The two-day
summit, being held for the first time in Jordan, includes multiple workshops
and panel discussions. It brings together more than 200 participants from
several Arab and foreign countries.
It targets institutions specialized in enacting
legislation that serve cyber activities and aims to network between information
systems and security experts with important companies in this sector, in
addition to networking between the public and private sectors.
The gathering revolves around informing participants
of the latest methods and techniques of information protection, especially
because technology has become an important part in all sectors and is not
limited to a specific sector.
Cyber security experts spoke about the most
significant gaps and loopholes users face through social networking sites, and
the most important techniques and methodologies used by international companies
to protect data.
On the fringes of the summit, several agreements
were concluded between leading companies in cyber security and the Jordan Cyber
security Awareness Association (JOCSA).
According to the executive director at
Talal Abu-Ghazaleh Knowledge Forum, Fadi Al-Daoud, an important agreement was signed
between JOCSA and TAG Knowledge Forum.
“The agreement aims to educate and train young
people in cybersecurity, and to reach the largest possible number of young
people in order to empower them and increase their awareness and skills in this
important field,” Daoud told
Jordan News.
“There is no doubt that any event that highlights
cyber security is a very important event, especially in light of the efforts
made by this summit in networking between emerging and large companies and
workers in the sector to exchange experiences and even market the services and
products provided in this field,” he said.
Mohammad Al-Thneibat, a maintenance and sales
engineer at the Arab Tech Surveillance & Security, told
Jordan News that the summit “allowed us to display the modern surveillance cameras that we
supply to many institutions, factories and schools.”
He stressed the importance of keeping pace with
developments in the field of cybersecurity and data protection. “We seek to
provide our clients the best technologies, especially as technology has become
an important part of our lives and has become an essential part in all
sectors,” he noted.
The summit’s agenda said that at the conclusion of
meetings, there will be important and fruitful outputs and recommendations in
the field of cybersecurity.
