GISEC Global 2025: Dubai Mobilises Global Cyber Defence Leaders to Combat AI-Driven Cybercrime and Ransomware
From 6-8 May, 25,000+ cybersecurity experts will gather at the Middle East and Africa’s largest cybersecurity event to secure the region’s digital future against deepfake scams and critical infrastructure vulnerabilities
Dubai, United Arab Emirates, 3rd May 2025, ZEX PR WIRE, With AI-driven cybercrime and ransomware attacks surging globally, GISEC Global 2025 returns to Dubai from May 6 – 8, bringing together the world’s foremost leaders, innovators, and visionaries in a high-stakes effort to secure our digital future.
GISEC Global transforms Dubai World Trade Centre into the epicentre of cybersecurity, uniting 450+ CISOs, 25,000 professionals from 160 countries, and 750+ brands—from tech giants like AWS, Huawei, and Microsoft to innovative startups—for MEA’s most pivotal cyber event under the theme ‘Securing an AI-Powered Future.’ The year 2025 has been declared as the ‘Year of Community’ by His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, President of the UAE, calling for collective action in building a connected and empowered society through AI and entrepreneurship. GISEC Global is strengthening the global cybersecurity community by fostering collaboration between governments, enterprises, and experts to secure our digital tomorrow.
The 14th edition brings together critical focus areas from some of the leading players in the industry, including Huawei, AWS, Microsoft, Google Cloud Security, CISCO, Deloitte, Kaspersky, Check Point, Cloudflare and Honeywell, alongside groundbreaking cybersecurity companies such as Spire Solutions, CPX, CyberKnight, LinkShadow, OPSWAT, Qualys, CrowdStrike, StrikeReady, and Dream Group.
The three-day event will reinforce the UAE’s position as a world leader in AI innovation and responsible AI deployment in the face of threat actors, blending global expertise with regional priorities, and with a strong emphasis on public-private collaboration, innovation, and talent development.
These priorities come at a critical juncture. The World Economic Forum’s Global Security Outlook 2025 report, published ahead of GISEC Global 2025, has shown that:
- 66% of organisations view AI as a game-changer in cybersecurity.
- Nearly half (47%) warn that generative AI is simultaneously arming hackers with scalable new attack vectors
- However, only 14% of organisations feel confidently equipped to respond
These key insights highlight how fast the global cybersecurity market is changing – an ever-growing economic sector that is expected to reach $298.5 billion by 2028, according to Markets and Markets – a significant jump from the $190.4 billion in 2023.
Nowhere is this urgency more apparent than in the Middle East, where 45% of organisations rank cyber risk mitigation as their top operational priority (PWC’s 2024 Global Digital Trust Insights survey). As the region accelerates its digital transformation, GISEC Global 2025 arrives at a pivotal moment to shape its secure future.
The 2025 edition introduces groundbreaking new features:
Next-Gen Cyber Warriors Competition: The Student Hackathon transforms classrooms into cyber defence labs, where young talent tackles real-world scenarios in network security, threat analysis, and incident response.
Critical Infrastructure Programme: The launch of OT Security Conference Track addresses the growing convergence of IT and operational technology, offering actionable strategies to protect vital systems from emerging vulnerabilities.
Africa Cyber Resilience Initiative: As the continent’s digital economy expands, GISEC launches dedicated roundtables with CISOs and national authorities to build continent-wide defences.
GISEC AI: Explore polymorphic malware, adversarial AI, and deepfake scams. This year’s largest AI in cybersecurity showcase will feature pressing topics including polymorphic malware, adverbial AI, deepfake scams and Gen AI tech.
Launch of GISEC North Star: Cyber71, in strategic partnership with GISEC GLOBAL, will launch a series of high-impact initiatives at the region’s largest platform for innovative cybersecurity startups. It will provide a dynamic space for cybersecurity startups to network, attract investment and scale their businesses.
Dubai Cyber Challenge: Premiering at GISEC Global, Organised by DESC, an exclusive ‘Capture the Flag’ competition will be held for Dubai government entities as teams go head to head across two days, focusing on different trends such as web security, reverse engineering and digital forensics through various challenges.
Dubai’s hosting of GISEC Global 2025 cements the UAE’s position as the world’s cybersecurity leader, recently crowned #1 in the Global Cybersecurity Index 2024. The event serves as both a showcase of the nation’s security achievements and a call to action for international collaboration in our interconnected digital future.
H.E. Dr Mohamed Al-Kuwaiti, Head of the UAE Cybersecurity Council, said: “GISEC Global comes at a critical time as cyber threats grow more prevalent and sophisticated,” says HE Dr. Mohamed Al Kuwaiti, Head of the UAE Cybersecurity Council. “In this ‘Year of Community,’ our partnership with GISEC underscores the UAE’s commitment to uniting global stakeholders in addressing urgent cybersecurity challenges—from safeguarding data privacy and securing critical networks to countering advanced threats through AI-powered solutions. Through initiatives like the world’s largest Global Cyber Drill and strategic collaborations at GISEC, we are turning the UAE’s cybersecurity vision into action, ensuring a resilient digital future for all.”
