One of the main highlights of the 2019 edition of BICSI Middle East and Africa Conference, which took place in Dubai, UAE, last month, was the discussions around the increasing dependence on digital infrastructure.

Keynote speaker Mark Acton, independent consultant and non-exec director, Ekkosense, Chelmsford, Essex, United Kingdom, said that digital infrastructure should be considered as a new utility today, similar to water and electricity.

“The importance of digital infrastructure including data centres to our daily lives cannot be underestimated. However, at the same time, it is also crucial to understand the risk associated with these digital requirements and the implications we face as an industry.”
