On the occasion, Dr. Abdulla bin Nasser Al-Noaimi, NAIRDC Executive Director, said that cybersecurity is one of NAIRDC’s most important priorities.
He stressed the importance of strengthening the foundations of development and technological progress with a digital security system enhanced by artificial intelligence techniques through the development of cyberthreat detection systems that can detect unusual and suspicious activities faster and more accurately, as well as discover and predict threat patterns, and integrate the two fields to ensure digital safety and sustainability, on the one hand, and enable organisations to develop security strategies that allow them to combat future threats more effectively, on the other.
“We are proud to be one of the official partners of this important forum that brings together the leaders of the technology system in the region and provides the opportunity to invest in cybersecurity and the development of digital systems and infrastructure,” he said.
