As the Middle East continues to develop a robust cybersecurity infrastructure and economy, it remains one of the most promising global regions for industry growth; its commitment to regulation, cybersecurity training, and supply chain security set it apart as an industry leader with an ambitious vision to integrate technologies and meet evolving client needs. Organised by DWTC and hosted by UAE Cyber Security Council, the upcoming GISEC Global 2024 exhibition is a testament to the UAE’s prioritisation of collaboration, innovation, and talent development.

“Cybersecurity leaders benefit from GISEC by gaining access to the latest industry trends, insights, and innovations, enabling them to stay ahead of the curve in a rapidly evolving cyber landscape. The event serves as a melting pot of ideas and solutions, offering leaders the tools and knowledge necessary to bolster their organizations’ cyber defences,” explained Dr. Reem Faraj AlShammari, Chairperson and Cofounder of Women in CyberSecurity MiddleEast.

“It’s a known fact that our Middle East region has continuously faced distinct cybersecurity challenges, including sophisticated cyber-attacks targeting critical infrastructure, the need for improved cybersecurity governance and regulations, and a narrowing the skills gap in the cybersecurity workforce. GISEC addresses many of these issues by providing a platform for dialogue, collaboration, and the exchange of best practices among international and regional cybersecurity professionals. With this year’s comprehensive agenda and strategic partnerships, GISEC is no longer seen as just a conference but as one of the leading regional hubs for advancing cybersecurity resilience and expertise in our Middle East region.” added.
