Cloudflare has announced its participation at Gulf Information Security Expo & Conference (GISEC) Global 2023 scheduled for 14th – 16th March in Dubai. The company will use the event as a platform to educate regional enterprises and organisations about protecting, consolidating and optimising their corporate networks, their IT and internet presence, without the cost and complexity of managing legacy network hardware.
Speaking about the company’s participation at GISEC, Bashar Bashaireh, Managing Director – Middle East & Turkey, Cloudflare said, “Over the past few years, ransomware, data breaches, and other cyberattacks have been hugely disruptive and cost businesses and public agencies huge amounts of money, in addition to loss of reputation and market trust. In response, as organisations embrace digital transformation and move their operations to the cloud, they should be looking to an integrated service – offering security, performance, reliability and privacy as the key pillars of a successful digital transformation strategy. The first and most critical part of this transformation is to build trust within an enterprise’s ecosystem – customers, partners, stakeholders. And for this an organisation needs to have a robust and integrated security solution in place.”
“As a company that is leading innovation, we are excited to be present at GISEC, to partner with enterprises in the region on their network transformation journey. Corporate networking has become overly complicated. Network and IT teams that used to maintain “castle-and-moat” architectures are now responsible for much more: managing legacy WAN connectivity (such as MPLS), establishing secure remote access, and stringing together disparate networking hardware on-premise to satisfy security, performance, and reliability needs. With Cloudflare, enterprises can replace a patchwork of appliances and expensive legacy circuits with a single global platform that provides built-in, software-defined Zero Trust functionality, DDoS mitigation, firewall services, and traffic acceleration.”
The company is keen to demonstrate Application Security, Email Security, Threat Data and Tooling, Zero Trust and DDoS Mitigation at GISEC. Zero Trust places identity-based security controls, firewall, WAN-as-a-Service and more, close to users everywhere on Earth, helping them quickly and securely connect to any enterprise resource.
In the month of February, the company mitigated a record-breaking 71 Million request-per-second DDoS attack. This is the largest reported HTTP DDoS attack on record, more than 35% higher than the previous reported record of 46M rps in June 2022.
Cloudflare API Shield keeps APIs secure and productive with API discovery and innovative, layered defenses. The company’s application security products work closely with our performance suite, delivered by the world’s most-connected global cloud platform.
The company will also be hosting an exclusive networking event for cybersecurity professionals and IT experts on March 15 at Hotel H in Dubai, where participants will be provided a brief overview of Cloudflare and get an insight into cybersecurity trends expected in 2023.
