Penta Security Participates in Black Hat MEA
Hello, this is Pentasecurity, a leading company specializing in cryptography-based technology.
Penta Security recently participated in Black Hat Middle East and Africa (MEA), a renowned global cybersecurity conference held annually in various regions worldwide. This year’s Black Hat MEA marked its largest event to date, attracting attendees from 150 countries, 450 global brands, and over 40,000 participants.
The conference brought together cybersecurity professionals from across the globe and is widely regarded as one of the conferences for staying informed about cutting-edge cyber technologies. It provides an invaluable opportunity to share ideas and success stories within the cybersecurity industry.
Notably, the Middle East and Africa region is undergoing a significant transformation, driven by substantial investments in digital infrastructure as part of efforts to transition from a primarily oil-based economy to a more diversified and technology-driven industrial structure. These advancements, coupled with rapid developments in digital technology, are fueling a growing demand for cybersecurity solutions.
The Middle East is actively involved in the smart city industry, along with other digital infrastructure initiatives. At the ‘KOTRA·Dubai Police Future Technology Cooperation Startup Week,’ Penta Security showcased security solutions critical for building smart cities and discussed plans for future technology partnerships.
In smart cities, everything is connected to the web, and data flows in real time, making strong web security essential. This event highlighted security products designed to create a safe web environment and included consultations with various companies and local governments to explore security solutions.
