The global landscape of cyber threats is evolving at an unprecedented pace, with the MENA region projected to witness the highest growth rate in cybersecurity across all sectors, soaring by 24% year-over-year.

 

Egypt has established itself as a significant player in this domain, recently ranked 9th in cybersecurity capabilities by the Global Cybersecurity Index (GCI), which is informed by the ITU Global Cybersecurity Agenda (GCA). The Egyptian government, with a strong emphasis on Cairo as the epicenter of digital activities, is prioritizing robust cybersecurity measures. The Egyptian Supreme Cybersecurity Council (ESCC), operating under the auspices of the Egyptian Cabinet, has crafted the National Cybersecurity Strategy for 2023-2027. This comprehensive strategy is primarily designed to combat escalating cyber threats from diverse sources while fostering the development of skilled professionals and fortifying the domestic cybersecurity industry, ultimately aiming to make a substantial contribution to Egypt's GDP.

 

In light of this critical focus, we are proud to announce the DigiDefence Summit Egypt, scheduled for December 9 -10, 2024, in Cairo. This summit will serve as a pivotal platform for exploring and showcasing innovative cybersecurity strategies. Attendees will engage in knowledge sharing, highlighting best practices, and participating in dynamic discussions on essential topics such as the impacts of global cyber threats, governmental and policy initiatives, Zero Trust security, quantum cryptography, blockchain applications in cybersecurity, and cyber capacity building. Join us at this important event as we collectively navigate and address the challenges of the evolving cyber landscape.
