Why PrivSec MENA is a must-attend in 2022?

New data privacy and protection legislation throughout the MENA Region are driving consumer demands around trustworthy and transparent use of data.

Privacy is very much enshrined in Sharia Law and there has been a huge swathe in privacy protection laws to protect the rights’ of citizens. Non compliance can now result in huge fines and reputational damage.

Countries across the region have seen updates in their privacy regulations including; Qatar, Turkey, Abu Dhabi, Bahrain, Lebanon, Egypt, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

Many MENA organisations are now recognising the significant risks of cyberattacks and data breaches. PrivSec MENA will tackle issues and challenges unique to the MENA region, as well as addressing global issues that affect organizations.
