About DIFC and the DFSA Cyber Risk Management Guidelines
The Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC) is a leading global financial hub that upholds the highest standards of governance, integrity, and innovation. To safeguard its regulated entities against evolving digital threats, the DIFC has introduced the Cyber Risk Management Guidelines — a comprehensive set of guidelines designed to strengthen cybersecurity resilience, ensure robust governance, and promote proactive risk management across the financial ecosystem. The guideline emphasizes continuous monitoring, incident preparedness, and alignment with global best practices to maintain trust and operational security within the Centre.
Crowe UAE is pleased to invite you to an exclusive seminar cum workshop on
“SOC: Safeguarding the Financial Sector from Modern Cyber Risks”.
What Is a Security Operations Center (SOC)?
A Security Operations Center (SOC) is a centralized unit where cybersecurity specialists continuously monitor, analyze, and respond to threats in real time. Equipped with advanced SIEM (Security Information and Event Management) systems, threat intelligence platforms, and automated response tools, our SOC enables organizations to quickly detect and contain cyberattacks, identify vulnerabilities before they are exploited, prevent costly data breaches, and ensure ongoing regulatory compliance.
This focused session aims to enhance understanding of Security Operations Centres (SOC) and their crucial role in protecting the financial sector against evolving cyber threats. The workshop will provide practical insights through case studies, live demonstrations, and an overview of DIFC Cyber Risk Management Guidelines.
