Interview: Maher Jadallah, Vice President, Middle East & North Africa, Tenable | GITEX 2025 Dubai

Join us for an exclusive conversation with Maher Jadallah, Vice President, Middle East & North Africa, Tenable, at GITEX Global 2025 in Dubai — the world’s premier technology and innovation event.

Mr. Jadallah reveals a fundamental shift in cybersecurity: moving from reactive vulnerability management to proactive cyber exposure management. In today’s complex threat landscape spanning cloud, OT, identity systems, and traditional networks, organizations need unified visibility across their entire attack surface to prioritize risks that truly matter to the business.

Key Highlights:
✅ Evolution from vulnerability to exposure management — unified visibility across IT, cloud, OT, and identity
✅ Business-centric risk prioritization — aligning security with critical assets and revenue drivers
✅ AI-powered threat intelligence — predicting exploits and enhancing vulnerability discovery
✅ Beyond compliance — customizing security controls for unique organizational risk profiles
✅ Translating cyber risk into business impact — speaking the language of CXOs
✅ Real-world consequences — how breaches delay financial reporting and erode customer trust
✅ Strategic CISO/CIO role — building business cases that link security to organizational success

This interview unpacks how Tenable leverages AI and machine learning to predict vulnerabilities and enhance risk prioritization, while addressing AI’s dual nature as both a defender’s tool and an attacker’s weapon. Mr. Jadallah also shares critical insights on why compliance is just the baseline, the importance of translating technical risks into business language that C-suite executives understand, and how cybersecurity failures directly impact revenue, reputation, and regulatory standing.

👉 A must-watch for CISOs, CIOs, cybersecurity professionals, and business leaders seeking to align security strategies with business objectives and build resilient, risk-aware organizations.
