ROSHN Group, the PIF-owned giga-project and Saudi Arabia’s most trusted real estate developer, has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with the Saudi Federation for Cybersecurity, Programming and Drones during LEAP, the Riyadh-based annual technology event, that aims to further national capabilities in the areas of cybersecurity, programming, and drone technology.
Both parties will develop joint initiatives aimed at enhancing the abilities of the Saudi IT and cybersecurity sectors. ROSHN will look to explore the use of drone technologies in its operations, and also participate in SAFSCP’s Bug Rewards Platform (Bug Bounty), which takes a proactive approach to identifying and fixing cybersecurity vulnerabilities, as an initial opening to more joint programs.
LEAP is the Kingdom’s leading technology event, aimed at diversifying and expanding the Saudi economy by connecting global business leaders and tech giants with local companies and talent. Now in its third edition, the four-day event held at the Riyadh Exhibition and Convention Centre had an increasing focus on artificial intelligence, its benefits, and implications.
