“@HACK has been a tremendous success, with highly enthusiastic participation from the global and regional cybersecurity communities and from Saudi Arabia’s own growing cybersecurity community,” said Faisal Al-Khamisi, Chairman of the Saudi Federation SAFCSP.

As the threats posed by cybersecurity continue to evolve, those that attend the event can gain invaluable knowledge from global experts, see the latest cutting-edge technology in action, and network with industry figures in person.

“When @Hack launches it will be the most influential and impactful infosec gathering across the region, 3x larger than any other cyber event. Having the right support system from the industry is crucial,” says Michael.

The event is being held in support of Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 and SAFCSP’s mission to make one in every 100 Saudi citizens a programmer and to elevate the Kingdom’s status in the tech domain.