H.E. Yousuf Al Shaibani, Director General of Dubai Electronic Security Center (DESC), said: “Dubai’s rapid digital transformation is redefining the way we live, work, and connect, making cybersecurity more critical than ever. GISEC Global 2025 stands as a pivotal gathering where global experts converge to address emerging threats and pioneer the next generation of cyber resilience. At DESC, we are steadfast in our mission to safeguard Dubai’s digital ecosystem by fostering collaboration, driving innovation, and implementing robust cyber defences. Our participation in GISEC reflects our commitment to shaping global cybersecurity discourse, sharing expertise, and ensuring that Dubai remains at the forefront of secure and intelligent digital progress.”
Trixie LohMirmand, EVP of Dubai World Trade Centre, GISEC Global organiser, said: “Every year, the cybersecurity industry is dealing with new threats and opportunities with GISEC Global at the heart of driving impactful discussions and action from the worldwide ecosystem. This year will be no different as we bring the best minds together once again to Dubai World Trade Centre to explore ways to not only manage cyber risks effectively, which can have far-reaching implications if not dealt with adequately, but also build a safe future that will not impact our economies.”
Sean Yang, Global Cybersecurity and Privacy Protection Officer of Huawei, Lead Strategic Partner of GISEC Global, said: “We are delighted to be extending our long-term partnership with GISEC Global by becoming its Lead Strategic Partner for the 2025 edition. Huawei is committed to securing our shared digital future with governments, industry organisations, standardisation bodies, and enterprise stakeholders. Through such partnerships, we aim to be a reliable partner in the digital and intelligent world and provide our customers with competitive and secure product solutions.

Muzzammil Riaz Champions “Micro-Healing” Approach to Mental Health: Small Daily Actions That Save Lives
Canton, Michigan, 18th August 2025, ZEX PR WIRE, Registered nurse, wellness advocate, and founder of Trust The Process, Muzzammil Riaz, urges individuals and communities to rethink how they approach mental health. His message is simple and profound. Healing does not have to be monumental to be meaningful.
Drawing from his experience in healthcare and his work with thousands of individuals through his mental health platform, Riaz is introducing the concept of micro-healing. This is a daily practice of intentional and small steps that, over time, can transform mental and emotional well-being.
“People often think healing requires a grand breakthrough or a perfect plan,” Riaz says. “In reality, it is the small and consistent actions like journaling for five minutes, taking a slow walk, or telling someone how you feel that create the foundation for lasting resilience. Micro-healing saves lives because it keeps people moving forward even when big change feels impossible.”
What is Micro-Healing?
According to Muzzammil Riaz, micro-healing integrates manageable and evidence-based mental health actions into everyday life. These steps are designed to reduce emotional overwhelm and help individuals take back a sense of control. This is especially important during periods of burnout, grief, or anxiety.
Examples include:
-
Drinking a glass of water before morning coffee
-
Taking three deep and intentional breaths during stressful moments
-
Writing down one thing you are grateful for before bed
-
Spending ten minutes outside regardless of the weather
-
Speaking honestly with one person about how you are feeling
“None of these actions sound revolutionary,” Riaz says. “That is exactly the point. They are realistic, repeatable, and sustainable. Most importantly, they help people see that change is possible without overhauling an entire life overnight.”
The Research Backs It Up
Studies in psychology and neuroscience show that small and repeated behaviors can rewire neural pathways. This makes emotional regulation more accessible over time. Micro-healing works because it focuses on achievable wins that build momentum. This approach counters the all-or-nothing thinking that often stalls recovery.
Muzzammil Riaz emphasizes that micro-healing is not a replacement for professional care when needed. It is a complementary framework that empowers people to take charge of their daily mental health.
Why This Matters Now
The urgency behind Riaz’s message comes from his experience as a nurse during extreme strain on healthcare systems. He has seen the toll that chronic stress, unprocessed trauma, and isolation can take on patients and healthcare workers.
“Mental health conversations are more common now. Implementation is where people struggle,” he explains. “You can read a hundred self-help books and still feel stuck if you do not know where to start. Micro-healing gives people a starting point. It is something they can begin today rather than someday.”
From Bedside to Global Advocacy
Through Trust The Process, Riaz has built an online community where vulnerability is valued and stigma is challenged. His honest storytelling connects especially with men who have been told to stay silent about emotional pain.
His mantra, “healing isn’t linear,” reflects his own journey. He balances the demands of healthcare work, academic excellence, philanthropy, and personal growth. In addition to his mental health advocacy, Riaz has supported humanitarian efforts such as funding clean water wells through the Paani Project. This reinforces his belief that healing extends beyond the individual and into the community.
A Call to Action
Riaz invites workplaces, schools, and community organizations to integrate micro-healing practices into their cultures. He envisions a future where emotional well-being is as routine as brushing teeth or locking your front door.
“You do not need to wait for a crisis to take care of your mind,” he says. “If we treat mental health maintenance the same way we treat physical hygiene, we can prevent suffering before it escalates.”
