Risk, Readiness and
Energy Resilience

Risk, Readiness and Energy Resilience
The Middle East’s cybersecurity market is expected to almost double in the next five years, but companies tend to prepare for averages. If the probability of being attacked is 100% and the big attacks have devastating consequences – how do companies innovate while assessing their risk, readiness and resilience to handle a black swan event? During this breakfast briefing, Bloomberg will convene the leading minds facing this challenge head-on in the energy industry, along with government and intelligence experts who are focused on creating a cyber-resilient Middle East.

Risky Business & Emerging Tech
Digitization, automation and AI have revolutionized industrial operations in all sectors, dramatically transforming the global industrial landscape and creating novel approaches to the way products are designed, manufactured and marketed. Business is now tasked with embracing the disruptive forces of innovation that have engulfed traditional operations, while trying to prepare for the inevitable breaches this technological revolution will bring. As attacks exploiting corporate cyber-vulnerabilities become the new normal, the question of how companies assess the risk of attack, while simultaneously accelerating innovation has never been more relevant.
