Speaker:
Bilal Baig
Technical Director - MENA, Trend Micro

In the opening keynote, we will highlight the pace at which digital transformation in MENA has accelerated across industries over the past year, and in relevance to that how the threat landscape has evolved. The pandemic has no doubt triggered the DX journeys of organizations in the region, but as they adapt and evolve to embrace new technologies from cloud to AI to IoT, so are the attackers getting smarter every day. As such the digital threat environment looks complexed and needs a robust approach to security.

Keynote:

Best Practices for ICS and OT Security

Speaker:
Andre Fernandes
Senior Sales Engineer, Trend Micro

This era of digital transformation finds work sites all over the world caught up in adapting to new technologies, such as predictive maintenance, autonomous mobile robots, and digital twins of production lines and products. With 60% of factories already relying on the cloud and 26% on Private 5G, this enhanced connectivity is empowering assets with new functionality and increased convenience, but in the 61% of factories that have experienced cyber incidents, those benefits are likely to have been leveraged by attackers as well. As soon as any technology is introduced to a worksite, the attackers immediately get to work developing ways to exploit it for maximum disruption as quickly as possible. In this presentation, you will get a look at what kinds of attacks bad actors will attempt over which kinds of OT/ICS Environments, the potential damage that can result, and up-to-date recommendations on how to provide reliable security.
