"Black Hat MEA is no longer just a regional conference. It is a global platform for cybersecurity innovation, leadership, and execution. As a speaker and CyberSeed startup competition judge, I was deeply impressed by the quality of innovation, the ambition of founders, and the speed at which meaningful business conversations turned into action.”
