Our cybersecurity expert speakers 

Our industry partners, Security Matterz, Corsa, Yogosha and Infosec, joined us at the stc Bahrain stand to discuss cybersecurity threats and solutions. Plus, we were pleased to be joined by our sister company, sirar by stc, who specializes in cybersecurity in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. They were a key part of the stc stand, with a major presence and branded collateral. Their presence at the stand was valued and appreciated by all who visited, as the partners further enriched stc’s cybersecurity solutions with their own extensive portfolio of tools. Cybersecurity is a global threat, so it’s important that different organizations and thought leaders come together to beat the risks.

Cybersecurity experts from the region were also in attendance, speaking on the importance of having solid precautions in place, whether you’re safeguarding yourself or your organization. 

Those who attended the event and visited our stall had the opportunity to ask our experts questions related to their specific business’ cybersecurity needs. stc was lucky to be joined by prominent figures in the industry from our partner organizations. Eng. Nezar Banabeela, CEO of stc Bahrain and Fahad Al Jutaily, CEO of Sirar by stc, were just two of the industry leaders in attendance. Both men shared their insights with the attendees; Nezar delivered a keynote speech at the event’s opening ceremony, while Fahad was a featured panellist in a discussion surrounding how society as a whole needs to collaborate to tackle cybercrime.   

Mastermind hackers in action 

We also hosted a live hacking show at our stand. Our celebrity hackers demonstrated how vulnerable our devices and accounts could be when challenged by hacking masterminds.
