The workshop will be held in collaboration with MIS and ISI, leading American companies in information, networks and database security. The event will conclude with a virtual debate led by noted information security consultant Ken Cutler between two teams of network specialists and hackers. The participants will analyse the latest vulnerability, auditing, testing and hacking methods. They will also discuss solutions and security criteria to reduce the possible invasions in classified, economic and financial systems and networks to counter hacking. The interactive virtual debate is believed to be the first of its kind in the Middle East. Those attending will include representatives from the GCC countries and UAE organisations such as the Armed Forces, police, banks and private companies. The Etisalat Academy recently reached several agreements with leading American and European information security companies to issue four specialised diplomas. These diplomas pertain to network managers, database administrators and IT executives. Meanwhile, the academy is also preparing its second international conference on "computer forensics and decision-making systems" to be held in Dubai in October.
