The second day of the Cybersecurity Advancement, Innovation, and Technology Conference and Exhibition (C8) continued on Wednesday, organized by the Jordan Design and Development Bureau (JODDB), the National Cyber Security Center, and SOFEX, with broad participation from experts and specialists from brotherly and friendly countries in the fields of cybersecurity and defense technology.Today’s program featured a series of specialized technical panel sessions addressing several vital topics in strengthening cybersecurity. These sessions covered the evolution of artificial intelligence in the next generation of Security Operations Centers, driving digital innovation through secure AI, mechanisms for countering attacks targeting smart metering infrastructure, and the future of Computer Emergency Response Teams. The sessions also examined the risks associated with digital supply chains, the Jordan Electric Power Company’s experience in protecting smart meters, and the role of agent-based artificial intelligence in achieving the Zero Trust model.The sessions also explored the implications of artificial intelligence for the nature of cyber warfare between states, global best practices for securing Operational Technology (OT), the development of Jordan’s National Cybersecurity Framework (JNCSF), along with real-world case studies from the front lines of cyberattacks, challenges associated with industrial control systems, and the importance of research, development, and international partnerships in enhancing the global cybersecurity defense ecosystem.The day also included advanced technical demonstrations presented by participating institutions, highlighting the latest digital solutions and innovative defense systems—reflecting continuous advancements in cybersecurity capabilities and supporting the exchange of expertise among specialized entities.It is worth noting that the 2025 International Armython Competition is being held over three days with the participation of 37 teams from 28 countries, in addition to two observer states. The event continues to reinforce its standing as one of the region’s most prominent specialized cybersecurity competitions, embodying the Kingdom’s commitment to fostering innovation and building advanced digital defense capabilities.
