CISO50 and Future Security Awards 2020: winners revealed

As the world continues to navigate the challenges and changes brought about by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, many organsations are realising the need to accelerate their digital journeys. 

Over the last few months, businesses across multiple industries have fast-tracked their adoption of digital solutions. While this has presented numerous benefits for these organisations, it has also given threat actors the opportunity to exploit new vulnerabilities within IT systems. 

If it wasn’t clear before, it is becoming more apparent now more than ever that security is a key priority for businesses no matter their size, industry or where they are located. 

It is also becoming more evident that the role of security leaders – whether it be the enterprise CISOs and IT security teams or security vendors – are becoming more integral in enabling organisations to continue to thrive, while staying resilient in the current landscape. 

Trecognise the excellent leadership that CISOs and IT security innovators have demonstrated over the past year, TahawulTech.com and Security Advisor ME hosted the CISO 50 and Future Security Awards. 

The virtual awards ceremony celebrated individuals, businesses, and vendors that have successfully navigated today’s challenges and thrived through digital technologies and delivered ground-breaking value through innovative application of security technologies. 

The Awards welcomed organisations from across the Middle East. It acclaimed the best security minds and projects in the region whose technologies, products or solutions are deemed to have a great potential in meeting the needs of today’s new business normal. 

The CISO50 and Future Security Awards 2020 also featured a thought-provoking panel discussion on the topic, “Navigating the cybersecurity challenges of the new normal,” which spotlighted top insights from Fadi Yehia, Sales Director for South Gulf, FortinetOmar Ben Hamadou, EMEA Sales Manager, Kapalya Inc.; and Ahmed Diab, Sales Director – Security Solutions, StarLink.
