“Unmasking Cyber Threats: Infoblox and Fortinet Team Up for an Exclusive Riyadh Seminar”
DUBAI, UAE, 14th May, 2016: Infoblox Inc., a leader in DDI and DNS Security, in association with Fortinet, a global leader in cutting-edge cybersecurity solutions, will jointly conduct a security seminar titled ‘Together We Safeguard’ at the Four Seasons Hotel in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, on Monday, May 30th.
Cherif Sleiman, General Manager for the Middle East at Infoblox, asserts, “We are currently witnessing a surge in IT innovation and modernization. Regional businesses must treat security as the foremost priority in IT expenditures, particularly given the constant evolution of threats and the political instabilities in specific regions that are heightening the scope of cyber warfare. DNS has become the most critical threat vector today—pertaining to denial of service or data breaches. Malware also ranks among the most urgent threats. Modern developments such as SDN and cloud computing have diverted focus from network security. Anticipated attacks on networks are set to morph into application-level strikes and issues concerning DNS infrastructure, given that the operational efficacy of businesses is deeply intertwined with both applications and DNS. In collaboration with Fortinet, we intend to educate regional CIOs and IT leaders on establishing a multi-layered security strategy to address existing vulnerabilities.”
The discussions will feature topics on security, including malware and strategies for mitigating DNS vulnerabilities, enhancing endpoint security through compliance reviews, and network automation. Additionally, the event will emphasize how integrated solutions from Fortinet and Infoblox can provide unparalleled security to regional organizations, offering a holistic end-to-end security framework through actionable network intelligence that is open, scalable, and robust at its core.
“In light of the existing threat landscape, the frequency of DDoS attacks, complex intrusions into systems, and the deployment of advanced protocols like IPv6, entities in the Middle East must empower themselves with the newest technological innovations,” concludes Alain Penel, Vice President for the Middle East at Fortinet.
