The royal presence today comes in the form of HH Sheikh Mansour who is currently walking around the Zabeel Halls at Dubai’s World Trade Centre.Įlsewhere, Panasonic has had a busy morning, unveiling a new interactive video wall combining 4×4 55-inch LCD panels with full HD quality. Is it time to stop ignoring the cyber security pop-ups? While 23 per cent of residents are convinced that bank fraud is a rare phenomenon, 69 per cent have faced at least one financial cyberthreat in the last 12 months. Gulf Business has attended a conference by Kaspersky, where the global security firm has revealed some interesting stats about the UAE’s internet-security habits. “We are well ahead of others in this technology and now others are planning to catch up,” he added.

In an exclusive interview, Sam Alkharrat, director of SAP’s MENA region, said that the software firm has been leading the market in memory computing over the last two years. “Large companies are now adopting cloud technology in private and there’s an increasing number of partnerships with banks and telco firms,” he said. We’ve spent some time with Valerio Romano, managing director of Technology Consulting at Accenture, who has told us that a lot of lessons surrounding cloud computing have been learnt in the region over the last year. Speaking exclusively with Gulf Business, Haas, who reports directly to founder and CEO Michael Dell, told us the company has had a lot of conversations with local municipalities and government agencies in the UAE, describing the current period as “a perfect opportunity to be a part of the economic growth and the overall infrastructure requirements in the country.” Gitex has been bustling with activity this year, with new announcements from global giants such as Microsoft and HP, and major displays from local bodies such as Dubai Smart Government.Ĭomputer giant Dell is well-represented at Gitex this year with its president of Enterprise Solutions, Marius Haas, in attendance.

Why is the region so ill-prepared for cyber crime? That’s the question we will pose to officials from Symantec later today. More than 20 per cent of businesses experienced an average of three security breaches in the past 12 months, it found. If you want further details about the new service and about how BB hopes to compete with the uber-popular WhatsApp, stay tuned as Gulf Business is soon heading out for an exclusive interview with a senior BlackBerry official.Ĭyber security has been one of the key topics of discussion this year, and all the experts jointly admit that companies and individuals in the Middle East are extremely vulnerable to cyber attacks.Ī regional survey conducted by Trend Micro, which looked at different industry verticals including government, IT, engineering, FMCG, construction, automotive, oil and gas, manufacturing and education, found that the region has a 100 per cent infection rate.

So if you didn’t book a spot, join the queue! There’s a small catch though – to avoid a server crash, the Canadian manufacturer is initially only allowing BBM access to those who signed up for the service in advance.

He also (predictably!) refused to comment on rumours about a possible Lenovo takeover of BlackBerry and confirmed that the company has four new products lined up for next year.īlackBerry is finally rolling out its BlackBerry Messenger (BBM) service for Android and iOS users today. The service is quick, reliable, safe and secure, he assured us, factors which will help BBM beat rivals. Just had a quick chat with Mike Al-Mefleh, director of Product Management, Middle East at BlackBerry and he confirmed that the BBM service for Android and iOS users is being launched in phases across the world to avoid an overload. However he added: “In the UAE, there is recognition about the growing importance of intelligence in IT related matters.” Middle East companies should refrain from cutting technology costs as the repurcussions can prove to be extremely expensive, advised Darren Thomson, Symantec CTO and head of Enterprise Strategy, EMEA.
