teams are uniquely positioned to drive
tremendous opportunities for the business, if
they are brought into the heart of the digital
business and given the appropriate tools to
properly view and analyse data.
From IoT, to the cloud, to Machine Learning
and automation, security and risk programmes
can be leveraged to reshape businesses in the
Middle East, while overcoming the existing
barriers to ensure safety and efficiency.

WE’RE TALKING ABOUT
POTENTIAL PHYSICAL DAMAGE AS
WELL AS DIGITAL DATA BREACHES.
2019 and beyond
Middle East governments, and those mainly
in the Gulf Corporation Council (GCC), are
pioneering the adoption of new technologies.
In addition to IoT and others, consider
the use case of Blockchain as the main
technology to provide their future services.
There are also strong regional aspirations
for governments to become the main hubs
for cryptocurrency.
This pioneering attitude is amazing to
witness and to be part of, but as with any
technology in its infancy in the enterprise
use cases, the risks are high if holistic security
is not well considered as that would expand
exposure during the initial stages of this
technology’s delivery.
In today’s digital world, the nature
of security and risk landscape are
constantly changing.
However, if cybersecurity and digital risk
management are brought into the fold,
effectively managed and embedded at the
heart of these innovations, we will see a
world of new possibilities. n
