CEO of DarkMatter reflects on company's first year

International cyber security firm DarkMatter, which is headquartered in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), showcased its first year of achievements with a major presence at the RSA Conference Abu Dhabi 2016.
 
Faisal Al Bannai, DarkMatter founder and CEO, commented on achieving the milestone.
 
“We believe we are at the intersection of the correct time, correct geography and correct outlook to be able to effect real change in cyber security,” Al Bannai said.
 
He went on to mention that, throughout the last 12 months, DarkMatter has taken the stance that the IT sector is outdated. According to Al Banai, the industry needs an overhaul because of global digital transformation.
 
“As such, as a society we need to recalibrate our approach and implementation of cyber security within digital environments in order to sustain our modern way of life,” he said.
 
Al Bannai also thanked the company’s stakeholders for their support.
 
"I would like to thank our stakeholders for having faith in our ability to deliver on our vision to 'protect the future by securing its technologies,' and we look forward to further engagement and success in delivering peace of mind across digital platforms in the years to come,” he said.
