About the Session
Critical infrastructure sectors—energy, finance, telecom, healthcare, and government—face an increasing wave of cyberattacks across the Middle East and Africa. With regional regulations evolving and threat actors growing more sophisticated, the need for resilient, sector-specific cyber strategies has never been greater.
This virtual roundtable gathers senior leaders from legal, cybersecurity, GRC, and risk domains to address:
-
How are critical industries in the MEA region building cyber resilience beyond compliance?
-
What frameworks are being used to manage threats across OT, IT, and supply chains?
-
How do legal and cybersecurity leaders coordinate during breaches and enforcement?
-
What sector-specific playbooks, regulations, and tools are proving most effective?
Expect real-world case studies, live benchmarking, and practical solutions — not just policy discussion.
All attendees will receive the session recording and toolkit via GC360Flix.
