About the Event
The Payment Security Summit Egypt 2026 brings together regulators, financial institutions, fintech companies, payment providers, merchants, and cybersecurity professionals to address payment protection challenges in Egypt’s rapidly digitising economy. The in-person summit combines strategic discussions with technical workshops, providing executive-level content for professionals responsible for securing digital payment ecosystems.
Payment Security and PCI Compliance
A central theme of the summit is PCI DSS v4.0.1 implementation, reflecting the updated requirements organisations must meet to protect cardholder data. Sessions address continuous compliance monitoring, third-party risk management, and embedding security controls into payment infrastructure. The programme also covers online payment security, cloud security for payment systems, and securing API-driven architectures that underpin modern fintech services.
Fraud Prevention and AI-Driven Threats
The summit examines both sides of artificial intelligence in payment security: its application in fraud detection and the emerging risks posed by AI-powered cyber threats. Topics include identity protection, authentication mechanisms, and strategies for reducing fraud across digital channels. As mobile payments and instant payment systems grow in Egypt, the event addresses the operational challenges of safeguarding customer data while maintaining transaction speed.
Digital Wallets and Tokenisation
With digital wallet adoption accelerating, the summit dedicates sessions to tokenisation technologies and their role in protecting payment credentials. Discussions explore how tokenisation reduces the risk of card data exposure and supports secure mobile payment experiences. These sessions connect technical implementation details with broader business objectives around consumer trust and regulatory compliance.
