What will make GITEX Technology Week 2022 an important event to attend this year?
It’s an exciting time in Dubai as the region recovers post-COVID-19, with the UAE economy expanding strongly. Organisations are looking to invest in technology that will help them capitalise on opportunities and deliver increased functionality.
However, against this backdrop we’ve also seen a dramatic uptick in ransomware attacks, nation-state-sponsored threats and a flood of new vulnerabilities that leave organisations exposed. From a security perspective, security teams need to be able to anticipate and defend against emerging threats and cyberattacks, while communicating those risks for decision support. We’re looking forward to the opportunity to help visitors to GITEX better understand and defend the modern attack surface.
What are the reasons your company is exhibiting at GITEX and what do you aim to achieve at the show?
At Tenable, we always look for opportunities to meet new and existing customers and partners while also networking with our peers. GITEX provides the perfect opportunity to do just that. We will be co-exhibiting with our partners, AmiViz from booth H1-A1 and Ingram Micro from booth H3-D30booth, with the team offering technical demonstrations of our continuous exposure management platform, including Tenable.io, Tenable.sc, Tenable.ot, Tenable.ad and Tenable Lumin.
What will be your key message at this year’s show?
A reactive firefighting approach to cybersecurity puts defenders at a major disadvantage. Instead, security executives and practitioners need to be able to translate technical asset, vulnerability and threat data into clear business insights and actionable intelligence to make better decisions and ultimately prevent attacks.
