Egypt hosted one of the region’s premier cyber security conferences in September 2019 under the banner, “Cybersecurity in the Age of Digital Transformation.”
The Arab Cyber Security Conference in Cairo is an annual event initiated in 2017 aimed at keeping individuals, governmental agencies, nongovernmental organizations and private enterprises up to date with the latest security solutions and challenges.
It also raises security awareness through technical discussions and brings together security professionals and organizations from across the Middle East and beyond to work jointly and exchange expertise.
Information security officers attended from Australia, Bahrain, Germany, India, Jordan, Kuwait, Morocco, Oman, Saudi Arabia, the United Kingdom and the United States.
In parallel with improvements in counterterrorism, the Egyptian government is paying closer attention to cyber security, recognizing the growing importance of protecting computer systems from attack by terrorists and other criminals.
To that end, Egypt has held national and international seminars and conferences and has established bodies and institutions aimed at regulating communications and fighting cyber crime.
