Empowering Users Against AI Deepfakes

GITEX Global at the Dubai World Trade Centre
Hall 24, Tech Talks 24

We have entered a new era shaped by artificial intelligence. One of the biggest challenges we face is the rise of Deepfakes. These are fake images, videos, and audio clips created using AI. They can look and sound very real, but they are completely fake. At HONOR, our mission is to create technology that puts people first. In this age of digital manipulation, we believe it is our duty to help users stay safe and feel confident in what they see online. This is why we developed our AI Deepfake Detection technology. HONOR is proud to be the first smartphone brand to bring this innovation directly to users, with detection happening on the device itself. Our goal is simple: to help users spot Deepfakes in real time and stay protected—without giving up their privacy.

How AI is Turning Your Data Storage from: A Cost Center into A Profit Engine

GITEX Global at the Dubai World Trade Centre
Hall 24, Tech Talks 24

• AI is transforming data storage from a cost center into a profit engine by making storage intelligent and value-driven. • Current paradox: Data storage is seen as a major expense, while AI is viewed as a huge revenue opportunity, yet these are not effectively connected. • The real AI bottleneck is not compute, but the slow, messy process of getting the right data to AI models—AI is “starving on a full stomach of data

Securing the Future: Implementing Zero Trust for OT, IoT, and Critical Infrastructure in a Wireless-Connected World

GITEX Global at the Dubai World Trade Centre
Hall 24, Tech Talks 24

As industries become increasingly reliant on wireless connectivity, IoT devices, and interconnected Operational Technology (OT) systems, the risk to critical infrastructure grows exponentially. Traditional security approaches are no longer sufficient to protect against advanced threats targeting these vulnerable environments. In this session, we explore how Zscaler Cellular provides a comprehensive solution to secure IoT, OT, and critical infrastructure from evolving cyber risks. Learn how implementing Zero Trust principles across these systems can prevent unauthorized access, secure device communication, and safeguard vital operations without disrupting performance. From mitigating risks posed by legacy architectures to leveraging OSINT for proactive threat detection, attendees will gain actionable insights for future-proofing their wireless-connected environments. Discover how intelligent, Zero Trust security frameworks empower organizations to lead confidently while protecting their most critical assets in today’s wireless-first, IoT-driven world.

AI-Powered Insights from Your Backup Data

GITEX Global at the Dubai World Trade Centre
Hall 24, Tech Talks 24

A company’s data lives in files, folders, and documents across its clouds and storage arrays. And while we back up, secure, and protect this data, the knowledge locked inside the data is actually more important than the data itself. Unlocking this knowledge across your enterprise can be time-consuming and expensive. Cohesity Gaia delivers faster, simpler, and more cost-effective data insights by bringing retrieval augmented generation (RAG) AI and large language models (LLMs) to your enterprise data. Customers may also require an AI solution for on-premises environments. Cohesity Gaia allows customers to maintain complete control over sensitive data while benefiting from generative AI capabilities at the same time.

Safeguarding MEA’s Industrial Future: Zero Trust Strategies for the OT/IT Convergence

GITEX Global at the Dubai World Trade Centre
Hall 24, Tech Talks 24

MEA’s critical industries – from oil fields to power grids – are embracing digital transformation, blurring the line between Operational Technology (OT) and IT. But this OT-IT convergence has opened new cybersecurity challenges in a region where downtime isn’t an option. Legacy control systems now face modern threats like ransomware outbreaks and state-sponsored attacks that can leap from corporate IT into plant operations. In this tech talk, Hussam Abu Rida, Technical Director for MEA at TXOne Networks, shares a practical blueprint to protect industrial networks without disrupting them. He will illustrate how Zero Trust principles – adapted to OT environments – can contain ransomware, lock down unpatchable assets, and verify every contractor and device before it touches the process. Backed by real anecdotes from Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and beyond, and aligned with standards like IEC 62443, the session highlights how MEA organizations are leveraging OT-native solutions to achieve safe, resilient operations in the face of evolving threats.
