HOW IS THE ROLE OF CISO/CIO EVOLVING WITH THE THREAT LANDSCAPE GETTING TRICKIER DAY BY DAY?In many ways DarkMatter believes the role of CISO/CIO is becoming easier as its importance across an entire organisation is becoming better understood. The IT depart-ment, and specifically, the area of the business dealing with cyber security can no longer be considered just a back-office function.

WHICH TREND DO YOU FORECAST FOR THE REGIONS SECURITY LANDSCAPE IN THE DAYS TO COME?We believe there will always be parties motivated to undertake cyber attacks. At DarkMatter, we advise companies to adopt an outlook on cyber security in which they assume breach, and establish the necessary protocols and defences to counter.

ORGANIZATIONS PRIME SECURITY RESOLUTION IN SENTENCE. Always have a contingency plan for every possible threat scenario.

HOW IS THE ROLE OF CISO/CIO EVOLVING WITH THE THREAT LANDSCAPE GETTING TRICKIER DAY BY DAY?CISOs/CIOs will become increasingly important in companies hierarchies as CEOs and board members face increasing internal and external security risks that could ruin customers trust and business forecasts. Security and risk management are the biggest challenges for businesses adopting mobile technologies, the cloud and the Internet of Things, according to multiple surveys.

WHICH TREND DO YOU FORECAST FOR THE REGIONS SECURITY LANDSCAPE IN THE DAYS TO COME?Security is usually difficult and useless to predict in a span of days, as security is a strategic development direction with an impact that can span over years. We are currently rolling out new technologies (such as the Hypervisor-based memory introspection) to fend off threats that will focus on virtualized environments.

HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN PARTICIPATING IN GISEC AND WHAT IS YOUR GISEC 2016 AGENDA?This is our second year when we are joining the GISEC event. This year, our main focus is on bridging the gap between Bitdefender as a company and the local distributors or dealers.

Cyber security must be multi-dimensional and tiered, as threats can originate from virtually anywhere and sometimes persist for months or years before the organization is aware of an attack or breach. ADAM PHILPOTTCISCO DIRECTOR, EMEAR CYBER SECURITY

HOW IS THE ROLE OF CISO/CIO EVOLVING WITH THE THREAT LANDSCAPE GETTING TRICKIER DAY BY DAY?As the threat landscape broadens and deepens, the role of CIOs has become stra-tegic in nature now versus a more tactical approach a couple of years ago.

WHICH TREND DO YOU FORECAST FOR THE REGIONS SECURITY LANDSCAPE IN THE DAYS TO COME?As networks continue to grow and expand, new devices and applications with widely varying security postures are constantly connected. In the past there was a disconnect between business and IT. However, with so many cyber attacks and security breaches taking place so frequently, CEOs are now forced to take cyber security very seriously, where it has become one of the most important aspects of their business where it is now considered a boardroom issue and not just a technology concern.

HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN PARTICIPATING IN GISEC AND WHAT IS YOUR GISEC 2016 AGENDA?At GISEC 2016, Cisco will demonstrate and showcase how its products and solu-tions can support its customers safely and securely through digital transformation and how they can weave in the security techniques and deployment as part of it. Over the last three years that Cisco has participated at GISEC, the event has grown from strength to strength.

HOW DO YOU PERCEIVE THE CURRENT THREAT AND SECURITY LAND-SCAPE OF THE REGION?According to the Cisco Annual Security Report, 60% of data is stolen in hours. 54% of all attacks are not detected for months or even years and, if discovered, it may take several weeks before full containment and remediation are achieved. During that time, sensitive customer information and intellectual property is compromised, put-ting the companys reputation, resources, and intellectual property at risk.

WHAT ARE THE VARIOUS SOLUTIONS THAT YOU GO TO MARKET WITH?Cisco has an extensive security portfo-lio which includes solutions for Access Control and Policy, Advanced Malware Protection, Email Security, Firewalls, Network Security, Next Generation Intru-sion Prevention System (NGIPS), Security Management, VPN and Endpoint Security Clients and Web Security.

seamless security infrastructure for SMB, enterprises and carriers.

HOW IS THE ROLE OF CISO/CIO EVOLVING WITH THE THREAT LANDSCAPE GETTING TRICKIER DAY BY DAY?The role of a CISO/ CIO is getting increas-ingly complex by the day. His role not only involves selecting, vetting and deploying the best security solutions for his organiza-tion, but also requires him to look into the financial implications and ROI.

