This exhibition aims to showcase initiatives that enhance cybersecurity, safeguard personal data, and emphasize the significance of adopting safe best practices in cyberspace.
The exhibition aims to raise awareness of cybersecurity among different segments of society and to create a secure and reliable online environment in Saudi Arabia. This initiative supports growth and success, aligning with the goals of Saudi Vision 2030.
The exhibition consists of six sections designed to raise awareness about various topics, including acceptable and safe use policies, the role of artificial intelligence in cybersecurity, the advantages of the cyber generation in protecting sensitive information, the significance of maintaining clean offices to prevent breaches, emerging hacking techniques, and interactive methods for tackling cyber challenges. In addition, several awareness-raising sessions will take place throughout the exhibition.
The exhibition features four awareness workshops that address key topics. They cover an acceptable use policy to protect people and the education ecosystem, how to use artificial intelligence safely and responsibly at work, social engineering, and how cyberculture affects how users behave.
