The Cyber Leaders Forum at the AICS has drawn several decision-makers from around the world. Mr. Mirza Asrar Baig was a Speaker at the Forum to discuss the topic (Whole of society collaboration to tackle cybercrime). "My concern about cybercrime is the amount of losses and gaps that keep happening and increasing every year. Here I considered addressing cybercrime as a key global pain point, and that's why I built CTM360." he stated. "As an initial step, it is imperative that we collectively, the national entities, the government authorities, the academia, and the private sector, collaborate together to standardize cybersecurity terminology." he continued.

Furthermore, the Block Stage also hosted Mr. Mirza Asrar Baig to speak about his new perspective on Cyber Threat Intelligence.
