As advanced technologies grow in volume and sophistication, so do the cyber risks and threats surrounding them. With data breaches costing global firms $3.86 million on average per year, the stakes in the security arms race are higher than ever before.
This panel discussion aims to identify the different technological trends and market opportunities that will disrupt the regional security landscape, and how organisations can capitalise on them. It will also delve into the risks and business challenges that Middle East firms will face in the years to come.

  • Determine how the widening skills gap will impact the security landscape and what strategies can be applied to counter the challenges it presents
  • Understand how future technologies such as IoT devices, 5G and AI will evolve security needs
  • Identify what kind of technologies and solutions organisations need to focus their investments on
  • Discuss how organisations can future-proof their security strategies
