
Access
(ZTA)
IT
systems
over
the
coming
years
to
ward
off
the
omnipresent
threat
of
cyber-attacks,
providing
a
major
boost
to
the
region’s
cybersecurity
market
that’s
predicted
to
more
than
double
in
value
over
the
next
five
years.

Exhibitors
at
next
month’s
GISEC
Global
cybersecurity
exhibition
in
Dubai,
said
ZTA
security
–
an
approach
to
designing
IT
infrastructure
with
a
‘never
trust,
always
verify’
model
–
will
be
highly
sort
after
in
2023
and
beyond,
as
organisations
seek
to
protect
their
data
and
systems
against
constantly
evolving
and
increasingly
sophisticated
cyber
threats.

In
the
Middle
East,
the
pervasive
‘work
from
anywhere’
culture
is
convincing
companies
to
double
down
on
their
efforts
to
protect
digital
assets,
fuelling
the
region’s
cybersecurity
market
that,
according
to
analysts
Markets
and
Markets,
will
grow
from
US$20
billion
in
2022
to
US$44.7
billion
in
2027,
clocking
17
percent
annual
growth.

Rising
IoT
traffic,
increasing
technological
advancements
and
modernisation
of
enterprises
are
also
fuelling
demand
for
zero
trust
security
solutions,
with
MarkNtel
Advisors,
a
research
company,
expecting
the
Middle
East
ZTA
market
to
grow
by
16
percent
annually
over
the
next
five
years.

The
core
cybercrime
methods
haven’t
changed,
but
the
sophistication
of
them
has
increased. 
The
good
news
is
IT
security
professionals
and
C-level
decision
makers
will
have
no
shortage
of
solutions
to
investigate
at
the
11^th edition
of
GISEC
Global
2023,
which
returns
to
the
Dubai
World
Trade
Centre
from
14-16
March,
featuring
more
than
400
exhibitors
from
42
countries.

Household
names
such
as
tech
titans
Huawei
and
Microsoft
will
be
out
in
full
force
at
the
annual
three-day
event,
alongside
headline
ground-breaking
infosec
companies
including
Spire
Solutions,
CPX,
Mandiant,
Pentera,
Cloudfare,
Crowdstrike,
Edgio,
Secureworks,
Synack,
Threatlocker,
and
Votiro.

“In
our
increasingly
digital
world,
security
is
a
key
concern
and
area
of
focus,”
said Waseem
Hashem,
Business
Group
Director
for
Modern
Work
&
Security
at
Microsoft
UAE. 
“At
Microsoft,
we
have
a
long-standing
commitment
to
securing
our
platforms
and
providing
solutions,
and
our
answer
to
safeguarding
the
digital
space
in
the
face
of
evolving
threats
is
the
Zero
Trust
network
and
architecture.

“Businesses
worldwide
are
prioritising
secure
and
efficient
network
access,
making
the
adoption
of
Zero
Trust
non-negotiable.
In
the
Middle
East,
in
particular,
where
cyber
threats
are
becoming
more
persistent
and
sophisticated,
the
implementation
of
this
approach
is
a
critical
step
for
organisations
to
protect
their
sensitive
data.”

CPX,
a
home-grown
cyber
security
entity
based
in
the
UAE,
will
this
year
showcase
its
complete
suite
of
end-to-end
cybersecurity
capabilities
covering
all
industries
from
energy
&
utilities
to
government
and
defence,
healthcare,
finance
and
transportation. 
Commenting
on
the
Zero-Trust
networks, Paul
Lawson,
Executive
Director
at
CPX,
said:
“The
fast-paced
growth
of
emerging
technologies
like
AI/ML,
Cloud
and
IoT
has
put
a
strain
on
an
organization’s
ability
to
secure,
protect
and
mitigate
looming
cyber
threats.

“We
expect
these
shifts
to
significantly
contribute
to
a
rise
in
the
adoption
of
Zero
Trust
models.
A
Zero
Trust
approach
distrusts
all
entities
by
default,
requiring
all
users
inside
and
outside
a
network
to
be
continuously
authenticated
and
authorised.

Added Lawson:
“In
the
Middle
East,
many
organisations
still
depend
on
a
traditional
firewall-based
perimeter
architecture.
As
organisations
embrace
new
advanced
technologies
and
frequently
migrate
to
Cloud,
they
should
align
and
enhance
their
cybersecurity
posture
by
deploying
Zero
Trust
‘aware’
technologies.”

Zero
Trust
to
replace
VPN
by
2025
–
Gartner

Another
key
factor
behind
the
growth
of
ZTA
is
the
increasing
adoption
of
cloud
technologies,
leaving
organisations
migrating
workloads
to
the
cloud
increasingly
vulnerable
to
wily
attackers,
posing
major
challenges
and
causing
significant
losses.

