‘KnowTalks’ inspires with new discussions in

Jordan about AI, cybersecurity, and CSR

October 3, 2025

As part of its ‘KnowTalks’ initiative, the Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Knowledge
Foundation (MBRF), in partnership with the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP),

launched a new series of inspiring discussion sessions in the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan.
Held at the Rainbow Theater, the sessions explored a diverse range of critical topics, including

strategy development, humanity in the age of artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, and
corporate social responsibility (CSR). This initiative aligns with MBRF’s continued commitment
to addressing the knowledge and development challenges faced by nations and to promoting

inclusive and sustainable growth.

The opening session, titled The Human Firewall: Fighting Cybercrime with Awareness, was

presented by Dr. Omran Salem, a cybersecurity expert and lecturer at Al-Zaytoonah University
of Jordan. He explored the critical role of technology in empowering people of determination

and provided a comprehensive overview of the practical aspects of cybersecurity. His discussion
covered key technology-related risks, relevant laws and regulations, and the practical
applications of cybersecurity measures across various sectors, such as smart cities, digital

governance, e-learning, digital media, the Internet of Things (IoT), healthcare, and industry.

The session also shed light on the groups most commonly targeted by cybercriminals and
featured a presentation on frequent hacking techniques, such as social engineering, distributed

denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks, software vulnerabilities, and human error. Attendees were
actively engaged through live demonstrations and real-life scenarios, including examples of

camera hacking and social media account breaches. The session concluded with a set of
practical tips and guidelines aimed at helping individuals protect their personal devices and
accounts.
