Dear Members,

Welcome to the newly spruced up GCC BDI newsletter, where we endeavour to provide you with even more value from our business network.

Each quarter, as well as receiving the usual informative articles based around a major GCC corporate theme, you’ll also find interviews with our founders, corporate affiliates and membership partners who will offer their cumulative years of insight on different regional topics.

We’ve also introduced a CSR section and, each quarter, the GCC BDI newsletter will focus on an NGO as part of our effort to support these organisations and the voluntary work they do. In this issue, we look at Mission to Seafarers, a wonderful organisation that helps to protect the region’s vulnerable sailors.

Voice of a GCC BDI interview – Dr. AbdulRahman Bin Saad AlJadhai

The Saudi change-maker offers exclusive insights into cyber security.

Dr. AbdulRahman Bin Saad AlJadhai serves as Chief Executive Officer at ELM Information Security Company.

Saudi Arabia has its fair share of cyber-attacks given its political and economic role in the region and globally. Therefore, there were wake-up calls throughout the last few years and they have helped both the private and public sectors to be much more prepared. We are now improving our national strategies and regulations to encourage and unify our efforts in this space.
