Vulnerability Management Conference
مؤتمر إدارة الثغرات الأمنية

24-25 January 2026
Doubletree by Hilton, Financial District, Riyadh

Overview
In today’s increasingly connected digital landscape, organizations face a relentless wave of cyber threats targeting vulnerabilities in their systems, applications, and infrastructure. As Saudi Arabia advances toward Vision 2030 with a growing reliance on cloud computing, smart technologies, and digital transformation, proactive vulnerability management is no longer optional—it is essential.

The Saudi Vulnerability Management Conference brings together national cybersecurity leaders, CISOs, SOC managers, IT risk professionals, and industry experts to explore advanced practices and technologies in identifying, prioritizing, and remediating vulnerabilities. The conference will serve as a platform for knowledge exchange, hands-on learning, and strategic dialogue on the evolving landscape of threat and vulnerability management.Through keynote speeches, real-world case studies, expert-led panels, and live tool demonstrations, the conference will equip attendees with actionable insights and proven frameworks to strengthen their cyber defense posture. Whether in government, finance, oil & gas, healthcare, or critical infrastructure, vulnerability management remains a cornerstone of digital resilience.Join us as we shape a safer, more secure digital future for Saudi Arabia and beyond.

Conference Objectives

  1. Promote a Risk-Based Approach to Vulnerability Management
    Encourage organizations to shift from reactive patching to proactive, risk-prioritized vulnerability assessment and mitigation.
  2. Strengthen National Cyber Resilience
    Support Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 cybersecurity goals by fostering stronger vulnerability governance across critical sectors including government, finance, energy, and healthcare.
  3. Facilitate Knowledge Sharing and Collaboration
    Create a platform for cybersecurity professionals, regulators, and solution providers to exchange best practices, tools, and real-world lessons in vulnerability management.
