Fady Younes, Cybersecurity Director, EMEA Service Providers and MEA at Cisco, emphasized the centrality of individuals as prime targets for cyberattacks and the critical role of awareness, common sense, and a vigilant security approach. Leveraging advanced real-time data analysis technologies enables proactive threat identification to avert potential damage.
