Building a Breach Ready, Secure and Agile Digital Business

Cyber Management Alliance hosted yet another successful edition of its Wisdom of Crowds Cybersecurity Networking Event, on Sunday, April 28, 2019 at the iconic Burj Al Arab in Dubai. This exclusive and interactive gathering brought together an elite network of IT and security leaders and decision-makers in the UAE focused on building a breach-ready, secure, and agile digital business.

Key Highlights from the Cybersecurity Networking Event in Dubai

Here's what attendees said were the key highlights of the day for them: 

1. Collaborative Learning at Its Best

The event’s interactive sessions, including the signature brainstorming activity, stood out as a favourite. Led by industry doyen and the CEO of Cyber Management Alliance,  Amar Singh, these collaborative learning exercises are a hallmark of our CISO Networking Events. 

Participants formed groups to create mind maps and actionable checklists. These collaborative sessions fostered a dynamic learning environment, enabling attendees to exchange valuable experiences and insights.

2. Insightful Presentations and Expert-Led Panel Discussions

The event featured a lineup of diverse speakers addressing the most pressing cybersecurity challenges:

  • Amar Singh, Co-founder of Cyber Management Alliance, offered actionable strategies to combat cybercriminals, emphasizing the urgency of adapting to evolving threats.
  • Rob Demain of E2E Assure UK challenged the traditional “protect, protect, protect” mindset, advocating for intelligent detection and response as the future of cybersecurity. 
  • An expert from Kaspersky Lab provided critical insights into the latest global cyber threats, particularly those targeting the Middle East.

The "Grill the Panel" session was a standout, providing attendees with a chance to ask burning questions and get expert advice in real time.

3. Exclusive Networking Opportunities

Attendees enjoyed multiple networking sessions, including a coffee break, drinks at the Scape Bar on the Burj Al Arab Terrace, and a gourmet dinner at the Naya Restaurant. These moments allowed professionals to connect with industry leaders and peers, forging relationships that can drive future collaboration.
