Accelerating the Evolution of Security: Reframe and Simplify

The continuing success of digitization initiatives and ever-expanding digital footprint among the countries of the Middle East brings with it an added and growing exposure to the risk of cyber-attacks. These attacks and increasingly sophisticated criminal rings from around the world can derail the progress of digitization and threaten the benefits delivered through it.

Join Gartner experts and your peers at Gartner Security & Risk Management Summit and gain valuable insights into key strategic imperatives, such as establishing an agile security program; fostering a human-centric, security-conscious culture; devolving risk ownership; and establishing a new simplified cybersecurity mesh architecture. It will enable you to safeguard your organization, defend against your attackers and deliver business value.

    Track A

    Cybersecurity Leadership

    Spanning the cycle from developers to customers, today’s leaders face a wide, diverse array of both risks and ways to manage, mitigate and respond to them. Sessions in this track provide practical, real-world guidance on achieving a more secure software development life cycle and data management program.

    Track D

    Cyber and IT Risk

    Owing to new challenges and lack of agility in program management, cybersecurity leaders struggle to mature their cyber and IT risk management practices beyond conducting assessments. This track highlights the latest trends and tools to help you improve automation and models.
