World Cyber Security Summit 2022

SPEARHEADING THE SECURITY INFRASTRUCTURE IN DIGITIZED QATAR

CIOs, CISOs, CSOs, VPs, Directors, and Heads of IT are convening virtually to discuss the latest strategies and tech trends to build a cyber-resilient MENA.

WHAT IS WORLD CYBER SECURITY SUMMIT?

World Cyber Security Summit is a thought-leadership driven, business-focused initiative that provides a platform for CISOs who are looking to explore new-age threats and the technologies/strategies to mitigate them.

The show is virtually hosting CISOs across industry sectors from Qatar who will meet, network, learn and engage with some of the world’s renowned technology thought-leaders, subject matter experts, and technology innovators in a constructive, open-dialogue environment to find solutions for issues hindering their information/cyber security.

WHY QATAR?

The cyber security market size in Qatar was estimated at US $1,016.7 million in 2022, and is expected to grow by 12.7% annually to reach US $1,642.3 million in 2026
Experts predict Phishing and Social Engineering will be used to steal personal and financial information that criminals can monetize. Ticketing, hotel bookings, and reservations of any kind can be faked and used to capture personal data and compromise individuals. Cybercriminals will recognize the work that Qatar has done to be prepared for the tournament and will focus on exploiting human nature before arrival, rather than digital infrastructure.

Few hackers can run through DDOS attacks on a large scale to disrupt enterprises that extensively rely on the internet. According to some reports, the Qatar government believes online crime syndicates could target unsuspecting FIFA fans with more than 400 fraud scams before the World Cup’s opening ceremony.

Industry experts recommend a multi-layered approach to protect all fronts and prevent users from accessing malicious domains.
