Senior DarkMatter executives will be present at the event,
including Chief Executive Officer, Faisal
Al Bannai; Senior Vice President of Cyber Network Defence,
Stephen Brennan; Senior Vice
President of Cyber Governance, Risk & Compliance, Harshul Joshi; and other impressive
practitioners.
Stephen Brennan, who possesses
25+ years of international cyber security experience to
corporations and governments, is a keynote speaker on the first
morning of the Summit. His address will delve into The
Security of Everything, given that tomorrow's future
digital transformations, governments, converged infrastructure and
mobile enterprises are all set to create frictionless environments
to enable better and more sustainable lives.
Harshul Joshi is a panellist on
the first day of the Summit, discussing Cybersecurity in an IoT
world, where his nearly 20 years of experience in the fields of
cloud-based technologies, regulatory compliance, cyber security,
governance, risk, internal audit and privacy will be on
display.
Commenting on DarkMatter's participation at the Middle East CIO
Summit, Chief Executive Officer, Faisal Al
Bannai said, "We are pleased to support IDC at this
important industry event, where the calibre of the attendees is of
a very high standard, and represent precisely the type of
stakeholders DarkMatter wants to engage with in respect to placing
cyber security at the centre of economic activity today." The
Summit attracts over 150 leading IT industry specialists.
Faisal Al Bannai continued,
"There was a time when the role of CIOs and CTOs was viewed as
being ancillary to the successful running of an enterprise. This
has changed and now we see the importance of their roles being
acknowledged and regarded as central to the sustained success of
businesses. From DarkMatter's perspective, we believe it is
essential for discussions and strategies regarding cyber security
to be devised at Board level such is the importance of this area,
and the severity of potential loss that may occur in its
absence."
DarkMatter will also use its participation at the Summit to hold
high-level conversations with senior IT executives from across
sectors including Oil & Gas, Public Sector, Telecommunications,
and Financial Services, in order better contextualise the cyber
security requirements of specific industries.
