organisations in Jordan. The summit is taking place on 15 – 16

Amman, Jordan, Aug 11, 2022 - (ACN Newswire) - The 17th global
edition of World Cyber Security Summit will be held under the
auspices of H.E. Dr Bisher Al-Khasawneh, Prime Minister of the
Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, and supported by the Ministry of
Digital Economy and Entrepreneurship, Jordan. The summit is taking
place on 15 – 16 August 2022 at The Ritz-Carlton in Amman, Jordan.
World Cyber Security Summit is part of a global series and is
brought to Jordan by Trescon, a global business events and
consulting firm that specialises in hosting future-tech events
across the world.
As the country braces for a protracted cyber insecurity, government
and organisations are looking for an action plan to mitigate the
risks and become resilient to cyber threats. Thus resulting in the
announcements of a raft of policies to manage digital
vulnerabilities in the recent years. In order for effective
implementation of these policies, World Cyber Security Summit will
play its part by providing a platform to conduct thorough debates,
and deliberations on the proposed cyber security strategies.
The summit will host more than 300+ C level attendees, including
government officials, Chief Information Security Officers, Chief
Information Officers, CEOs and technology leaders from enterprises
and government agencies in Jordan to meet, network, and engage with
global cyber security experts and technology innovators over the
course of two days.
"The importance of cyber security is being increased and it is not
an option for companies and organizations, and having the advanced
defence in place is required for critical infrastructure and data.
Sensitive data and information protection is the source of trust in
organizations," said H.E. Belal Hafnawi, Commissioner - Board
Member at Telecommunications Regulatory Commission
(TRC-Jordan).
Abdulrahman Al-Nimari, VP - Cybersecurity from Saudi Arabia stated,
"Remember: compliance to regulations does not mean you are secure,
you must have your own risk driven cyber security program and
strategy that mitigate your own unique risks."
Haidar Fraihat, Cluster Leader - Statistics, Information Society,
and Technology at United Nations Economic and Social Commission for
Western Asia (ESCWA) says, "Corporations can easily fall into the
false sense of security syndrome. Illusioned that their precious
data is safe, they may tend to drop guard and invest less in
enhancing their data security. Realizing that data and information
is the strategic asset to organizations, perhaps more than
financial resources, is of paramount importance to keep your
competitive edge, security and even survivability. Feeling secure
doesn't mean you are really secure."
