While technology has transformed the way we do business, it has seeded an unprecedented amount of risk in organizations paving way for hackers to infiltrate
their systems. Emerging markets are becoming a hot bed for the hackers to try their skills, harvest information as well as cause damage – for political, financial,
and economic motives.

The Cyber Defence Summit taking place in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia will gather global experts in the cyber arena giving you the latest insights on securing your
organization’s critical business infrastructures.
