GITEX 2016 SPECIAL FEDELIS CYBERSECURITY Making its debut at GITEX, Fedelis CyberSecurity will demonstrate the latest updates to Fidelis Network and Fidelis Endpoint. HUAWEI Huawei will be showcasing its range of ‘new ICT’ solutions that are aimed at “shaping the future in a connected world.” Charles Yang, President, Huawei Middle East, said, “The need of the hour is for infrastructure networks in the Middle East to connect cities – creating information-sharing platforms that carry smart applications for happier and safer communities. At GITEX 2016, Huawei brings the latest technologies, innovations and best practices that redefine the way organisations operate in a Smart City environment.” This year’s key highlights include solutions developed together with Huawei’s technology partners, designed specifically for Government, Education, Hospitality, Real Estate, Banking and Transportation sectors in the Middle East. Huawei Innovation Day will take place on Day 1 of GITEX, from 16:00 to 18:30 at Sheikh Maktoum Hall. Huawei business leaders, product experts, partners and customers will present keynote sessions and a panel discussion focused on ‘shaping the future in times of innovation’. Huawei Innovation Day will also see the launch of a new Smart City Readiness Index that is being developed by Navigant, commissioned by Huawei. “Organisations in the Middle East face an array of highly skilled attackers with motives that range from data theft to the destruction of critical infrastructure,” said Jason Mical, Vice President of endpoint products, Fidelis CyberSecurity. “It’s no longer simply a case of perimeter security and remediation once a breach happens. Security organisations must incorporate deep and automated threat detection and analysis to quickly and accurately respond to threats before they escalate and data theft occurs.” In addition to demonstrating its solutions, Fidelis will be showcasing its new malware database and freeware tools that the security community can take advantage of to counter attacks and prevent data theft without cost. New resources include the Barncat Threat Intelligence Database, the ThreatScanner tool for finding malware residing on an endpoint, and CCNumberFinder to support PCI DSS compliance. “There is no doubt that security is high, if not at the top, of the agenda of every CISO in the Middle East. As the largest regional IT exhibition, I am excited to join the local team at GITEX and use it as a platform to meet with industry peers, partners and customers,” said Jason. Location: Hall 1 This year, Huawei experts will also be sharing insights at the Vertical Conferences at GITEX, delivering an interactive session on ‘Digital Roads to Smarter Cities’ as well as exciting panel discussions at the Tech Talk series titled ‘Public Cloud or Private Cloud- The Debate is on!’ and ‘Making Secure Networks – Role of User Behaviour, Mobility and Ever Changing Threats’ on 17 October and 18 October.
