Dubai, UAE (29 December 2010)—Senior business and technology leaders will convene at InterContinental Dubai Festival City from 21-22 February 2011 for CACS (Computer Audit, Control and Security) in Dubai, an internationally respected event that features governance, security, assurance and risk management experts from around the world.
