The 17th global edition of World Cyber Security Summit is gearing up with the goal of constructing a security framework for organisations in Jordan. The summit is taking place on 15 – 16 August 2022 in Jordan, and features notable speakers including Mohammad Alkhudari, Ira Winkler, Abdulrahman Al-nimari, Prof. Mohand Tahar Kechadi, George Eapen and many more.Amman, Jordan, Aug 11, 2022 - (ACN Newswire via SEAPRWire.com) - The 17th global edition of World Cyber Security Summit will be held under the auspices of H.E. Dr Bisher Al-Khasawneh, Prime Minister of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, and supported by the Ministry of Digital Economy and Entrepreneurship, Jordan. The summit is taking place on 15 – 16 August 2022 at The Ritz-Carlton in Amman, Jordan. World Cyber Security Summit is part of a global series and is brought to Jordan by Trescon, a global business events and consulting firm that specialises in hosting future-tech events across the world.As the country braces for a protracted cyber insecurity, government and organisations are looking for an action plan to mitigate the risks and become resilient to cyber threats. Thus resulting in the announcements of a raft of policies to manage digital vulnerabilities in the recent years. In order for effective implementation of these policies, World Cyber Security Summit will play its part by providing a platform to conduct thorough debates, and deliberations on the proposed cyber security strategies.The summit will host more than 300+ C level attendees, including government officials, Chief Information Security Officers, Chief Information Officers, CEOs and technology leaders from enterprises and government agencies in Jordan to meet, network, and engage with global cyber security experts and technology innovators over the course of two days."The importance of cyber security is being increased and it is not an option for companies and organizations, and having the advanced defence in place is required for critical infrastructure and data. Sensitive data and information protection is the source of trust in organizations," said H.E. Belal Hafnawi, Commissioner - Board Member at Telecommunications Regulatory Commission (TRC-Jordan).Abdulrahman Al-Nimari, VP - Cybersecurity from Saudi Arabia stated, "Remember: compliance to regulations does not mean you are secure, you must have your own risk driven cyber security program and strategy that mitigate your own unique risks."Haidar Fraihat, Cluster Leader - Statistics, Information Society, and Technology at United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Western Asia (ESCWA) says, "Corporations can easily fall into the false sense of security syndrome. Illusioned that their precious data is safe, they may tend to drop guard and invest less in enhancing their data security. Realizing that data and information is the strategic asset to organizations, perhaps more than financial resources, is of paramount importance to keep your competitive edge, security and even survivability. Feeling secure doesn't mean you are really secure."Some of the leading industry experts speaking at the summit include:Scott E. Augenbaum - Retired FBI Supervisory Special Agent; Author; Cybercrime Prevention Trainer, Scott Augenbaum LLCGlen Thomas - Partner - Head of Technology and Cyber Consulting, Grant Thornton, United Arab Emirates Haidar Fraihat - Cluster Leader - Statistics, Information Society, and Technology, United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Western Asia (ESCWA), LebanonJacob Mathew - Head of Information Technology, Government of Abu Dhabi Entity, United Arab EmiratesNicole Lau – Sales Director, Verimatrix, Oslo, NorwayRicoh Danielson – CEO, 1st Responder, an Incident Response Firm, United States Abdullah Faisal Biary – CISO, United Cooperative Assurance, Saudi ArabiaTaha Hussain - Information Security Specialist, Dubai Electricity & Water Authority – DEWA, United Arab Emirates Hossam Elshenraki – Associate Professor, Dubai Police HQ, United Arab Emirates Mona Alshehri - Risk and Compliance Analyst, Saudi Air Navigation Services, Saudi ArabiaDr Ahmed Abd El Hady Mohamed - Director of Quality in General Administration for Quality and Environmental Affairs, Holding Company for Water and Waste Water (HCWW), EgyptE.

