Carbon Black announced its participation at this year’s GISEC to be held at the Dubai World Trade Centre from April 1 to 3. The company fielding at the event for the fifth consecutive time to launch its third Global Incident Response Threat Report. Aggregating qualitative and quantitative input from 40 Carbon Black IR partners, this report aims to offer actionable intelligence for business and technology leaders, fuelled by analysis of the newest threats and expert insights on how to stop them.
In addition to launching the report and discussing its implications for local businesses, Rick McElroy, Head of Security Strategy at Carbon Black will also demonstrate his extensive cybersecurity expertise at several speaking engagements at the conference.
On April 1 at 12.30pm, he will host a session titled ‘Flipping the Cyberdefense Equation to Tip the Scales Back in Our Favour’, on the main stage. In this talk he will reveal the reality behind the modern threat landscape and uncover what security teams can do to tip these scales and make attacking their organisation exponentially more difficult.
Right after that session at 2pm on April 1, Rick McElroy will host an incident response deep dive session with select CISOs and executives. During this session he will advise on best practice to cut adversary dwell time in the environment, enabling organisations to reduce the impact of incidents and improve response processes.
McElroy said “There are growing concerns around advanced threats across the Middle East and companies in the region are keen to build and maintain strong change management and quality assurance practices to combat cybercriminals.
“During GISEC 2019 I’m particularly looking forward to launching our new research which addresses the growing global threat landscape and also addressing ways in which organisations can redress the balance.”
Jonathan Kane, EMEA Channel Director at Carbon Black, said “We have somewhere between 130 to 150 customers in the region who we are helping to build and maintain the strong cybersecurity practices needed to avert the advanced threats posed by cybercriminals across the Middle East. Through this ecosystem we are well aware of just how prominent the channel is in this region and are looking forward to updating everybody on the great strides we have made in this space over the past year.”
Carbon Black will be available during the GISEC 2019 at stand B-12.
