DOHA: Qatar’s most influential IT security decision-makers will congregate at the Marriott Marquis City Center in Doha on April 13, 2015 for the IDC IT Security Roadshow 2015 to discuss the country’s cyber threat landscape.
The region is becoming increasingly volatile, not just in terms of regular malware, but also due to hacktivist incidents, advanced persistent threats, and even cyber warfare. Adding to this complexity are the technologies of cloud, big data, mobile and social business that create issues relating to IT management, skills and implementation.
Megha Kumar, senior research manager for software at IDC Middle East, Africa, and Turkey, noted: “Companies in Qatar need to evaluate existing IT security investments while trying to rationalise costs, protect assets, and deploy new solutions. They must address how they can sustain security as a business enabler while simultaneously ensuring they remain secure.”
