Cybertech Global Conference

The Cybertech Global Conference, one of the largest networking events for the cyber industry, returns to Dubai for the second time in full scale and in-person and will be held on 13-14 June 2022.

This conference will highlight the latest technological innovations, challenges and solutions to combat threats within the global cyber arena. It gathers thousands of C level decision-makers and brings new market opportunities for multinational corporations, startups, private and corporate investors, venture capital firms, government entities and academia.

The first edition held in 2021 was attended by His Highness, Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, the Crown Prince of Dubai.

As more organisations become aware of high risks and incidents, investments in cybersecurity is increasing and an average of 65% of organisations expect a rise in cyber spending this year. A recent PwC survey showed that more than half the CISOs and CIOs have not fully mitigated the risks associated with remote work (50%), digitisation (53%) or cloud adoption (54%). 

Hence, the Cybertech Global Conference is the perfect platform to foster expert collaborations, create new business opportunities with a wide range of sectors with conference sessions and special events highlighting AI, Advanced IoT, Big Data, Cloud, Blockchain, and focuses on a wide spectrum of different sectors ranging from finance and insurance, SCADA/ICS, mobile and communications, health industry, smart mobility, and many more.

Cybertech Global Conference provides attendees and companies alike with a unique opportunity to network, strengthen existing alliances and form new ones, all while becoming acquainted with the latest innovations and solutions from the international cyber community.

The UAE as an international hub for technology and innovation will use the event to break boundaries of global innovation. The conference is also a platform to present new cybersecurity programs, while innovative young startups present their cutting-edge developments and obtain global exposure.

The announcement was made by Dr Mohamed Al Kuwaiti, Head of Cybersecurity, UAE Government; Amir Rapaport, Founder and Chief Editor of Cybertech and co-author of ‘Cybermania’, and Ankit Shukla, Managing Director, QNA Marcom.