Tech
research
firm
Gartner
predicts
that
zero
trust
network
access
will
even
replace
virtual
private
networks
(VPNs)
by
2025,
with
the
rise
in
remote
work
and
the
continuing
threat
of
cyber-attacks
urging
companies
to
scout
for
more
robust
security
frameworks.

As
a
result,
says Anil
Bhandari,
Chief
Mentor
at
ARCON
–
a
cybersecurity
provider
with
sales
headquarters
in
Houston,
Texas
–
organisations
are
gearing
their
investments
towards
a
system
that,
among
several
characteristics,
uses
multi-factor
authentication
to
verify
the
identity
of
users
and
devices.

“According
to
our
research,
adopting
zero
trust
networks
and
architecture
will
be
a
top
priority
for
IT
security
executives
in
the
Middle
East
and
around
the
world
this
year,”
said Bhandari,
who
will
be
at
GISEC
Global
2023
with
ARCON’s
Converged
Identity
Management
platform
–
a
Software
as
a
Service
identity
and
access
management
platform.

“In
the
Middle
East,
in
particular,
for
a
typical
large-scale
enterprise
or
mid-size
company,
the
IT
perimeter
is
no
longer
confined
to
on-premises
data
centres.
As
modern-day
IT
infrastructure
is
large
and
distributed
in
hybrid
and
multi-cloud
setups,
Middle
East
IT
security
leaders
will
look
to
build
micro-segmentation
and
micro-perimeters
for
controlling
and
securing
digital
identities.”

‘Think
Zero
Trust’
at
GISEC
Global
2023

CyberKnight,
a
UAE-based
cybersecurity
value-added-distributor
will
meanwhile
have
a
dedicated
‘Think
Zero
Trust’
theme
at GISEC
Global
2023,
with
CMO
Olesya
Pavlova,
stating
that
attackers
are
continuously
expanding
their
capabilities
and
taking
advantage
of
an
ever-growing
number
of
attack
vectors.

“In
2022,
we
saw
that
cybercriminals
targeted
Middle
East
critical
infrastructure,
including
information
technology,
financial
services,
healthcare,
and
energy
sectors,
with
headline-grabbing
incidents,”
said Pavlova, whose
CyberKnight
recently
partnered
with
American
zero
trust
real-world
cybersecurity
company
Xage
to
accelerate
ZTA
adoption
across
the
Middle
East.

“Currently,
we
see
XDR,
data
security,
threat
intelligence
and
application
security
with
the
highest
demand. 
Our
purpose
remains
the
same
going
forward
–
to
help
fight
cybercrime
using
Zero
Trust.”

Elsewhere,
US-based
StrikeReady
will
showcase
its
award-winning
AI-powered
Cognitive
Security
Platform
at
GISEC
Global
2023. 
AI
capabilities
such
as
reinforcement
learning,
natural
language
understanding,
and
proactive
conversational
AI
enable
StrikeReady’s
Cognitive
Security
Platform
to
offer
innovative
features
such
as
a
virtual
cybersecurity
assistant.

Anurag
Gurtu,
Chief
Product
Officer
at
StrikeReady,
said
in
order
to
continue
to
evolve
in
the
same
way
that
attackers
do,
thriving
organisations
must
have
ZTA
as
part
of
their
cyber
security
transformation.

“The
Middle
East
is
one
of
the
few
regions
that
adopts
cyber
security
early,
so
I
suspect
many
businesses
there
have
looked
into
ZTA,”
said Gurtu. 
“Attackers
are
innovative,
and
their
tactics
continue
to
evolve
to
defeat
existing
cyber
defences.
It
is
imperative
that
the
industry
adapts
and
evolves
in
order
to
stay
competitive
with
attackers.”

GISEC
Global
is
organised
by
the
Dubai
World
Trade
Centre
(DWTC),
with
the
annual
three-day
event
also
comprising
an
extensive
conference
programme
under
the
theme
‘Connecting
minds,
boosting
cyber
resilience’,
with
13-tracks
tackling
the
evolving
cyber
landscape
and
corresponding
threats
across
multiple
industries.

“The
Zero
Trust
model
addresses
the
Middle
East’s
growing
concern
of
cyber-attacks
on
critical
infrastructure,
while
providing
a
more
comprehensive
approach
to
security
by
requiring
verification
of
all
users
and
devices,
regardless
of
location,
and
implementing
strict
access
controls,”
said Riju
George,
Group
Director
for GISEC
at
DWTC.

“The
largest
ever
edition
of
GISEC
Global
in
2023
will
deliver
an
unmatched
ecosystem
of
the
world’s
premier
cybersecurity
players,
helping
governments
and
businesses
address
unprecedented
security
risks,
while
enhancing
their
opportunities
to
innovate
and
thrive
in
a
constantly
evolving
digital
economy.”
