ophos, a global leader in network and endpoint
security, will highlight its innovative approach to
next-gen security. The company will also showcase
its latest innovations and shed light on a new topic in
next-gen technology; deep learning, an advanced form of
machine learning, that is more effective (higher detection
rate) and more accurate (lower false positives) than
other machine learning technology in the market at the
region’s premier ICT event.
“We also intend to educate decision makers across
the Middle East about our highly differentiated range of
industry-leading IT security solutions that will
protect their organisations against advanced threats
like Ransomware.” n
“The threat landscape is constantly evolving and the
adoption of digitisation in the Middle East has increased
the risk of cyber-attacks that are now unpredictable and
complicated. Hence cybersecurity remains a top priority
for all organisations” said Mr Harish Chib, Vice President,
Middle East and Africa.
“Today it has become increasingly easy to build and
launch ransomware, regardless of skill. All one needs is ill
intent and access to the dark web – a marketplace where
malware kits are peddled like shoes or toys on Amazon.
This trend is known as ransomware as a service. We look
forward to participating at GITEX this year and plan to
use this as a platform to enlighten our customers on
Ransomware as a Service and Dark Web through Sophos’
