Information and Communications Technology Association of Jordan
(Intaj), where he shared his insights on the topic ‘Employment in
the Cyber Security' by quoting, "As companies mature on their
digital transformation journeys, cybersecurity remains the biggest
concern: 69 per cent of US executives believe cyber security is the
biggest AI-related risk."
Abdulrahman Al-Nimari, VP, Cyber Security from Saudi Arabia spoke
at length on ‘Zero Trusting Your Enterprise. He was quoted saying,
"You believe that if this gadget is making a call to an external
network, it is making a positive call because we believe in that
device. However, the call is essentially a command-and-control
request to the internet to obtain the ransomware's symmetric key.
Therefore, by authorising that outbound connection, you are
personally enabling the attack."
While speaking about ‘Building a Resilient Cybersecurity
Organization', George Eapen, Group CIO, Petrofac mentioned that,
"For the right security outcome, CISO must build an ecosystem
consisting of complementary solutions/partners/team."
The event also witnessed a panel discussion on the topic
‘Leveraging AI in Threat Intelligence to Enable Protection from
Advanced Threats' that was moderated by Dr. Hossam Elshenraki
"It comes down to the fact that cybersecurity is a shared duty and
that the more systems we secure, the safer we are all. We're happy
to have hosted World Cyber Security Summit in Jordan, and loved the
support we received from the tech fraternity in Jordan with the
help of international delegates, sponsors, thought leaders, and
