Amman, June 11 (Petra) – Audit Bureau President Radhi Hamadeen on
Thursday called for enhancing digital trust and developing modern
oversight tools amid the world’s rapid current transformations in the
fields of artificial intelligence, digital transformation, and
cybersecurity.

Hamadeen noted oversight institutions are now required to adopt “more
efficient” methodologies in auditing information systems, data
governance, and managing digital risks.

Hamadeen’s call came during his participation in a panel discussion,
themed: “Building Trust in an Interconnected World: Role of
Government, Industry, and Critical Infrastructure,” as part of the
1st ISACA MENA Conference 2026.

Talking at the event, he said modern oversight is “no longer limited
to traditional financial aspects, but now focuses on assessing
readiness of digital systems, effectiveness of technical controls,
and ability of institutions to manage cyber risks and deal with
emerging threats.”

As for building trust in the digital environment, he said this
process requires “integrated” efforts among government institutions,
the private sector, and specialized professional bodies, particularly
in sectors related to critical infrastructure.

He stated this integration is a “fundamental” element for enhancing
institutional resilience, protecting vital systems and services, and
ensuring the sustainability of digital transformation in a secure and
effective manner.

He noted the Audit Bureau places “great” importance on developing its
institutional and technical capabilities in the areas of information
systems auditing, cybersecurity, and digital risk management.

This vision, he affirms, strengthens its role in protecting public
funds, improving oversight of corporate performance, and supporting
the principles of transparency, accountability, and good governance
in the public sector.

During the two-day conference held in the Dead Sea region, a select
group of experts and specialists in the technology field from Jordan
and the region discussed the future of artificial intelligence,
cybersecurity, digital transformation, technology governance, and
building digital trust.

The event featured specialized discussions tackled the key
challenges and opportunities on accelerating use of AI technologies,
ways to counter AI-driven cyber threats, deception-based
cybersecurity strategies, future of automated security operations and
issues of digital governance and institutional resilience.
