In this Panel we had shed light on the importance of #Cyber_Resiliency as a capability across the Nation's various industries, the key pillars in having a successful and effective one, and the challenges and opportunities in building such capabilities. Noting that all of us as Panelists are coming from various sector, it was an amazing learning opportunity for me as I had truly enjoyed sharing thoughts on the above points and reflecting with my fellow insightful Panelists: Anett Numa (Cyber Policy Adviser, Ministry of Defence, #Estonia), Dr. Bernd Pichlmayer (Policy Advisor for Cybersecurity, Federal Chancellery of the Republic of #Austria), @Amer Sharaf (Director of Compliance Support and Alliances, Dubai Electronic Security Center ), Kamal Kamel (Chief Cybersecurity and Privacy Officer, 华为 Gulf North, Qatar), which was smoothly and professionally Moderated by Nathan Swain (CISO, Global Digital Asset Exchange). Thank you Nathan, you did an amazing job.

??#Women_in_Cyber_Panel - Break the Barriers: Advancing & Retaining #Women in Cyber organized by the #UAE Cyber Security Council .

In this particular Panel, I was overwhelmed even #Before Panel starts, as we had many of our remarkable Women in Cyber Security Middle East 's ladies who had came to connect with us In-Person and enjoy the #Panel Discussion. The #love, the #laughter, and the #Kindness that our Ladies had shown had took me to #Cloud9 and recharged my #Positive #Energy to its peaks.

#During the Panel which was successfully moderated by Joe Hubbard and coordinated by Lea Boutros ( 德勤 ), I was so excited to share and reflect on How can Women in Cyber #Trailblazer their ways into Cybersecurity where my dear friends Dr. Dr. Bushra AlBlooshi Al Blooshi & Dr. Dr.Hoda A.Alkhzaimi had enriched the discussion with their deep perspectives and Powerful Passion towards getting more Women to excel in #CyberSecurity. and ofcourse, Our Women in Cyber Security Middle East Stories were a Live Examples on how can We had "Walked the Talk" of Empowering Women and Support them to thrive.

His Excellency's kind visit despite his busy schedule was a wonderful gesture and a true evidence on His Excellency's keenness to Empower our Women in Cyber Security Middle East #Above_and_Beyond.

?? GISEC GLOBAL : #CISO_Circle:

The Session had gathered a group of Cyber Security #Thought_Leaders & #Elites whom were welcomed by Thomas L?ffler . One of the main highlights in this session was H.E. Dr. Mohammed Al-Kuwaiti gave the opening remarks highlighting the importance of Collaboration within the #CyberSecurity #Community within same sectors and across sectors as well. Listening to H.E.'s Talk was literally Music to my ears, as I strongly believe that "We are and will always be #StrongerTogether". Another interesting talk was given by Steven Meyer & Isabelle Meyer shedding light on Region's #Threatlandscape while sharing #ThreatActors' interesting stories. It was also quite wonderful to meet many of our dear Colleagues and friends after such a Long-COVID-time.

#Personal_Reflections ??:

This Event was very special to me as I have Received His Excellency's esteemed Acknowledgement (Post will come Soon) in recognition to the contributions in this Event and to the efforts exerted in #CyberSecurity across the region and on global levels. Another important reason this event is very special is the Amazing Power of Support and Love Our Women in Cyber Security Middle East 's member in #UAE had shown and expressed. I do believe that the Huge and Continuous Growth #WiCSME is witnessing today that started from 8 Passionate Women (Co-Founders) gathered in a Round-Table Meeting in April 2018 under the guidance of Ahmed Qurram Baig CRISC,CISSP,CBCP,CISM,CISA,BCCP (May Allah Mercy His Soul) and concluded with a decision to establish a Women in Cyber Security Middle East Group with the purpose of Creating a #Tribe and a #Group of #CyberSecurity Women that forms a Family which offers a #Safe_Place, #Love, #Growth_Opporotunity, #Support, #Guidance, #Mentorship, and #Learning within its Bond and under its Umbrella. I do believe that our Women in Cyber Security Middle East is a #Blessing that keeps on serving the above #Mission everyday #Stronger and #Better.

In #WiCSME, We do Walk the Talk and In #WiCSME, Dreams do become Realities.
