About The Event .

This is a groundbreaking initiative aimed at addressing the gender gap in cybersecurity. With women making up only 24% of the global cybersecurity workforce—and even lower percentages in regions like the Middle East (5%) and Africa (9%)—this conference is a vital step toward empowering women in the field.

This three-day event brings together industry leaders, aspiring professionals, and experts to share knowledge, develop skills, and foster meaningful connections in cybersecurity. Through keynote speeches, interactive workshops, and networking sessions, we are building a more inclusive and secure digital future.
