GITEX 2021 will feature Spire Solutions, with a focus on securing MEA’s digital assets. Given the increasing number of cyber threats and assaults in the region, GITEX 2021 is concentrating extensively on cybersecurity this year, with Spire Solutions as one of the key cybersecurity partners.

The event’s major focus will be “Securing Middle East and Africa’s Digital Assets,” which aligns with regional aims and GITEX’s core theme of “Creating a braver digital future together.” Spire will include its technology partners Elastic, Cribl, Gigamon, XMCyber, Corelight, Sectrio, and Spire Data to demonstrate a variety of specialist solutions and services.

Spire’s Founder & President, Sanjeev Walia, said, “Along with technology and digitization conversations, cybersecurity has taken center stage regionally as digital initiatives are at risk if associated digital assets are compromised. Also, regional mega-events such as Expo2020 and Fifa2022 are proactively focusing on cybersecurity. With such developments, events like GITEX become imperative to showcase the latest solutions to current and emerging challenges and connect the industry together. We will emphasize proactively securing digital assets and work together with our partners and customers to enhance the regional cybersecurity landscape.”
