About
Event Overview
Summit 2024

New ransom ware groups are emerging every day. In the first half of 2022, Black Basta was the most notable. Even though SMBs are a more popular target, many threat actors tend to go for large corporations. Vulnerability exploitation is a common ransom ware attack vector. Unpatched vulnerabilities contribute to a growing digital attack surface that many organisations are struggling to secure as hybrid workplaces expand their IT environment.

One Report suggests that Oman blocked a total of over 3.6 million Malware, Email and Smart Home Networks attacks from hackers and threats to target or control home devices from executing malware, obtaining sensitive information, intercepting communications, or launching external attacks.

MFA, Access Management, Network security, Cloud Migration Strategy, Cloud Security, Training & Security Policies and Threat intelligence and going beyond legacy systems to improve security will be the defining factors in the cyber security practices.

Join us on 17th Sep 2024 in Muscat Oman at the 16th Edition of CYBERX GLOBAL SERIES and 2nd Annual Cyberx Summit & Awards, Oman Edition to learn from industry leaders and innovators for a proactive cyber resilience journey.
