On the Main Stage of GISEC Global, Dr. Madan Oberoi, Executive Director for Technology and Innovation, Interpol, Singapore, today introduced the first Global Police Metaverse, the first virtual platform designed for the global law enforcement community.<\/p>\n
\u201cLike all other ever-evolving technologies, the metaverse represents unique opportunities and challenges for law enforcement,\u201d said Dr. Oberoi.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe, therefore, need to understand what harm can occur in or through the metaverse. These include offenses that mirror existing criminal threats like crimes against children, harassment, cybercrime, and fraud. At the same time, the metaverse will generate new forms of crime – called meta crimes \u2013 such as Darkverse or 3D virtual property crimes or harm to and misuse of avatars.\u201d<\/p>\n
GISEC Global is organised by DWTC and hosted by the UAE Cybersecurity Council. Dubai Electronic Security Center (DESC) is the Official Government Cyber Security Partner, and the Ministry of Interior, the Telecommunications and Digital Government Regulatory Authority (TDRA), and Dubai Police are Official Supporters.<\/p>\n
Trixie LohMirmand, Executive Vice President of Events Management at Dubai World Trade Centre, said: \u201cThe cybersecurity challenge facing organisations is formidable. By bringing together the world\u2019s leading cybersecurity experts and digital trailblazers, GISEC Global paves the way for regional organisations to demystify the complex cyber threat landscape and unearth real-world solutions from global experts to build cyber-resilient digital businesses.\u201d<\/p>\n
This year, the region\u2019s largest cybersecurity event is dismantling the greatest digital threats, from attacking botnet Mantis to hacking through ChatGPT.<\/p>\n
Roland Daccache, SE Manager, META, at CrowdStrike, a debut GISEC Global exhibitor, said: \u201cIn 2023, adversaries will leverage identity-based attacks for initial access and lateral movement, driving down breakout time, and dedicated data leak marketplaces will see a massive expansion as cybercriminals focus on extortion. In 2022, 71 percent of attacks we detected were malware-free, and we saw a 112 percent YoY increase in access broker advertisements on the dark web. This means that organisations must authenticate every identity and authorise each request to maintain security and prevent a wide range of cyber threats, including ransomware and supply chain attacks.\u201d<\/p>\n
GopanSivasankaran, Regional Director, META, Secureworks, reiterated the importance of driving awareness of the evolving cybersecurity landscape and bringing greater attention to the Extended Detection and Response (XDR) and Managed Detection and Response (MDR) market. \u201cSolutions are shifting from a siloed approach to a platform approach focusing on delivering a superior security analyst experience to help organisations prevent, detect, and respond to threats.<\/p>\n
\u201cHere at GISEC, we look forward to continuing conversations about the future of cybersecurity, the importance of cyber resilience and Managed Detection and Response (MDR), as well as connecting with our customers and partners.\u201d<\/p>\n
