The Riyadh Front Exhibition & Conference Center has been abuzz with the world's fastest-growing cybersecurity event, Black Hat, which is currently in its second day. Organized by the Saudi Federation for Cybersecurity, Programming, and Drones (SAFCSP) in collaboration with Tahaluf, the event has been a hotspot for industry experts, professionals, and enthusiasts alike. The program features a lineup of sessions delving into cutting-edge topics such as the "Security Continuum," "Gamification of Cybersecurity," "Cyber Leadership," and the engaging "Ask Me Anything (AMA): The CISO Sit-Down." The event's roster of experts and speakers is impressive, including industry luminaries like Pascal Andrei from Airbus, Abdurrahman Al-Naim from Saudi Aramco, Ali Alhumaid from Falbrokers, Saeed Abu Nimeh from Seclytics, Chris Roberts from Bae Systems, Philip Martin from Oetker Group and Coinbase, David Cross from Oracle Saas Cloud, and William Lin from Aka Identity. A notable highlight of the event was the graduation ceremony of the Tuwaiq Cybersecurity Bootcamp trainees. Impressively, these graduates secured an impressive 70% of job offers within just two months. To further support the growth of cybersecurity talent, enrollment for 20 new cybersecurity programs will be opened through the Tuwaiq Academy website, emphasizing the commitment to nurturing and expanding the skills and expertise in the ever-evolving field of cybersecurity.
