Governance, Risk, and Compliance is critically important in cybersecurity, providing a structured, holistic framework that enables organizations to actively manage risk, ensure regulatory compliance, and align cybersecurity initiatives with overarching business objectives.
GRCis not just a compliance necessity; it is a foundation for operational excellence in cybersecurity, driving proactive risk posture, robust governance, and the agility to adapt to both regulatory changes and emerging cyber threats.
Why Cyber GRC is especially critical in theMiddle East
For organizations operating in the Middle East, GRC is not just an internal requirement but a strategic imperative due to the region's heightened cyber risk landscape, evolving regulatory demands, and ongoing regional tensions.
There are thousands of large companies andtens of thousands of mid-sized companies actively operating in the Middle East and according to recent regional surveys, over half of these now have CISOs or equivalent security leaders who are actively involved in business strategy, cybersecurity risk management, and regulatory initiatives.
The Middle East's economy is diverse,blending traditional strengths with emerging fields and key sectors include:
Oil and Gas
Construction
Manufacturing
Financial Services
Healthcare
International Trade
Technology
CYBER GRC Middle East will attract 150 of the region’s leading CISO’s and Chief RiskOfficers to a two-day high impact event taking place at DIFC Waldorf Astoria, Dubai.
