Today, the UAE stands at the forefront of the digital revolution and can be counted among the major nations embracing breakthrough technologies across all facets of its digital economy. The country has been making concerted efforts to capitalise on innovations in crypto, metaverse, and blockchain as it seeks to position itself as the global hub for Web 3.0.
While Web 3.0 has the potential to create new growth opportunities and connect the world like never before, it also comes with a caveat. As the frontrunner in innovation, the UAE must ensure its businesses uphold robust cybersecurity practices.
A recent survey found that 44 percent of CISOs in the UAE feel that their organisation is at risk of suffering a cyber-attack in the next 12 months. Businesses must understand that if they do not act proactively, it is only a matter of when—not if—a cyber-attack will happen. As the UAE emerges as a leading player in the Web 3.0 space, CPX believes there are ways to stay ahead in today’s sophisticated threat landscape and that no business has to undertake this responsibility alone.
As a young organisation established in the innovation hub of Abu Dhabi, CPX, entered the market with a modern approach to cybersecurity. The company works with industry leaders, well-known companies, and innovative startups. CPX believes “Every business is in the cybersecurity business,” meaning that every company should be deeply involved in cybersecurity strategies and measures. And this is exactly where CPX comes in. It has a clear mandate to help businesses improve their cyber maturity and build a vibrant cybersecurity ecosystem that delivers more than just reactive cybersecurity strategies.
Hadi Anwar, Chief Cyber Defence Officer at CPX, talks to ITP.net on the cybersecurity landscape and what they provide to aid their customers in the region. Watch the full video down below.
