Securing the Vision: An Executive Roundtable on AI-Powered Security for UAE Enterprises

  30th September  |   Sofitel Downtown Dubai

As the UAE continues its ambitious journey of digital transformation and economic diversification, securing its digital landscape becomes paramount. Email remains the primary (but not only) entry point for increasingly sophisticated and AI-powered attacks, posing significant risks to the nation’s enterprises, its smart city initiatives, and its vibrant economy.

This exclusive executive roundtable, hosted in Dubai, brings together senior security leaders from leading UAE companies. We will collectively explore the strategic imperative of AI-powered security in defending against the advanced threats targeting our region – from highly tailored phishing campaigns to complex Business Email Compromise (BEC) schemes and nation-state backed cyber challenges.

Join us to delve into how a truly human-centric security approach, amplified by cutting-edge AI, not only fortifies your organization’s defences but also empowers your teams, reduces escalating risk, and safeguards your vital digital assets. This is an opportunity to share unique insights from the UAE’s dynamic environment, learn from peers, and collaboratively shape the future of robust email security that protects and enables the nation’s vision for growth and prosperity.

Inside the Front Lines: Sharing Experiences with the Evolving AI-Powered Threats Hitting Our Region

The email threat landscape is constantly shifting, with sophisticated, AI-powered attacks increasingly targeting human vulnerabilities. This session is an opportunity for us to share and discuss the specific, cutting-edge email threats we’ve encountered recently in our region—from highly convincing deepfakes and advanced Business Email Compromise (BEC) to cunning reply-chain attacks and multi-stage social engineering campaigns. We’ll explore how these adaptive threats bypass traditional defences and collectively examine how a human-centric security approach, powered by advanced AI, is essential to transform our employees into a resilient line of defense. Let’s discuss what’s hitting us and how we can best respond.

From Reactive to Predictive: Architecting an AI-Driven Human-Centric Security Strategy to Quantify and Reduce Organizational Risk

In a world where email remains the top vector for cyber breaches, understanding and quantifying risk is paramount. This discussion will delve into how AI-powered email security solutions move beyond reactive threat blocking to provide predictive insights and actionable intelligence. We will explore how AI analyses vast datasets, identifies subtle anomalies, and even anticipates emerging attack patterns, allowing organizations to proactively mitigate risks. The session will focus on practical applications of AI in reducing the attack surface, improving incident response times, and ultimately demonstrating a tangible return on investment by transforming email security from a cost center into a strategic risk reduction asset.

The Collaborative Advantage: Empowering Your Security Team with AI for Seamless, Adaptive Human-Centric Defence

Security teams today face immense pressure from the sheer volume and complexity of cyber threats. This topic will focus on how AI in email security acts as a force multiplier, significantly augmenting the capabilities of your existing security teams. We will discuss how AI automates tedious tasks, prioritizes critical alerts, and provides clear, contextual insights, freeing up your experts to focus on strategic initiatives and complex threat hunting. The conversation will highlight how an intelligent, adaptive email security partner empowers your team to work more efficiently and effectively, fostering a truly collaborative defence that is both robust and scalable.