WHICH TREND DO YOU FORECAST FOR THE REGIONS SECURITY LANDSCAPE IN THE DAYS TO COME?The Internet of Things continues to grow, as vendors add connectivity to more and more everyday objects. The number of attacks on mobile devices is expected to continue to rise, as the number and per-formance of devices increases. The quality of information (identity and positional for example) makes it a good target for identity theft, and the connectivity options (inter-net, voice, SMS) provide many options for the cyber- criminal to monetize the attack.

HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN PARTICIPATING IN GISEC AND WHAT IS YOUR GISEC 2016 AGENDA?Fortinet has been participation at GISEC for the last 3 years. Our theme at GISEC 2016 is Security without compromise, where we will highlight the changing nature of networks, and the subsequent increase in potential attack vectors. We will also present advice on what businesses should pay attention to while deploying security strategies.

HOW DO YOU PERCEIVE THE CURRENT THREAT AND SECURITY LAND-SCAPE OF THE REGION?The attacks and threats in the region arent limited to one segment, businesses of dif-ferent sizes, serving different verticals, have all been targeted. For this reason, vendors such as Fortinet have invested in terms of on-ground staff and partners.

WHAT ARE THE VARIOUS SOLUTIONS THAT YOU GO TO MARKET WITH?Our solutions cater to every possible indus-try vertical, enterprises, SMBs and service providers. From wired/wireless networks and messaging systems to web applica-tions, databases and much more, Fortinets solutions portfolio helps secure the broad enterprise information infrastructure, allowing customers to ensure security and control of their networks, users and data.

Uniting the Good Guys against the Bad Guys

domain. It leverages the entire network to deliver a holistic bottoms-up and tops-down approach.

Firewalls, virtual or physical, are right sized for the application and provided advanced firewall, and UTM capabili-ties when needed. These capabilities are consistent across both physical and virtual platforms, allowing the device to fit the need and be configured the same policy netting the same result, simplifying opera-tions of the network.

Juniper Security Director combined with Junipers cloud-based security services (Sky ATP & Spotlight) provide the founda-tion for an open policy engine. Security Director works in concert with these ser-vices to push policies into the network. By providing real time feedback between fire-walls, Security Director provides the ability to deploy policy across network devices the instant that it is needed.

Spotlight Secure Connector policy adapts the network to protect against threats. File types that typically carry mal-ware are copied and sent to cloud. A sand-box environment within Sky ATP using static or dynamic inspection techniques, manipulates the files to trick them in revealing their malicious behavior. Paired with Junipers cloud based Spotlight Secure and Connector services, then responds telling the network to block those files that are perceived as hazardous.

In addition to enabling the capabili-ties above, the Software Defined Secure Network is grounded in integrating 3rd party capabilities, to unite the good guys against the bad guys. Our Open Con-vergence Framework (OCF) provides integration with our technical alliance partners, enabling customers to sub-scribe to critical service feeds and threat information to receive real-time updates. This ensures that their networks are protected with the most up-to-date and effective capabilities, and enables them to choose their preferred threat intelligence information sources.

HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN PARTICIPATING IN GISEC? WHAT IS YOUR GISEC 2016 AGENDA?Juniper Networks, in conjunction with our security partner Fireware, will be present at GISEC 2016. We hope to share our vision for Software Defined Secure Networks and how this approach to security can help companies more effectively leverage their entire network for security.

HOW DO YOU PERCEIVE THE CURRENT THREAT AND SECURITY LAND-SCAPE OF THE REGION?In recent years, we saw what was once considered fiction become reality. Cyber-attacks are more diverse than ever before; from physical attacks by nation states on critical infrastructure and ransomware capable bringing business operations to a stop to the increasing number of data breaches exposing millions of records.

The network needs to be inherently secure and dynamically adaptable, automatically detecting aberrant behavior and respond. Businesses cannot only look at securing the perimeters and endpoints, they now have to assume that threats and bad actors are already inside.

WHAT ARE THE VARIOUS SOLUTIONS THAT YOU GO TO MARKET WITH?Junipers goal is to offer customers the most comprehensive secure network solu-tion embedded within and throughout the network. Using real-time threat infor-mation, our solution can adapt to gain awareness and knowledge of activities and traffic traversing the network, and it has the unique ability to create and distribute policy across the network adaptively, and dynamically.

generated across IT, the business and in the cloud giving customers the ability to detect and respond to known, unknown and advanced threats.

