Regional Cyber Security Summit Egypt

Oman National Computer Emergency Response Team (OCERT) has inked a partnership with Nispana, a business intelligence company, to create, develop and manage the fifth Annual Regional Cyber Security Summit, to take place in Sharm el Sheikh in Egypt from October 30 to November 1.

The event will be organised in collaboration with the National Telecom Regulatory Authority (NTRA) in Egypt.

The agreement was signed in Muscat on Tuesday between Eng Bader al Salehi, director general of OCERT and Narendra Kumar, managing director of Nispana Innovative Platforms.

“These days, the significant number of cyberattacks require boundless efforts to enhance cybersecurity posture,” Eng Salehi said.

The high-level three-day summit will focus on the collaboration of 22 Arab countries and the neighbouring North African states to fight cybercrime and promote a safe Internet environment. The regional summit in 2016 will extensively focus on future expected threats and measures, also aiming at global collaboration of public, private and academic sectors.
