The Chairman of the UAE Cybersecurity Council revealed that the country has successfully neutralized millions of cyber threats this year, with AI being a "game-changer".
Speaking on GITEX Tech Waves Podcast, Dr. Mohammed Hamad Al-Kuwaiti said that the UAE faced 71 million attacks in the first quarter of 2024, but showed resilience, using Artificial Intelligence for early threat detection.
He highlighted the technology’s benefits and praised the UAE's strong global partnerships in enhancing cybersecurity efforts.
Cybersecurity is a key focus at GITEX Global with discussions centered on evolving threats as well as opportunities to ramp up defence lines.
With global cybercrime damage projected to reach $10.5 trillion annually by 2025, the international tech community is determined to ignite a paradigm shift through reinvigorated determination.
This approach is on full display at GITEX Global, which features keynote speeches, fireside chats and panel discussions on the urgent challenges, emerging threats and innovative opportunities facing individuals, enterprises, industries and nations worldwide.
