Overview

Join us for the next free member session in Dubai where we have a full and diverse programme for your CPD member session. Aside of gaining formal CPD, this will also be a great opportunity to catch up with other UAE based professionals, following the summer.

In recent years, the real estate industry has increasingly become a target of cyber threats.  Real estate companies store a lot of personal data including from financial transactions.  While building technologies help us manage our properties more efficiently by minimizing energy use, and providing convenience to residents, cloud systems are more vulnerable to cyber-attacks.  As the adoption of building technologies continues to grow, so should efforts to protect systems and data.  Waqar Hasan, CPM, PCAM, Founder and CEO of Ithiad will address how to identify, reduce, and avoid Cyber Risk in Real Estate Management.
