De Bacci Noble Family Attends GISEC Global 2024

De Bacci Noble Family attended GISEC Global 2024, the Middle East and Africa’s largest and most impactful cyber security event, hosted by the UAE Cybersecurity Council at the Dubai World Trade Centre.

Government of Dubai Media Office reports: “The event was opened by His Highness Sheikh Mansoor bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Chairman of the Dubai Ports and Borders Security Council.

Running for three days, GISEC Global’s 13th edition featured more than 750 exhibiting brands – a 50 percent increase over the previous year – as more than 20,000 cyber professionals from 130-plus countries gathered to combat digital threats in a Gulf Cooperation Council cybersecurity market that, according to analysts Frost & Sullivan, will triple in value by 2030 to reach $13.4 billion.

The event featured returning headline players and tech titans Huawei, Honeywell, du, Microsoft, and Google Cloud Security, alongside groundbreaking cybersecurity companies such as Spire Solutions, Pentera, Cloudflare, and Kaspersky.

More than 350 expert speakers and Chief Information Security Officers (CISOs), alongside 1,000-plus ethical hackers, also convened under the show’s ‘AI-driven cyber-resilience’ theme to detangle and demystify the rising global threats of the dark cybercriminal underworld, as they delivered 300-plus hours of immersive content across nine conference and workshop stages.”

Countessina Anna De Bacci held a mentorship session at the GISEC Investors Lounge: “From Pitch to Partnership: The Secret to Building Relationships with Investors”.

The evolution of cybersecurity continues to present new challenges and opportunities for industry leaders around the world. The UAE Cybersecurity Council aims to create a safe and trusted cyber environment that helps organisations, institutions, and individuals achieve their potential.
Such results are amplified at GISEC Global, which acts as a super-connector bridging the industry gap, encouraging thought-provoking discussions, and promoting forward-thinking collaborations critical to the future of digital services and assets. 
In light of latest developments in AI technology, GISEC Global 2024 serves as a pivotal platform in our relentless mission to forge and advocate for a cyber-resilient society grounded in the partnerships between the private and public sectors and aiming to cultivate a bold ecosystem that safeguards the integrity of companies and individuals.

His Excellency Dr. Mohamed Al-Kuwaiti, Head of the UAE Cybersecurity Council

Countess Elena De Bacci and Countessina Anna De Bacci were invited to join the Jury at the Unlock Pitch Competition at the GISEC Cyber Stars. Over 100 flourishing cybersecurity startups from 25+ countries had a chance to step into the spotlight and showcase their bold ideas to a global audience of industry leaders and investors, including De Bacci Capital.

Showing its appreciation for the most prominent and visionary players in the Middle East and Africa’s cybersecurity industry, GISEC Global 2024 saw the launch of the inaugural GISEC Cyber Excellence Awards in partnership with the UAE Cybersecurity Council and the United Cybersecurity Alliance.

It was inspiring to see so many great projects that were created with the aim to enhance the level of cyber safety in our society, amid the new era of cyber-threats.
I was especially glad to see how these ventures will benefit schools, universities and other educational organizations, by safeguarding students from the vice of the cyber crimes.
Children are the most vulnerable members of our society and they need to be protected at all times, including when they are on their phones or computers. This is when they need our protection the most, as cyber crimes can happen quietly any minute, even with an adult present in the room. We must take this issue very seriously.
On behalf of De Bacci Family Protection Foundation, I extend our gratitude to the rulers of the United Arab Emirates for taking the lead in this global mission of crucial importance – providing safety for the next generations in the cyber space.
May God Bless the organizers and all participants of GISEC Global, and the beautiful country of the UAE.”
