Senior DarkMatter executives will be present at the event, including Chief Executive Officer, Faisal Al Bannai; Senior Vice President of Cyber Network Defence, Stephen Brennan; Senior Vice President of Cyber Governance, Risk & Compliance, Harshul Joshi; and other impressive practitioners.
Stephen Brennan, who possesses 25+ years of international cyber security experience to corporations and governments, is a keynote speaker on the first morning of the Summit. His address will delve into The Security of Everything, given that tomorrow's future digital transformations, governments, converged infrastructure and mobile enterprises are all set to create frictionless environments to enable better and more sustainable lives.
Harshul Joshi is a panellist on the first day of the Summit, discussing Cybersecurity in an IoT world, where his nearly 20 years of experience in the fields of cloud-based technologies, regulatory compliance, cyber security, governance, risk, internal audit and privacy will be on display.
Commenting on DarkMatter's participation at the Middle East CIO Summit, Chief Executive Officer, Faisal Al Bannai said, "We are pleased to support IDC at this important industry event, where the calibre of the attendees is of a very high standard, and represent precisely the type of stakeholders DarkMatter wants to engage with in respect to placing cyber security at the centre of economic activity today." The Summit attracts over 150 leading IT industry specialists.
Faisal Al Bannai continued, "There was a time when the role of CIOs and CTOs was viewed as being ancillary to the successful running of an enterprise. This has changed and now we see the importance of their roles being acknowledged and regarded as central to the sustained success of businesses. From DarkMatter's perspective, we believe it is essential for discussions and strategies regarding cyber security to be devised at Board level such is the importance of this area, and the severity of potential loss that may occur in its absence."
DarkMatter will also use its participation at the Summit to hold high-level conversations with senior IT executives from across sectors including Oil & Gas, Public Sector, Telecommunications, and Financial Services, in order better contextualise the cyber security requirements of specific industries.
