About the Event

Security is never an aftermath. The role of CISOs in the perimeters of a smart enterprise has been evolving. Bridging security gaps in a digital enterprise is on the top priority of any decision maker, as emerging technologies like AI, machine learning, Blockchain and Fintech rule the roost.

The GEC Security Symposium 2018, a brand new presentation of Cyber Sentinels, explores the true meaning of what end-to-end security means in a digital enterprise. The symposium will include security keynotes, demonstrations, exhibitions and expert panels on the trends and niche offerings in modern security.

A one-stop-shop forum for latest security insights, solutions and CISO networking, the GEC Security Symposium is your new go-to-event showcase, learn or share about Security that matters.

What is New

GECSS is not just any other security event that runs presentations after presentations and exhibitors are limited to their booths waiting for attendees to pass by. With special networking sessions for all the exhibitors and partners (further details in the partnership and exhibition packages), the symposium makes sure that the attendees and the partners can make the maximum out of the networking opportunities presented.

Focused Roundtables:

Selected exhibitors/partners will be entitled to a focused roundtable of 10 to 15 CISOs that will cover end-to-end security topics that includes cyber security, cloud security, networking security, email security, document security, firewalls and emerging IOT security.

Expert Training and Workshops:

Selected exhibitors/partners will get an opportunity to run an expert training/certification workshop for a selected list of security officers/personnel. An ideal opportunity to showcase your solutions to a focused group of attendees.

Country-specific Sessions:

There is no one-security-fits-all when it comes to the different countries of GCC— we understand this. Witness the coming together of leading security minds from the government and private sectors in the region as they present their security infrastructure.
