GISEC Global 2024 Highlights the Significance of Data Protection on World Backup Day Celebrating World Backup Day on March 31, 2024, GISEC Global is featuring renowned speakers and exhibitors discussing the crucial need to back up sensitive data and the diverse backup solutions for individuals and businesses. As an international nexus for the cybersecurity community – the Middle East and Africa’s largest and most impactful cybersecurity event – GISEC Global 2024 will welcome over 750 of the world’s foremost cybersecurity companies, as well as 350-plus international speakers and 1,000 ethical hackers from more than 130 countries. Dr Aloysius Cheang, Chief Security Officer, Huawei Middle East & Central Asia, which is returning as an exhibitor for the fourth year, said, “This exhibition delivers the best in relevancy, forward-thinking, and innovation when it comes to programming. GISEC Global and the UAE together is the formula for building a trusted digital oasis in the heart of the Arab world.” The super-connector event is scheduled from 23-25 April at the Dubai World Trade Centre, focusing on networking, knowledge-sharing, and cross-sector
collaboration. The 13th edition highlights the importance of data backup for cybersecurity, serving as both a precautionary measure and a recovery solution in case of cyberattacks. Data backups are essential to a robust cybersecurity strategy As the Middle East continues to increase its dependence on technology, backup processes are becoming an essential component of a robust cybersecurity strategy. Amid the growing threat of cyberattacks and the rising financial and reputational risk associated with data loss, businesses and individuals alike are needing to proactively secure their valuable assets and sensitive information. “In the Middle East, organisations are very actively engaged in digital transformation, which leads to an expansion of the surface that cybercriminals use to attack,” said Alexey Lukatsky, Managing Director and Cyber Security Business Consultant at Positive Technologies.
