CISO 50 & Future Security Awards 2025
CISO 50 Forum & Awards 2025 In today's digital landscape, the role of the Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) has evolved dramatically. No longer confined to traditional security functions, the modern-day CISO must balance business and technology demands while navigating an ever-evolving threat landscape. Understanding the new responsibilities they must undertake and stepping up to ever-growing challenges are fundamental to their success. Typically, a CISO oversees four key security pillars: security architecture and engineering, operations, cyber resilience, and regulatory and IT compliance. However, their role has expanded to include responsibilities such as risk and governance, business continuity, identity and access management (IAM), fraud prevention, and more. This broadening of scope underscores the fact that being a CISO isn't just about security—it's about integrating security within the fabric of business operations and strategy. The CISO 50 Forum & Awards brings together top enterprise IT security leaders and decision makers to recognize and celebrate outstanding achievements in cybersecurity. The 2025 edition of this prestigious forum and awards ceremony will honour those who have not only demonstrated excellence in protecting their organizations but have also driven transformative security initiatives that shape the future of cybersecurity. This is not just an event—it's a celebration of the efforts and achievements of the cybersecurity community. Join us at the CISO 50 Forum & Awards 2025 and be part of the shift towards a more secure digital world. Future Security Awards 2025 Celebrating excellence and innovation in the security industry! The security industry has always been in a never-ending race against its adversaries, but in the last few years in particular, the rate of change has accelerated. While companies continue to invest in emerging technologies such as AI and Automation to support digital transformation, adversaries have been leveraging powerful, integrated tools and capabilities with these very same technologies to cause irrevocable loss of critical data and information. The scope of the threat is growing, and no organisation is immune from catastrophic outcomes. In fact, the unfortunate reality is that even today's most sophisticated cyber controls, no matter how effective, will soon be obsolete. The Future Security Awards have been introduced keeping in mind this dynamic threat-security scenario. These awards recognise individuals, businesses, vendors distributors and resellers that have risen above challenges and delivered ground-breaking business value through innovative application of security technologies. The 2025 edition is not just an awards ceremony; it is a celebration of the relentless pursuit of excellence in cybersecurity. As threats continue to evolve and become more sophisticated, it is crucial to recognize and support the innovators who are shaping the future of digital security. Join us in celebrating the achievements and advancements that are paving the way for a safer, more secure world.

Some Dubai chocolate sold in UK may contain banned ingredients, says regulator
Some Dubai style chocolate being sold in the UK retail market may not meet the country's criteria and may contain banned additives or colouring agents, the British regulator Food Standards Agency (FSA) said on Thursday. However, the authority said that 'most Dubai-style chocolate available in the UK are 'safe' to consume for the British consumers. It advised consumers that some products imported under the Dubai chocolate brand from other countries may have banned ingredients, asking consumers to report it to authorities. Dubai chocolate has gone viral globally and companies in some other countries are also producing similar kinds of products. Made popular on TikTok, people have queued for hours to buy chocolate bars in Germany. The chocolate is filled with pistachios and crispy shredded filo pastry, costing around 25 euros in Germany. Earlier this year, a German court asked a supermarket not to sell a product as 'Dubai chocolate', saying the confectionary should be marked with Dubai brand only if it originated from the emirate. Earlier this year, German authorities confiscated 90kg of luxury Dubai chocolate from a woman at Hamburg airport that was subject to hundreds of euros in import duties. 'The vast majority of food in the UK is safe, but some imported Dubai-style chocolate products don't meet our standards and could be a food safety risk, especially for consumers with allergies. If you are looking to buy Dubai-style chocolate, we advise sticking with trusted retailers, like the ones you'd use for your weekly shop, as products are more likely to be made for UK consumers and so are safe to eat,' said Professor Robin May, chief scientific advisor to the FSA. 'As it's difficult for consumers to tell the difference between products made for the UK and those that aren't if you have a food allergy or intolerance, we advise that you do not buy the product unless you're certain it's intended for sale here. UK law requires food labels to highlight any of 14 allergens present in the product, but some imported products may not do this,' he said. The regulator said it is working with local authorities and has identified a number of products that pose a health risk to consumers with allergies. 'Some of these products may also contain additives and colours which aren't allowed on the UK market.' An advisory for consumers in the UK by the regulator said some imported Dubai-style chocolate products may not be intended for sale in the UK and could lack a full ingredients list or allergen labelling. By law, it said, labels must list all ingredients and clearly highlight any of the 14 regulated allergens. 'Products that should not have been imported for sale may not meet the UK's high food safety standards.' The British regulator said it is now studying these products and is working with allergy charities to help raise awareness of the risk with consumers. The FSA pointed out that the food products made to UK standards should have labels in English containing the name of the food (e.g. milk chocolate with pistachio paste filling); a list of ingredients, with allergens emphasised; the weight in grams; expiry date; and the name and address of the UK or EU business. If the food is not from the UK or EU, the name and address of the importer must be included.
