The AI Edge in Cyber Defense

7th - 8th of September, 2025

Dr. Bahaa Hasan, the esteemed Chairman & Founder of the Arab Security Conference, recognizes the unprecedented challenges that 2025 is bringing to the world of cybersecurity. With cyber wars now as destructive as civil wars, and the rapid pace of digital transformation demanding ever more flexible management strategies, businesses are struggling to keep up. The rise of remote work and the need to bridge private and public cloud environments have extended the responsibilities of information security teams, often leading to high-profile security lapses. Gartner has predicted that 60% of digital businesses will suffer major service failures by 2024 due to the inability of security teams to manage digital risk effectively.
