Expo 2020 Dubai is teaming up with the UAE-headquartered DarkMatter to deploy advanced cybersecurity technologies that will help safeguard Expo’s digital experience for millions of visitors and 180 country participants
As Expo 2020 Dubai’s Official Cyber Security Provider, DarkMatter is responsible for overseeing the cybersecurity of Expo 2020’s entire digital platform, as well as the applications and data it supports.
With the data and applications of visitors, participating countries, partners, employees and volunteers all supported and inter-connected on its digital platform, Expo 2020 will deploy some of the most advanced and secure technology solutions available.

DarkMatter will provide a wide range of services, from security management and monitoring, to risk assessments, incident response and technical forensics before, during and after Expo 2020.
Mohammed Alhashmi, senior vice-president of innovation and future technology at Expo 2020 Dubai, said, “Cybersecurity is a fast evolving field, so it is important that we collaborate with industry experts like DarkMatter to develop solutions that keep Expo 2020’s digital infrastructure safe and secure.”
