Information Technology Matrix (IT Matrix), an IT security solution provider in Saudi Arabia and digital security consultants @stake Inc. will be participating at the United Arab Emirates’ IT security event, ELERT, scheduled to take place September 22-23 at the Fairmont Hotel and Tech Access iForce Center, Dubai.

“A lapse on any front would not only cause greater risk for network breaches but also a downgraded performance of the network," said Mirza Asrar, CEO of IT Matrix. "’Security is a process not a product’ is a statement that needs an in-depth understanding and IT Matrix has been delivering numerous presentations and seminars emphasizing this aspect. Just placing the security products in a network gives a false sense of protection, therefore it is mandatory to continuously monitor and maintain the solution in totality."
Managing Security Consultant of @Stake, Andy smith, outlined the partnerships credentials, “We have acted as advisor to the National Security Council and members of the 303 Committee in the White House, provided testimony before the Joint House and Senate Judiciary Oversight Committee, the Subcommittees on Crime and Criminal Justice, technical expert on modifications of existing legislature regarding computer crimes and tracking techniques, Served on President Clinton's Cyber Security Summit Panel and provided assistance to support investigations conducted by several FBI field office computer intrusion squads”.
“More and more companies in the Middle East are adopting, or considering to adopt the BS7799 standard despite there being a knowledge gap among security professionals being aware of it's content. In order to address the growing use of certification of information security management systems in the Middle East there must be a forum in which to openly debate the issues that affect not only the region but also those in the international arena”, commented Smith. – (menareport.com)
