Governor of Saudi Arabia’s General Authority for Military Industries (GAMI) Eng. Ahmed bin Abdul Aziz Al-Ohali inaugurated the Mobile Exhibition for Awareness of Cybersecurity on Tuesday.

The National Cybersecurity Authority (NCA) is organizing the exhibition, which will be held from October 15 to 16 in Riyadh. Several officials from GAMI and the NCA attended the opening ceremony.

The exhibition features six interactive pavilions designed to enrich visitors' experiences. It highlights key cybersecurity concepts, emphasizes protective behaviors against cyber threats, and provides live simulations of significant cyberattacks affecting individuals and organizations.

The National Cybersecurity Awareness Campaign, held annually in October to coincide with World Cybersecurity Awareness Month, is one of the NCA's strategic initiatives.

It aims to elevate cybersecurity awareness across all segments of society in the Kingdom, reinforce national security values, and educate the public on best practices to protect against evolving cyber threats while promoting collaboration among national entities in the field of cybersecurity.

Apple on Tuesday launched its new generation of the iPad mini packed with AI features including writing tools and an improved Siri assistant, as the iPhone maker races to boost its devices with artificial-intelligence capabilities.

The new iPad mini is powered by Apple's A17 Pro chip, which is used in the iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max models. With a six-core central processing unit, the A17 Pro would boost CPU performance by 30% compared to the current generation iPad minis and is central to running Apple Intelligence, Apple's AI software.

Apple said it would roll out the first set of AI features in the US version of the English language this month through a software update with iPadOS 18.1.

The features will be available for iPads with A17 Pro or M1 chips and later generations, Apple said, adding it will roll out additional features including image-generation tools, Genmoji and ChatGPT-powered capabilities over the next several months.

Apple in September unveiled its long-awaited, AI-boosted iPhone 16 lineup, but with the AI features still in test mode, the company failed to excite some investors while early sales data raised some questions around demand.

Still, research firm Canalys on Monday said the iPhone 16 would help Apple's sales in the fourth quarter and drive momentum into the first half of 2025, after Apple reached a record high third-quarter shipments.

The iPad mini, starting at $499, is available for pre-orders starting on Tuesday and will begin arriving to customers and Apple store locations next week, Apple said.
