Gitex: Bahrain will use AI to its advantage in the public and private sectors



As the Middle East and the UAE experience a digital transformation, San Francisco-based cybersecurity startup Splunk, which is expected to be acquired by IT giant Cisco Systems in an all-cash deal worth $28 billion, reaffirms its commitment to making investments in the area. Gary Steele, CEO of Splunk, saw the significant prospects brought forth by the Middle East's digital transformation. During an interview at Gitex Global in Dubai, he emphasized the strategic significance of the company in the area and its partnership with partners to strengthen the resilience of digital systems.

Steele also emphasized the growing importance of machine learning and artificial intelligence (AI) in the Middle East, pointing out how these technologies improve digital resilience and provide companies a competitive edge. He applauded the area's aspirations to use AI and machine intelligence, noting the possibility of significant breakthroughs in digital resilience.

By 2030, it is anticipated that the Middle East's cybersecurity market will
grow to $31 billion due to efforts by businesses and governments to protect critical infrastructure. Through the provision of a unified view of data and sophisticated threat detection, Cisco's acquisition of Splunk is anticipated to strengthen its cybersecurity capabilities, notably in the area of security information and event management (SIEM). Cisco's cybersecurity arsenal will be further strengthened by Splunk's ability to leverage data and AI to boost cybersecurity solutions for its clients.

Sky Care: How the UAE’s First Hospital Vertiport is Redefining Emergency Response

  Imagine a critical patient, a time-sensitive organ for transplant, or a specialist medical team needed across a bustling city. On the ground, traffic is a formidable adversary, where every minute lost can alter outcomes. Now, imagine that same journey taking minutes instead of an hour, not by navigating the roads, but by soaring gracefully above them. This is not a scene from a sci-fi film; it is the new reality in the United Arab Emirates. In a landmark move that solidifies its position on the global stage of innovation, the UAE has officially launched the nation’s — and the region’s — first hospital-based vertiport at Cleveland Clinic Abu Dhabi. This isn’t just a helipad with a new name. It is the cornerstone of a fully integrated, city-wide advanced air mobility (AAM) ecosystem, marking a profound convergence of cutting-edge aviation, AI-driven healthcare, and sustainable infrastructure.

Exposing the Brotherhood: Why Jordan’s Terror Cell Bust Must Spark a Global Policy Shift

 The recent dismantling of a Muslim Brotherhood-affiliated terror cell in Jordan should not be seen as just a national security success—it must be a turning point in how the international community views and responds to the threat posed by the Brotherhood. Jordanian security forces uncovered an elaborate network of terrorists trained in Lebanon and backed by foreign interests. Their mission: to launch attacks using rockets and drones, destabilizing the Kingdom and spreading fear among civilians. This is not the work of activists or political dissidents—this is terrorism, plain and simple. For too long, the Muslim Brotherhood has operated under a false image of moderation, cleverly navigating between political activism and violent extremism. But the truth is clear: the Brotherhood is the ideological engine room of jihadist terrorism. Its members, affiliates, and offshoots have inspired and directed acts of violence from North Africa to the Gulf—and now, once again, in Jordan. Govern...

UK Business Migration to the UAE: An Economic Transformation Set to Triple by 2035

  A significant realignment is underway in the global business landscape. The corridor between the United Kingdom and the United Arab Emirates is experiencing a dramatic surge in traffic, not of tourists, but of companies, entrepreneurs, and capital. Projections indicate that the number of UK businesses operating in the UAE is on a trajectory to triple by the year 2035. This is not a fleeting trend but a strategic migration fueled by a powerful combination of economic foresight and pragmatic policy. For UK businesses, the appeal is clear and compelling. The UAE offers a starkly contrasting environment to the complexities of the European market post-Brexit. The cornerstone of this appeal is a favourable tax regime, featuring zero percent income tax and a competitive corporate tax structure. This financial efficiency is coupled with groundbreaking reforms that allow for one hundred percent foreign ownership of mainland companies, giving investors full control over their ventures. The...
