Governments propel cybersecurity conversations on multi-layered defence strategies at GISEC Global in Dubai
- The second day of the annual event put the spotlight on governments, with top officials from the UAE and around the world taking to the stage at Dubai World Trade Centre.
Dubai, UAE, 9th May 2025, ZEX PR WIRE, Governments and their roles in adopting a multi-layered approach to cybersecurity was at the top of the agenda on the second day of GISEC Global 2025, the world’s third-largest cybersecurity event, and biggest in the MENA region.
Following a successful opening day on Tuesday, the Dubai World Trade Centre once again welcomed more than 25,000 visitors from over 160 countries including 450 global CISOs for day two of the mega event, held under the theme of ‘Securing an AI-Powered Future.’
With the Microsoft Digital Defense Report 2024 showing that governments are the third most-targeted sector globally by nation-state threat actors, GISEC Global saw the Global Cybersecurity Congress open with H.E. Dr Mohamed Al-Kuwaiti, Head of the UAE Cybersecurity Council, re-emphasising the need for a collective effort to strengthen the global industry and shape its future policies.
‘A collective effort is fundamental to defeat cyber criminals’
Addressing the audience in his opening speech, he stated: “Cyberattacks do not distinguish between governments, entities and people, they simply attack. That can cost a significant amount of money, or even impact national security. This is why we need to partner as we cannot do this ourselves and why partnership is the main pillar of resiliency.”
H.E. Dr Mohamed Al-Kuwaiti was also part of an insightful panel discussion, joining top officials from a diverse range of businesses in the industry to explore cutting-edge research, public-private partnerships and talent development to tackle evolving cyber threats.
The panel included Pei Ling Lee, Head of Cyber Strategy and Capabilities Development of Interpol. Responsible for driving Interpol’s cybercrime-fighting mandate and strategic objectives and priorities under its Global Cybercrime Programme, she believes it’s essential that more meaningful dialogue takes place to positively impact the industry around the world.
She said: “Of course, training is a very important part but, at Interpol, we also realise there is a need to promote better coordination between law enforcement and entities that are dealing with cybersecurity issues. Therefore, there is more importance on collaboration between international organisations so people can share their expertise with each other, which can be implemented at national levels.”
‘Waiting is no longer an option – we need to take the quantum leap now’
Afra Ibrahim Bin Fares, Senior Policy & Regulations Affairs Executive at Dubai Electronic Security Center (DESC), also delivered an insightful presentation that explored the steps being taken by the government entity in preparing for the quantum leap.
The cybersecurity researcher, who specialises in data security and zero-trust architecture and contributes to Dubai’s cyber resilience, highlighted DESC’s Quantum Cybersecurity Readiness Guidelines, a valuable document to help guide technology providers and entities under DESC’s law. It also provides a strategic framework for assessing and preparing quantum-safe security measures, while supporting the development of a transition roadmap to ensure resilience against emerging quantum computing threats.
As technology continues to rapidly advance, she warned that governments and technology providers cannot afford to wait any longer if they want to avoid situations that could have far-reaching consequences.
She said: “We are on the verge of a new technology revolution – the quantum revolution that will dramatically change our work. Dubai government is positioning itself as one of the pioneers in the Middle East for quantum guidelines and I want to emphasise that quantum is not on the horizon and it is closer than we think. Waiting is no longer an option and it’s time to act and prepare and take on the quantum leap now.”
Looking beyond the Middle East, Jin Young Oh, Vice President of Korea Internet & Security Agency (KISA), explained how the government entity is driving South Korea’s digital trust and internet safety across Asia’s most connected nation.
He highlighted Generative AI, Supply Chain, Cloud Security, AI Cloud Security, Zero-Trust, Cyber Resilience, Proactive Security, Mobility Security, Spam and Phishing and Quantum as KISA’s top 10 cybersecurity issues that they are working on, while efforts are being made in both product development and field testing of prototypes to integrate AI.
Hosted by the UAE Cyber Security Council, and supported by DESC, the UAE Ministry of Interior and Dubai Police, GISEC Global 2025 will come to a close on Thursday. As well as more engaging panel discussions and debates that will shape the future of cybersecurity, the final of the GISEC North Star pitch competition will be held as top innovators present their groundbreaking solutions to a panel of industry leaders.
The event has brought together 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 Spire Solutions, CPX, CyberKnight, LinkShadow, OPSWAT, Qualys, CrowdStrike and StrikeReady.

Drywall contractors and estimators have long relied on experience and laborious methods to determine accurate board counts. But as job complexity increases and material waste becomes more scrutinized, precision in estimating has never been more critical. Active Estimating rises to this challenge by offering a streamlined, data-driven intelligence platform that calculates precise board counts by type and thickness—eliminating guesswork and inefficiency.
Why Accurate Board Counts Matter
Every square foot of drywall installed represents a cost in material, labor, and logistics. Miscalculations—even small ones—can lead to overages that tie up capital or shortages that delay schedules. Active Estimating ensures that board counts are not only accurate but also categorized clearly by type and thickness, giving contractors a real-time snapshot of material needs tailored to each project’s unique specifications.
How It Works
- Board data is automatically categorized by both type (e.g., standard, moisture-resistant) and thickness (e.g., 5/8″, 1/2″).
- Estimators receive segmented board summaries that eliminate the need for manual sorting.
- Quantities reflect exact conditions per floor, area, or building—enabling procurement teams to order precisely what’s needed.
- Supports scenarios where multiple board types and sizes are used across partitions, ceilings, shafts, and other areas.
Precision Without Complexity
While traditional systems require users to piece together quantities from fragmented reports or use external tools, Active Estimating simplifies the process into a single, coherent flow. Estimators get instant feedback as they define conditions, with automatic board type recognition and continuous quantity updates.
Empowering Teams with Transparency
Through segmented outputs and data visualizations, project managers and purchasing departments gain better visibility into material needs—organized by specification and by area. This reduces friction between estimating, purchasing, and field operations, helping ensure that everyone is aligned with the same accurate data.
Benefits at a Glance
- Drastically reduces material waste by eliminating estimation errors.
- Improves bidding accuracy and profitability by using precise board counts.
- Supports large-scale, multi-condition projects with high granularity.
Built for Commercial Complexity
This feature is particularly valuable in commercial projects where various board specifications are used across different scopes. From high-rise buildings with shaft wall systems to mixed-use facilities requiring soundproofing and fire-rated assemblies, estimators can quickly identify the correct board type and thickness required for each application.
Data-Driven Estimating, Done Right
With a focus on clarity, organization, and speed, Active Estimating equips teams with the insights they need to operate with confidence. The ability to generate precise board counts by type and thickness is not just a feature—it’s a critical advantage in an industry where every detail counts.
