2024 is facing a whole new dimension of Cybersecurity. Cyber Wars are now as destructive as civil wars. Since the beginning of a digital transformation in high gear, new processes, and products were brought up to speed with a change of management as flexible as possible to improve speed to market, filling the gap for the newly and aggressively introduced work environments like WFH. While extending the security perimeter and responsibilities of information security personnel to fulfill bridging from private cloud to public cloud back and forth, including providing digital services to a different spectrum of users, high-profile security lapses ensued as expected. Gartner predicted that 60% of digital businesses would suffer major service failures by 2024 due to the inability of security teams to manage digital risk. This year, 2024, the Arab Security Conference is focusing on supporting business leaders to think more thoroughly about effective information security attainment to ensure economy of scale and growth in the digital transformation era.

Today’s organizations face challenges from multiple directions, including threats to the business from state-sponsored cyberattacks, geopolitical turmoil, inflation, and a shortage of security skills. For CISOs to succeed in this unprecedented security landscape, they must balance these threats with new approaches by performing continuous risk assessments, protecting digital assets, and managing the rapid pace of innovation in security technologies. Whether it is the massive shift to the cloud, the increasing automation of IT processes, or the flexibilization of the way employees work, CISOs are faced with more complex networks and an expanded attack surface, making their jobs even more difficult. However, new technology capabilities powered by AI/ML-enabled automation and better orchestration tools provide options to shore up resilience in the face of disruption. Put to their optimal use, they can protect critical business assets from breaches and attacks from cybercriminals, creating trust and ensuring compliance with new digital sovereignty rules. The 2024 edition of the IDC Security Roadshow will explore the region's security landscape, showcase the latest in security innovation, and bring together some of the world’s foremost cybersecurity experts. Join us as we discuss a myriad of topics, trends, and issues at the forefront of the CISO agenda and share essential guidance on how to keep up with — and stay ahead of — the rapid pace of change and digital acceleration.
