Sonal ChhibberThe GCC Security Symposium is back for its 7th year, and it’s bigger than ever!
In 2023, the Symposium will visit three GCC countries: the UAE, Saudi Arabia, and Qatar, gathering over 400+ leading security decision-makers. When it comes to cyber security, we all have a role to play: attackers are increasingly circumventing technical controls and targeting account holders who inadvertently ‘open the door’ to attackers.
Aside from the overarching theme of ‘Sec rity is not complete without ‘U,’ the symposium will take a closer look at how leaders in BCM and Risk management are assisting companies in developing a strong business case for business continuity and crisis risk management. The conference will also bring together top leaders in crisis management, disaster recovery, cybersecurity, and business resilience.
The symposium provides an excellent opportunity to gain exceptional knowledge on how an agile BCM plan will increase your organization’s flexibility and agility. The event will include a powerful lineup of keynotes, presentations, workshops, and panel discussions, as well as an exhibition of top providers in the business continuity and resilience industry.
