  • Narcissus Hotel & Spa Riyadh Saudi Arabia (map)

Join us on the 7th of February from 4pm to 6.30 pm (Saudi time) for an insightful, unmissable conference, followed from 7pm by a dinner at the in-house restaurant, "Where East meets West" @Narcissus Hotel. The dinner is included in the ticket price.

Financial technology (Fintech) is a major area of growth within Saudi Arabia economy, creating new companies with exciting new products and services which transform the user experience and the services they use. Fintech has pushed the boundaries of what is possible on mobile platforms, providing services that wouldn’t or couldn’t be conceived of ever being in the customer’s hand.

The financial sector has experienced a digital revolution in recent years, in which traditional entities are becoming providers of digital services to remain competitive. Although this new era provides advantages for businesses and citizens, it also brings new threats and risks in terms of cybersecurity, data privacy and the use of digital identities.

During the event we will explore the cyber security aspects of these digital services, why cyber security is becoming fundamental to modern economies and how attackers are adapting to leverage these new technologies.
