Cyber Defence Summit 2013
March 4 - 5, 2013
Muscat , Oman
The Cyber Defence Summit – Middle East & North Africa is gathering the key regional stakeholders in Muscat, Oman to discuss and explore the heightened importance of cyber security in the region. Under the theme ‘Defending your virtual borders’ – the invitation-only initiative is focused on protecting the virtual boundaries of the MENA region. It enables C-level cyber security experts from Government authorities, plus the banking, oil and gas and defence sectors to identify and resolve online security challenges.
As MENA countries continue to develop their IT infrastructure and heavy reliance on information and communications technology, governments must ensure they protect their critical assets.
The repercussions of a cyber-attack against important institutions and sectors such as: Banks, telecoms, oil and gas, energy and utilities, can have an immense impact on a country’s economic prosperity and undermine its sovereignty. Sufficient regulations and legislation are not currently in place in MENA – making it an easier target for cyber criminals. As the region continues to expand its virtual borders, the risk of an attack increases.
Featured Speakers
Phillip Victor,His Excellency Engineer Ali Bin Masoud Al Sunaidi,Stefan Luders,Yurie Ito and many more.