Ministry of Agriculture and Food Industries to Improve Food Security for Malaysia ACN Newswire

Ministry of Agriculture and Food Industries to Improve Food Security for Malaysia

August 8, 2022
KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 8, 2022 - (ACN Newswire via SEAPRWire.com) - Ministry of Agriculture and Food Industries (MAFI) has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with PLS Plantations Berhad, a leading agrofood company in Malaysia, to conduct an in-depth study and put forward a proposal for the national food security programme.YBhg Dato' Haslina Binti Abdul Hamid, Secretary-General of MAFI, MAFI Minister YB Datuk Seri Dr. Ronald Kiandee, YAB Prime Minister of Malaysia Dato' Sri Ismail Sabri Bin Yaakob, PLS Plantations' Group Chairman YBhg Tan Sri Mohammed Nazir Bin Abdul Razak, and PLS Plantations' Group Chief Executive Officer Lee Hun Kheng.[L-R]The MoU was officiated by the Prime Minister of Malaysia, Yang Amat Berhormat Dato' Sri Ismail Sabri Bin Yaakob at the biennial Malaysia Agriculture, Horticulture and Agro Tourism (MAHA) 2022. Also present was the Minister of Agriculture and Food Industries, Yang Berhormat (YB) Datuk Seri Dr. Ronald Kiandee, and PLS Plantations' Group Chairman, Yang Berbahagia (YBhg) Tan Sri Mohammed Nazir Bin Abdul Razak. Also in attendance to sign the MoU were YBhg Dato' Haslina Binti Abdul Hamid, Secretary-General of MAFI, and PLS Plantations' Group Chief Executive Officer, Lee Hun Kheng.YB Datuk Seri Dr. Ronald Kiandee said, "Malaysia continues to rise on the Global Food Security Index (GFSI)[1] and is ranked 39th, up from the 43rd spot in 2020[2]. We have performed well with an overall score of 70.1 compared to the previous year of 67.9. The increase in Malaysia's score (compared to the previous year) is the highest increase in score among the 113 countries involved. However, due to multiple issues, compounded by rising population, and labour shortage, Malaysia's food and agriculture imports remains high at around RM55.5 billion[3]. As such, it is crucial for the industry - both public and private - to work closely to further strengthen our food sufficiency throughout the entire supply chain. At the same time, we need to organise ourselves to capitalise on opportunities to generate higher incomes for agriculture frontliners, close the income gap, and improve livelihoods. Securing this future also requires us to attract more youth to participate in the sector and we see public-private partnerships as a key strategy to injecting new programmes, technologies, and platforms that will attract new farmers and participants to the industry. Through these efforts we are confident we can improve our national food security resilience, accessibility, and affordability of quality food, which is in line with our National Food Security Policy (DSMN Action Plan) 2021 - 2025[4]."YBhg. Tan Sri Mohammed Nazir added, "This MoU is a significant milestone for PLS Plantations. We look forward to supporting MAFI and the industry's efforts to further improve the nation's food sufficiency levels. The research and proposal will serve as a baseline that will guide our efforts in rolling out our food security programme. In addition, our newly launched initiatives, the PLS Agropreneur Programme and PLS Integrated Agrotech Park, will contribute to creating a thriving ecosystem where we can attract the experienced and specialised farmers to scale their farms and produce, as well as bring the best and brightest to participate in the industry."The PLS Agropreneur Programme is a platform for new and experienced farmers who are interested to participate in the industry or scale their farms. It offers end-to-end support, from training and development, land lease, offtake network support, as well as financial support and incentives. The PLS Intergated Agrotech Park serves as a platform for collaboration with universities, and agrofood to science and technology companies. He concluded, "Collaboration, specifically knowledge-sharing aided by technology and science have paved the way for the industries to grow and thrive. Likewise, for the agrofood industry, we see these initiatives as a way to elevate the industry, to bring our youth back to the suburbs and villages, and uplift the B40 communities, farmers and indigenous communities."[1] Source: GFSI by The Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU) based in London, United Kingdom https://tinyurl.com/54zydpck[2] Source: MAFI - https://www.mafi.gov.my/en_US/gfsi-2021 [3] Source: Department of Statistics Malaysia 2022 https://tinyurl.com/5xbvnv6r[4] Source: MAFI - https://tinyurl.com/2ccdnp8hAbout PLS Plantations BerhadPLS Plantations was incorporated in Malaysia in 1987 and was listed on the Second Board of Kuala Lumpur Stock Exchange in 1994.
