CDIS 2023 was a three day cybersecurity and data intelligence systems conference and exhibition that shed light on the status quo and future of cybersecurity in Egypt, MENA and worldwide and had international, regional and local speakers discuss and share their knowledge and expertise.

We were on ground showcasing how to build a secure digital society, how to utilise data intelligence to its full potential and what to do when a cybersecurity crisis hits and how to truly capture the benefits of digital transformation.

We also launched a paper ‘Leveraging digital intelligence to foster the management of convergent national security, public safety and cyber security’ which can be downloaded here.
