CSIS supports UAE’s initiative to create a secure cyber environment

Market Solutions Events Management and Cybersecurity Innovation Series (CSIS) express their support for the UAE’s initiative to create a safe and secure cyber environment. We will be hosting the Cybersecurity Innovation Series (CSIS) – UAE Chapter Endorsed by the UAE Cyber Security Council on September 6-7, 2022 at the Conrad Hotel in Dubai, UAE. This initiative will bring together IT and Cybersecurity professionals to share valuable expertise, ideas, and learnings on securing Enterprises, Government, Public, and Private Sectors from ever-evolving cyber threats.

Emerging technologies have always played an important role in protecting our core digital infrastructure and the hyperconnected landscape, particularly with the convergence of Internet of Things (IOT), Big Data, Cloud Computing, AI, and other technologies. This initiative will provide the ideal platform for industry leaders to gather and discuss the best way to achieve maximum resilience and security against cyber threats in the coming years.

This chapter will assist delegates in learning about the latest trends and strategies for Ransomware, Posture Management, Detecting Malicious Activities, Data Breach, Cloud, Application Security, and dealing with today’s new and upcoming Cyber Threats. In addition, our speakers and experts will discuss the challenges that the entire IT and cybersecurity community is facing.

Jiawei Liu, Huawei UAE CEO said, “Huawei has been actively working with governments, customers, and partners through various channels to safeguard end-to-end cybersecurity and jointly tackle all its challenges. Cybersecurity is a shared responsibility and a challenge that cannot be addressed by one person, organization, or nation alone. That is why we are proud to be associated with the Cyber Security Innovation Series, UAE, event to help strengthen existing partnerships with stakeholders such as the UAE’s Cybersecurity Council and forge new ones, hence support to establish the UAE as a globally trusted and safe digital oasis and realize our vision of building a fully connected, intelligent world.”  

This event will host dignitaries like His Excellency Dr. Mohamed Al-Kuwaiti, Head of Cybersecurity, UAE Government, Nicholas Charnley from TAQA – Abu Dhabi National Energy Company PJSC,  Dr. Lt. Col Hamad Khalifa Swuidan Al Nuaimi from Abu Dhabi Police General Headquarters, Aloysius Cheang and Ashraf Esmat Khalil from Huawei UAE, Taha Hussain from DEWA (Dubai Electricity & Water Authority), Richard Uhunmwagho from Standard Chartered Bank, Dan Caban from Mandiant, Imran Shaikh from Virgin Mobile, Shafiullah Ismail from Mubadala Capital, Zaheer Mubarak Shaikh from Al Maryah Community Bank, Dr. Srijith Nair from Careem, Jeevan Badigari from DAMAC Group, Sudeep Chatterjee from MetricStream, Dr. Fene Osakwe from Forbes Technology Council Member and many more.

“The rising cost of data breaches means that it’s more important for businesses to ensure that their security controls are effective. Simply installing tools and assuming that they provide ongoing protection against the latest threats is a risk that security teams cannot afford to take. 

Picus believes that security control validation is as essential as vulnerability management to improve organizations’ security postures and has developed the most complete security control validation technology to help make this process safe, simple and continuous.” Says Mr. Hamdi Alper Memis, CEO, Picus

“Cyber risk has become one of the top risks faced by organizations as the scale, sophistication, and frequency of cyber-attacks continues to grow at an alarming rate,” said Sudeep Chatterjee, General Manager, Middle East and India, MetricStream. “We are thrilled to be participating in the 3rd CSIS Cyber Security Innovation Series to take forward the conversation on connected and integrated approach to cyber risk management.”Various organizations will take part in the UAE chapter of this series, including the UAE Cyber Security Council, TAQA – Abu Dhabi National Energy Company PJSC, Virgin Mobile UAE, Standard Chartered Bank, Abu Dhabi Police General Headquarters, DEWA (Dubai Electricity & Water Authority), Huawei, Landmark Group, Mandiant, Ittihad International Investment LLC, PICUS, ENGIE, Metricstream, Mubadala Capital, Careem, Aster Retail GCC, DAMAC Group,