About Muzzammil Riaz
Muzzammil Riaz is a registered nurse, wellness advocate, and the founder of Trust The Process, a digital platform dedicated to mental health, healing, and authentic growth. He blends clinical knowledge with emotional insight to help individuals navigate burnout, anxiety, and self-doubt. Through honest storytelling, education, and community outreach, he challenges stigma, promotes self-compassion, and reminds people that their truth is enough.

ClearTV CEO and Joshua’s Collective founder urges action on long-term, human-focused solutions to California’s housing crisis
Los Angeles, CA, 18th August 2025, ZEX PR WIRE, Entrepreneur and media executive Henry Mauriss is urging civic leaders, business owners, and everyday Californians to support a more comprehensive, systems-level response to homelessness. As founder of Joshua’s Collective, a new initiative designed to address housing, addiction, mental health, and employment together, Mauriss says the current piecemeal approach isn’t working—and it’s time to rethink the model.
“You can’t just build beds and hope the problem disappears,” says Mauriss. “People need more than a roof. They need treatment, support, skills, and a plan forward.”
Why It Matters Now
According to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, California is home to nearly 30% of the nation’s homeless population, with 181,399 people experiencing homelessness in 2024 alone. In Los Angeles County, the number has risen by 9% in just the last year, despite record spending.
“We’re spending billions, but the results don’t reflect that,” Mauriss says. “Because we’re treating symptoms, not systems.”
Mauriss compares the issue to poor design in business operations. “If you don’t build around real use cases, your system breaks down. That’s what’s happening with homelessness solutions,” he explains.
A Holistic Model for Sustainable Recovery
Through Joshua’s Collective, Mauriss is advocating for integrated campuses that provide not just shelter, but also:
-
On-site mental health and addiction services
-
Vocational training and job placement
-
Transitional housing with long-term stability plans
-
Access to peer support and mentorship
“We’re not just trying to reduce numbers,” Mauriss says. “We’re trying to restore lives.”
This model is inspired by his own background in business, where he led scalable platforms like ClearTV and Credit America Corporation. He believes that the same focus on systems, infrastructure, and measurable outcomes should be applied to public service.
“It’s not about charity—it’s about precision. If you treat this like a business problem, you build a better solution,” he explains.
A Call to Action for Citizens and Cities
Mauriss is not asking people to wait for legislation or billion-dollar budgets. He’s encouraging local ownership and action, starting with simple steps:
-
Learn the root causes of homelessness in your area
-
Partner with local service providers to support recovery-oriented programmes
-
Volunteer time or donate resources to organisations addressing addiction and mental health, not just housing
-
Push for better city-level coordination between public and private sector leaders
-
Educate others on why short-term solutions fall short
“Big change doesn’t start at the top. It starts with people who care, acting where they are,” Mauriss says.
He also urges businesses to rethink how they engage with their communities. “Employers have a role. We can’t say we care about workforce development and ignore the thousands of people who are one opportunity away from stability,” he says.
Why This Isn’t Just Another Project
Unlike many one-off programmes or shelter expansions, Joshua’s Collective is designed to scale—with clear metrics for success, reintegration, and personal growth.
Mauriss believes that real progress happens when data and dignity work together.
“We can’t solve complex problems with shallow answers. But we can solve them—if we build the right tools.”
About Henry Mauriss
Henry Mauriss is the CEO of ClearTV, a multimedia network operating in the U.S., UK, and Europe, with expansion plans into South Korea. He is also the founder of Credit America Corporation and Joshua’s Collective. With over 30 years of experience in consumer marketing and systems design, Mauriss is now focused on sustainable, scalable solutions to California’s homelessness crisis.

Next-generation pocket torch fuses laser-grade spotlight with flood array, doubles as 5,000 mAh power bank
HONG KONG, 19 August , 2025 — FOLOMOV, the Hong Kong-based lighting innovator known for pushing lumen limits without adding grams, today launched its latest creation: the A7 flashlight. Live now on Kickstarter, the A7 pairs a 20-watt warm-white laser center with six cool-white flood LEDs, delivering a 3,000-lumen dual-tone beam that can cut through fog or gently illuminate a campsite without stealing night vision.
At 255 grams and the size of a commuter mug, the A7 contains a 5,000 mAh 26650 cell capable of 130 hours on whisper mode or a full smartphone recharge in emergency situations. A single side switch cycles four brightness levels, bursts into SOS/strobe, and toggles the signature “blend” mode—both tones firing simultaneously for a sunset-like wash that reaches 220 meters.
“We didn’t just upgrade specs,” said spokesperson. “We rewrote the rulebook for what a pocket light can do.” The IPX6-sealed aluminum body survives downpours and drops, while USB-C fast-charge brings the unit from empty to full in roughly two hours.
Early-bird backers receive the A7 at launch pricing and lifetime support. Campaign details and real-time updates are available on the official Kickstarter page.
About FOLOMOV
Founded in 2018, FOLOMOV specializes in ultra-portable lighting solutions for adventurers, first responders and everyday carry enthusiasts. The company’s previous crowdfunding campaigns have shipped to 48 countries and continue to earn industry recognition for reliability and innovation.
