MIDDLE EAST
Conference Overview
Middle East countries are pursuing digitization, with the increasing mass adoption of connected digital technologies &
applications by consumers, enterprises, and governments. The region’s digital markets are expanding at an overall compound
annual growth rate of 12 percent and are expected to be worth US$35 billion in 2015. Security is a prevalent concern in the
Middle East, all of our devices are interconnected over the internet or the web by the adoption of Cloud and Mobile technology.
Cyber threats are a global phenomenon and are continually developing in sophistication and impact, despite the advances in
cyber security technologies and practice. The progressing success of digitization initiatives among the countries of the Middle
East widens the scope of growing exposure to the risk of cyber attacks. The assets of Middle East countries and their rapid
adoption of digitization have made the region an attractive target for a wide array of cyber threats. Indeed, governments and
large organizations in almost every vital sector of the region have sustained damage from cyber attacks. National & International
governments in the region are determined to create a secure digital environment, but these initiatives are fragmented, tactical,
and reactive.
The Middle East Cyber Security Summit will discuss the need to have a strategic approach to national cyber security, focussing
on implementation of “CCC” framework — comprehensive in nature, collaborative by intention, and capability-driven. This
Summit will serve Central and Local Government, Critical Infrastructure, Energy and Utilities, Telecommunications and
Network Service Sectors, Oil and Gas Sectors, Finance and Banking Institutions, E-Commerce and Business Sectors,
Technology Industries, Research and Development Organizations, Security and Intelligence Services, Police Services and
Crime Prevention, Transportation, ICT Networks, individual consumers and many more in learning from recent cases and
identifying the transformation necessary to get rid of such consistent global threats where any individual device could cause
an infringement.
