RCS Summit 2018

As we embark on the technological revolution that will fundamentally revolutionize the way we live, the need and significance of Cybersecurity has become extremely essential and is a core functionality of every company’s blueprint.

Cybersecurity breaches and safety threats have increased drastically in the past few years and has affected all aspects of data and information, causing massive invasions that have led to monetary and economic losses. As we transcend into the virtual realm of Cyber realities, the ever-evolving need for resilient cybersecurity has now transformed from a luxury to a necessity. Ironically, the flip side of technological advancements is the blistering rate at which cybercrimes, virtual threats, online vulnerability and lack of privacy are sprouting out at the rate of knots. Over the last decade, Cybersecurity has become extremely critical and every industry has now realized that the threats and challenges that are caused by cybersecurity, are tangible and cause long term impairments to the success and development of an organization.

Research suggests that the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) spending on cybersecurity technology and services is predicted to reach $13.43 billion by 2019, with an expected CAGR of 13.7% for the period 2013-2019. By 2019, 35% of large enterprises will increase their security consulting services spending as they transition from traditional frameworks into digital business. In terms of the need for Cybersecurity, the Middle East and Africa cybersecurity market was valued at USD 14.48 billion in 2017, and it is expected to reach a value of USD 34.6 billion by 2023, at a CAGR of 15.62%, over the forecast period between 2018 and 2023. Over time, global industries are increasingly investing in information and communication technologies which leads to financial sectors, government services, social infrastructures and all other industries becoming exceedingly dependent on internet connectivity and virtual advancements and thereby increasing the scope and necessity of progressive cybersecurity and data integrity. ITU Arab Regional Cybersecurity is organizing “ The 7th Annual Regional Cybersecurity Summit ” which will be hosted by CITRA Kuwait in collaboration with White Paper Summits (WPS). The 7th edition will encompass a vast range of key topics and highlight current trends and future security issues that affect the virtual security of organizations and interfere in business efficiency. The Summit will host 250+ key attendees from across the Middle East and globally to discuss, partner and form new ideas and policies and present the latest technological advancements that can help in battling cyber coercions. The Summit will embrace keynote presentations, case studies, panel discussions, topic focused sessions and technology showcase & demos that will enhance the knowledge and understanding of the delegates and attendees to deal with various aspects of Cyber threats and digital security issues.

We look forward to welcoming you at the 7th Regional Cybersecurity Summit 2018.
