Earlier this month and in line with its ongoing commitment to bring the latest innovations to the Kingdom, Huawei, the world’s leading Smartphone brand, launched the much anticipated HUAWEI P30 Series. As part of the Saudi specific launch, Huawei also provided its fans with the chance to enter a draw to win a new Mini Cooper 2019

Nouf Ali Sahari was given the keys to her all new Mini Cooper 2019 during a ceremony held in Riyadh Parks on the 13th of April, the drew took place under the presence and supervision of a representative from the Riyadh Chamber of Commerce and Industry.

The HUAWEI P30 Series is set to change people’s expectations of smartphone photography by taking mobile photography to a brand-new level, HUAWEI P30 Pro is the highest-rated smartphone camera on DxOMark with an average score of 112. HUAWEI P30 Pro carries a new Leica Quad Camera on the back of the device, including a massive 40MP main camera with a revolutionary 1/1.7-inch SuperSpectrum sensor, a 20MP ultra-wide angle lens, 8MP telephoto camera and HUAWEI Time of Flight (ToF) Camera to unleash the imagination. Unique to the HUAWEI P30 Pro, HUAWEI ToF Camera captures depth-of-field information to deliver accurate image segmentation and uses precise distance measurement to allow for the simulation of multiple levels of bokeh. A 32MP selfie camera mounts the device front and produces AI-beautified pictures.

The 1/1.7-inch HUAWEI SuperSpectrum Sensor looks at light in a fundamentally new way. The RYYB HUAWEI SuperSpectrum Sensor deviates from the traditional RGGB Bayer filter by replacing green pixels with yellow pixels, yielding a high maximum ISO rating of 409,600 on the HUAWEI P30 Pro and 204,800 on the HUAWEI P30.

The SuperZoom Lens takes smartphone zooming capabilities to unprecedented territories. The innovative periscope design enables Huawei to incorporate the telephoto camera into an extremely slim device. The periscope design uses a prism element to bend light at a 90-degree angle. By doing so, the sensor can be fitted in the chassis and support 5x optical zoom, 10x hybrid zoom and a never-before seen 50x digital zoom, bringing the farthest objects closer to the user’s eyes.

The HUAWEI P30 Pro brings a refreshing way to shoot and view videos. HUAWEI Dual-View Video¹ uses multiple cameras simultaneously to capture videos. While shooting, the screen splits into two halves: the lower half shows the wide-angle capture, while the half that’s closer to the front camera shows a close-up shot. This mode, with its capability to capture dual perspectives, lends itself to capturing large-scale events such as sporting matches and concerts where users can adjust magnification levels as well.

[1] Feature will be enabled via HOTA update at a later date.

Equipped with the HUAWEI 1/1.7-inch SuperSpectrum Sensor with a f/1.6 large aperture lens, ISP and Dual-NPU, and supported by the new HUAWEI AIS+OIS solution, the HUAWEI P30 Pro retains great vision at low light and every frame taken across the long exposure is better with superior colors, dynamic range and clarity. Combined, these processes enable an exposure of 3-8 seconds and produce the most stunning images in low-light settings. The “night vision” capability lets the HUAWEI P30 Pro capture videos even in the poorest of lighting conditions.

The HUAWEI P30 Pro also houses a large, high-density 4,200mAh battery, and supports 40W HUAWEI SuperCharge, which gives the device 70 percent charge in 30 minutes. The safety of the technology is certified by TÜV Rheinland. Moreover, HUAWEI P30 Pro supports 15W HUAWEI Wireless Quick Charge, and Wireless Reverse Charge, which enables the device to work as a power bank for selected electronic devices supporting wireless charging.

*Senior Security Decision Makers Gather in Riyadh for IDC Security Roadshow*

International Data Corporation (IDC) today hosted more than 200 of Saudi Arabia’s most influential security decision makers at the Burj Rafal Hotel Kempinski in Riyadh for the 2019 edition of the IDC Security Roadshow. Running under the theme of ‘Business Security: Risk & Resilience’, the finely-tuned event served as an exclusive information-sharing forum and networking platform for senior security executives from the Kingdom’s most prominent enterprises.
Uzair Mujtaba, IDC’s program manager for IT services in Saudi Arabia, opened proceedings by presenting the event’s keynote address, which was titled ‘Security Strategies in the Era of Widespread Innovation’. “Organizations across the Middle East and Africa are increasingly trying to strike a balance between keeping the lights on and improving business agility,” said Mujtaba. “Digital transformation strategies and shifting industry dynamics are driving them to innovate and experiment with new types of technologies, which in turn are creating a complex ecosystem that is beset by new IT security challenges. In this new era, IT security is no longer limited to protecting technology assets; it must also ensure business resiliency. Consequently, as digital transformation initiatives progress, the pressure is mounting on organizations to build business-level strategies for security.”
The agenda featured a series of expert-led sessions that explored the very latest IT security best practices and stressed the need to build effective response plans as part of a comprehensive enterprise-wide security strategy that can adapt to rising threat complexities. The wide-ranging topics discussed over the course of the day included:
* Adaptive Cyber Deception for Early & Accurate Threat Detection & Response
* The Visible Attack Surface – What It Is and Why It Matters
* Preparing a Cyber-Resilience Defense Strategy to Stay One Step Ahead
* Combatting Today’s Advanced Attackers: Key Trends, Predictions, & the Need for Speed
Addressing the growing complexity of security threats as digital transformation becomes increasingly mainstream, Hamza Naqshbandi, IDC’s country manager for Saudi Arabia, believes that Saudi organizations will need to embrace a more pervasive approach to security as they look to align themselves with the core objectives of the Kingdom’s National Transformation Program.
“The benefits of undergoing such transformation are well known,” says Naqshbandi. “However, the trade-off comes in the form of new security vulnerabilities and myriad issues relating to risk and trust as organizations continuously implement new technologies in an effort to meet growing customer demands for a seamless omniexperience. As such, there is a pressing need for security to become more pervasive; it needs to be embedded into the vision of the organization and treated as a core metric. In this era of digital transformation, organizations can no longer settle for standard security solutions; they must move forward by embracing a proactive approach to the issues of defense, protection, mitigation, compliance, trust, and risk.”
IDC’s valued partners for the IDC Security Roadshow 2019 in Riyadh included IBM, Attivo Networks, Skybox Security, MIS, CrowdStrike, and BlackBerry as Platinum Partners; Carbon Black, Tripwire, and HP Inc. (in association with Intel) as Gold Partners; Qualys, Fidelis Cybersecurity, Malwarebytes, Advanced Electronics Company, Checkmarx, and Forcespot (in association with SGBox) as Silver Partners; and Global Knowledge and Lenovo (in association with Intel) as Exhibit Partners.

We wanted to focus on creating an atmosphere for people that will remind them of the good olden days and simplicity of the olden lifestyle within the Middle-Eastern region. The concept of Harat is based a combination of two major factors: which are serving tasteful meals, also providing a unique experience for our customers and a place to enjoy with family and friends, which we believe that is in line with the directives adopted by the Kingdom’s 2030 vision in order to develop its tourism sector and play a grand role as an economic source for the country.”