HOW IS THE ROLE OF CISO/CIO EVOLVING WITH THE THREAT LANDSCAPE GETTING TRICKIER DAY BY DAY?Increasingly business leaders are demand-ing better insight into the impact of tech-nology on the wider business, with security being no different. In 2016 we will see data science demystified, moving from Ph.D. to MBA, with easier ways emerging to con-sume, analyze and correlate machine data. This will inevitably impact how the CISO/CIO works with other key stakeholders in the business, increasing the pressure upon them to provide a range of digital insight across IT and security.

WHICH TREND DO YOU FORECAST FOR THE REGIONS SECURITY LANDSCAPE IN THE DAYS TO COME?Internet-connected systems are set to create opportunities for hacktivists and ter-rorist organizations to access and produc-tize information, and businesses will have to adapt to manage this new threat surface. The Internet of Things (IoT) will become a significant threat surface for the enterprise, leading to more physical disruption and new solutions. The proliferation of IoT is also set to cause more disruption and actual physical damage versus just hard-ware and software disruption.

HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN PARTICIPATING IN GISEC?Since 2013.

HOW DO YOU PERCEIVE THE CURRENT THREAT AND SECURITY LAND-SCAPE OF THE REGION?As companies grow and the data that they create expands, its becoming easier and easier for these threats to hide within a companys network. The key to addressing this is being able to analyze machine data in real time to uncover anything anoma-lous. Organizations with those capabilities will be well placed to manage both the cur-

Leveraging the Spectrum of IoT

THE NUMBER OF WIRE-LESS M2M CONNECTIONS IN THE MIDDLE EAST IS FORECAST TO RISE TO 119.7 MILLION BY THE END OF 2016. WHAT KIND OF TREND DO YOU SEE IN THE REGION AS FAR AS EMBRACING IOT IS CONCERNED?

Fast growing numbers and types of IoT devices require scalable and modular solutions like our UonMap.com platform which combines connected vehicles, smart homes, video streaming, security, wide range of wireless or wired sensors. UonMap embraces different spheres of IoT including safety and public security, solutions for Smart Cities and government

UONMAP.COM

Our main idea is not just to make everything connected and easy-to-use, but to make our life safe and secure.IGOR SARANDI-SEREDAFOUNDER AND CEO OF UONMAP

MARKET?IoT market splits into several parts. We have built a universal modular platform UonMap.com to connect people, vehicles and smart homes. It makes our strategy more effective comparing to other compa-nies usually covering some fragmented IoT market. Our main idea is not just to make everything connected and easy-to-use, but to make our life safe and secure.

HOW DO YOU MAKE THOSE SOLUTIONS AVAIL-ABLE TO THE MARKET?We develop our own hardware and soft-ware what helps us advance and provide the solutions of a better quality. We offer modular systems and equipment basing on our customers requirements. Bringing our specially developed IoT

devices into each part of the marked makes our solutions more attractive for customers.

WHO ARE YOUR MAJOR CUSTOMERS SO FAR AND WHO ARE YOU EVALUAT-ING NOW?Our company is relatively new in the market, but we already have a lot of corpo-rate customers all over the world who are eager to cooperate with us and distribute our products. Among them there are gov-ernment ambulance services, insurance, logistics, taxi and real estate companies, schools, business corporations who use our product to monitor their offices, staff and fleet.

WOULD YOU LIKE TO BRIEF US ABOUT ANY RECENT IOT IMPLEMEN-TATIONS IN THE REGION EVIDENT WITH YOUR CONTRIBUTIONS TO IT?Our latest IoT implementation is an infra-structural project for Gazprom company. The project includes staff monitoring, safety, security and maintenance of gas pipelines and facilities.

ACCORDING TO RESEARCHERS, THE IOT ECONOMY WILL LEAD TO THE EMERGENCE OF NEW JOBS IN HYBRID VERTICALS. WHAT IS YOUR PERCEPTION OF THIS?IoT has touchpoints with many parts of life: medicine, energy, agriculture, etc. Such mixes will boost the demand for people skilled in several areas at once, those having knowledge of specific industry domains and new technologies along with management skills. It will provide more efficient interaction and deeper understanding of their sphere of work including its tendencies and requirements, and possibilities of better salaries.
