This year’s event is more than just about the cutting-edge talks and deep-knowledge trainings that HITB is known for. Following the hugely successful 2019 show, Disrupt AD is bringing back #HITBCyberWeek to the UAE’s capital where the world’s best thinkers and cyber security experts will come together in a five-day hybrid event to share the latest knowledge, ideas and techniques among security professionals and university students.

The event also brings together technology start-ups, the world’s best hackers to compete with UAE teams in the Pro CTF competition, and a host of hardware and software related challenges and mini-workshops to spur the next generation to ‘think outside the box’.

The exhibition area is open to the public, and this marks the first HITB hybrid event with livestreaming for virtual attendees from around the world combined with a physical event at ADNEC in Abu Dhabi where visitors can experience the Security Exhibition, Start-Up Village, demos, games, competitions, and more.

This year’s event is with the support of The National Cyber Security Council and Dr Mohammad Al-Kuwaiti, Head of Cyber Security UAE will be delivering the inaugural keynote to launch the event (10:15am on 24 November).
