Paramount to address AI cybersecurity challenges at Gartner Security and Risk Management Summit - Biz Today
Being one of the leading cybersecurity events in the Middle East region, the summit serves as a
platform for Paramount to showcase its expertise in secure AI frameworks for businesses, aiding

them in using AI effectively for mitigating threats and protecting AI models from getting
poisoned. During its participation, the company will guide enterprises in implementing practical
security frameworks, establishing robust cybersecurity guardrails and utilising AI responsibly

against emerging threats.

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.

Paramount has consistently led the Middle East region’s cybersecurity industry in introducing
international vendors specialising in advanced technologies, including antivirus, multi-factor

authentication, data leak prevention, intrusion detection systems (IDS), identity and access
