Artificial Intelligence The Ultimate Weapon in the War
Artificial Intelligence The Ultimate Weapon in the War against Cyber Criminals
For a legion of cybersecurity experts from across the globe, CISO MAG hosted a Fireside Chat with Dr. Erdal Ozkaya on the topic, “AI: The Ultimate Weapon in the War against Cyber Criminals.” Dr. Ozkaya is a an award-winning CISO of a regional bank. The Fire Chat was moderated by Brian Pereira, Principal Editor of CISO MAG, who interviewed Dr Erdal. It was held on April 21, 2020.
Dr. Ozkaya started the webinar by talking about the inception of cloud, how people were aversive towards it initially and eventually how cloud became a staple for organizations; and compared it to AI. He mentioned the aversiveness toward adoption of AI among organizations right now.
Dr. Ozkaya stressed how adoption of AI will be similar to the adoption of cloud. He also spoke elaborately on the profound impact AI will have in the future where human and machine intelligence complement each other, and how AI should not simply be seen as a substitute. He discussed the scope of AI and the future of security as the sheer volume of threats is becoming very difficult to track by humans alone.
Commenting on the roles of the CISO, he is of the opinion that CISOs need to invest in tools and methodologies that enable their organizations to be more efficient and secure. According to him, automation, orchestration, machine learning, and artificial intelligence can enable machines to take over the repetitive grunt work currently done by security personnel. He also addressed several pressing issues surrounding the adoption of AI, including scenarios like job loss and even bot wars — AI becoming self-aware.
Dr. Ozkaya also took questions from the audience on topics like “How will AI disrupt cybersecurity and help the industry fight the battle against cybercriminals in the future?”. Hackers are using AI too. In what way? How should we respond?

Cloud Security Architecture
Cloud Security Architecture
By Guest Author : Ahmed Nabil
Nowadays everyone is talking about the cloud and the benefits of moving your environment, infrastructure, platforms to the cloud which is true from my point of view. Take the current pandemic situation of Corona virus and the mandate of remote working or working from home model. Now imagine the ease of this model if your environment is on the cloud or your are leveraging tools and technologies running on the cloud allowing you to connect from anywhere to work and deliver as if you are in your traditional office.
COVID19 and Cyber Risk – Fight against cybercrime
COVID19 and Cyber Risk
The current circumstance of COVID-19 can increase organizations vulnerability to cyber-attacks, phishing attempts and fraud. All organizations required to exercise caution in that respect to continue functioning normally and efficiently.

E-Crime and Cybersecurity Congress in Dubai (12th- join us Free )
E-Crime and Cybersecurity Congress in Dubai 10th March 2020
Securing citizens and stakeholders:
Governments and corporations must provide next-generation service with security built in
Technology is radically changing the expectations of consumers and citizens.
In Dubai, the government has stated explicitly that traditional processes need to be continuously updated to ensure efficiency and speed in Government to Consumer (G2C) and Government to Government (G2G) services. As they put it:
“Leveraging emerging technologies such as Blockchain, Artificial Intelligence, along with harnessing Data Science capabilities, we are recreating everyday experiences for residents and visitors of Dubai, making them more personalized, seamless, efficient and impactful.”
But this level of digitalisation needs to be cyber secure.
Governments and their agencies must build security into their new technologies.
Citizens must be kept safe from a wide range of hostile threat actors and unlike other regions across the globe, where monetizable data is the main target for cyber attackers, the Middle East is witnessing a surge in political and strategic hacking. Given the prevalence of state-directed attacks, it is states who are best-placed to defend their populations.
At the same time, the private sector must also redouble its efforts and invest in cloud security and data security as major cloud service providers set up in the region and business pivots to a Cloud-first strategy.
On top of this, the Data Protection Law (DPL) implemented in Bahrain in April 2019, and the likelihood that the UAE will also enact strict data privacy rules by the end of 2020, are forcing MENA organisations to rethink their data security framework.
As a result, MENA enterprise information security and risk management spending will total US$1.7 billion by 2020, an increase of 10.7% from 2019, according to a recent forecast by Gartner.
The 12th e-Crime & Cybersecurity Congress in Dubai will look at the latest in the processes and technologies used to protect data, identity and digital transformation. There will be real-life case studies, strategic talks and technical break-out sessions from the security and privacy teams behind some of the world’s most admired brands, who know, just like you, that security is now more important to business than ever.
