Softline FAST. Security Edition | Dubai

On February 4, Softline FAST. Security Edition took place in Dubai, bringing together CISOs from leading companies across the region.

The event focused on a core principle: maximum practicality and meaningful professional dialogue.

The first part of the conference focused on real-world case studies and applied scenarios:

• achieving measurable SOC outcomes through XDR/MDR,
• implementing Zero Trust via centralized identity governance,
• controlling sensitive data and mitigating insider risks,
• preventing identity fraud and deepfake-related threats.

The second part continued in the format of executive roundtables, where each CISO had the opportunity to discuss specific challenges directly with experts from Softline, Kaspersky, One Identity, VisionLabs, and SearchInform.

The event received positive feedback from clients, highlighting its significance for the professional community.

“In the MENA region, cybersecurity today is no longer just a technological challenge – it has become a strategic enabler of sustainable business development. As organizations scale rapidly and accelerating digital adoption, they require mature, measurable, and business-aligned security programs. The Softline FAST format enables discussion at the level of practical solutions and real-world implementation rather than theory,”
— Evgeny Kurtukov, Regional Director MENA, Softline Group.

The conference was the result of long-term, systematic relationship-building efforts in the region and led to agreements on several pilot initiatives.

We thank our partners and participants for the high level of engagement and professional dialogue.
