Paramount to address AI cybersecurity challenges at Gartner Security and Risk Management Summit - Middle East Business …

Pradeep Menon, Senior Director at Paramount and an industry expert, will lead a session

titled ‘Tips to Sail Through AI Turbulence’, during which he will address critical AI-related
risks such as ethical governance, AI-ready cybersecurity frameworks and strategies for
transforming AI’s potential to attain real-world results. The session will enable business

leaders to balance innovation with compliance while ensuring effective risk mitigation.

Premchand Kurup, CEO at Paramount, said: “For the past 25 years, we have been closely

monitoring cybersecurity trends to support our customers in the Middle East. Undoubtedly,
AI has the potential to be the most transformative force for enterprises. However, enabling

the power of AI while safeguarding business operations presents significant challenges for
risk and security professionals. AI-driven attacks, data privacy concerns, and legal and

regulatory challenges can lead to severe reputational and financial consequences.”

He added: “To effectively manage these risks, AI adoption must follow a structured,
programmatic approach within a well-defined framework. This requires a four-pillar AI
framework that includes AI governance, AI security, AI-driven cybersecurity and data and

integration security. Our participation at the Gartner Security and Risk Management

Summit will help us raise awareness about these critical challenges and guide businesses
toward the right solutions.”

With the Middle East and Africa AI, Cyber Security and Big Data Analytics Market

projected to register a CAGR of 20.4 per cent between 2025-2030, businesses need to act
decisively to adopt secure AI strategies and protect their critical assets.

During the summit, the company will also offer visitors a first-hand experience of AI in

action, demonstrating its ‘Agentic AI in IAM’ and ‘AI and SOC’ solutions. Furthermore,
visitors will get an opportunity to engage with the company’s cybersecurity specialists for
personalised consultations on secure AI integration, risk mitigation and compliance.

Interactive activities, including quizzes, insightful presentations and exclusive giveaways,

will also be available for visitors.
