H.H Sheikh Mohammed Bin Maktoum Bin Juma Al Maktoum received by hosts Catalyst and Virsec for an exclusive event on shaping the UAE’s cybersecurity landscape with NextGen technology to make it one of the most cybersecure countries in the world.
Dubai, United Arab Emirates Mar 25, 2022 (Issuewire.com) – In the face of the rising global cyber-attacks, the UAE engages itself to strengthen its cybersecurity for the good of the nation and its people by implementing cutting-edge technology provided by international leading experts. Catalyst and Virsec offer cutting-edge technology and services to protect organisations against cyberattacks. Thanks to Virsec’s Deterministic Protection Platform organisations are protected against Zero-Day attacks.
Catalyst Business Solutions and Virsec were honoured to receive His Highness Sheikh Mohammed Bin Maktoum Bin Juma Al Maktoum for the opening speech of their exclusive cybersecurity event at the Ritz Carlton-DIFC, Dubai to discuss with their distinguished guests the ramifications of cyber criminality. The number and type of cyber-attacks are on the rise, including ransomware. State-sponsored hackers are infiltrating public institutions and blackmailing multinational companies into paying colossal sums of money to regain access to their data following attacks.
The UAE is one of the top target countries for Cyber-attacks. According to the latest Global Cybersecurity Index by the International Telecommunications Union, the UAE ranks 5th globally as CyberSafe along with Russia and Malaysia while it ranks 2nd within the Arabic states just behind Saudi Arabia. There is room for improvement, Catalyst and Virsec believe that the Emirates and its stakeholders deserve to be able to conduct business in a safe and secure environment.
”Cyber security is unequivocally our priority number” announced Amol Awasthi during his address to the distinguished guests and continued with ”Public and private organizations in our region must be made aware of the risks of cyber-attacks, adopt the best cyber security practices and take the appropriate measures to strengthen their cyber security posture.”
Catalyst and Virsec are committed to fulfilling the vision of the UAE to become one of the most cyber secure countries in the world.
