Saudi Arabia to Take Center Stage in Hyper-Resilient Cybersecurity Advancements

The use of convenient digital platforms such as Absher, Qiwa, Nusuk, and many more, for governmental services are one of the factors responsible for the Kingdom’s global recognition on the cyber front. Additionally, Saudi Arabia aims to increase the contribution of its digital economy to 19% of its GDP by 2030, up from 5.48% in 2021.

“In the face of ever-evolving cyber threats, true resilience requires more than just robust defenses. It demands a proactive, adaptable mindset - one that embraces innovation, anticipates the unexpected, and empowers our people to be the first line of defense.

Join us as we explore the frontiers of hyper resilient cyber, where cybersecurity is not just a safeguard, but a strategic advantage that propels Saudi Arabia's digital future” said Samir Omar, Chief Security Strategy Advisor/CEO at Virtuport.

Virtuport’s MENA Information Security Conference 2024 emerges as a crucial platform for addressing the evolving cybersecurity landscape. Now in its 12th edition, MENA ISC 2024 will bring together top industry leaders such as Salam, CyberKnight and Cyber Polygon, visionaries, market innovators and experts to discuss the latest cybersecurity challenges and share groundbreaking solutions.

"MENA ISC plays a pivotal role in Saudi Arabia's cybersecurity capacity building, serving as a cornerstone for fostering collaboration and innovation among industry leaders. For CyberKnight, this event is an invaluable platform to demonstrate our commitment to enhancing cybersecurity in the region. It allows us to engage with local enterprise and government entities, showcase cutting-edge solutions and contribute to the Kingdom's Vision 2030 of a secure digital future. Our participation underscores the importance of such gatherings in facilitating knowledge exchange, networking, and the collective strengthening of our cyber defenses, ultimately driving regional cyber resilience forward." said Avinash Advani, CEO at CyberKnight.

The conference will focus on creating a comprehensive cybersecurity framework that leverages the strengths and resources of government entities, private enterprises and international partners and aims to encourage partnerships between various sectors and players to foster a hyper-resilient cyber environment that can navigate the ever-changing threat landscape.
