About the Event
The Cyber Security Forum and Expo is organised by the BIBF and considered as the first annual national event dedicated to Cyber Security. The event will run for three days starting from 16th of May until 18th of May 2017.
By collaborating with international leading experts, this initiative aims to bring in the best international professionals in the field of Cyber Security in order to provide interactive learning workshops and training sessions in addition to exhibiting the latest relevant technological trends.
Why Cyber Security?
Having the right Cyber Security controls in place is now a priority for many organisations in order to protect their most valuable assets “i.e. their data and information”. Accordingly, there is a critical need to be equipped with the
latest knowledge and trends to learn the know-how of managing Cyber Security risks and defeating cyber threats. The BIBF introduces the Cyber Security Forum and Expo to ensure that human capital is capable of taking precautions to avoid cyber-attacks within organisations in all sectors.
