SPOTLIGHT ON SECURITY TRANSFORMATION
THE SECOND EDITION OF CYBER STRATEGISTS SUMMIT AND AWARDS 2023 WAS HELD AT SHANGRI-LA HOTEL IN DUBAI. THE EVENT BROUGHT TOGETHER INDUSTRY PRACTITIONERS AND CYBERSECURITY EXPERTS IN THE REGION TO EXPLORE NEW WAYS TO BUILD CYBER RESILIENCY AND DISCUSS INNOVATIONS.
We find ourselves faced with increasing cybersecurity risks in an already challenging environment. The pandemic has opened Pandora’s box regarding security; never have we seen such a dramatic escalation in cyber threats before. Technology innovation was a blessing for many enterprises during the pandemic, without which many businesses would have come to a grinding halt. But, on the flip side, it has exposed all of us to an environment rife with cybercrime, and cybercriminals are constantly looking to exploit vulnerabilities in our systems and networks.
