Regulatory compliance is the top operational priority for 65% of Saudi CISOs.But compliance tells you where you were, not where the threat is going. This workshop explores how leading security teamsare using IDC’s forward-looking intelligence — alongside NCA frameworks and sector-specific guidance — to build securitystrategies that anticipate, not just react.​

Drawing on IDC research, this keynote shows how CISOs and security leaders can set the strategy, operating models, and trust frameworks needed to stay ahead of emerging threats while enabling responsible AI-driven innovation.
