Jordan Daily – The Faculty of Information Technology at University of Petra participated in the Cybersecurity Progress, Innovation, and Technology Conference and Exhibition, “C8 2025”.
The conference was held under the patronage of His Royal Highness Crown Prince Hussein bin Abdullah II and was attended by University of Petra President, Prof. Dr. Rami Abdel Rahim, and the Dean of the Faculty of Information Technology, Prof. Dr. Wael Hadi.
At its dedicated booth, the university presented the “Sygma” project, developed by faculty members Dr. Abdel Karim Al-Banna and Dr. Mohammed Arafa. The project is a large language model tailored for the retail and banking sectors in Jordan and has received initial funding.
The faculty students presented the “Smart SIEM” project, an intelligent security system that collects logs from multiple sources and analyzes them using machine learning and the MITRE ATT&CK framework to predict cyberattacks before they occur.
Students also showcased the “NeuroSeekers” project, an innovative solution that employs functional MRI (fMRI) and artificial intelligence to reconstruct images that a person is thinking of, providing futuristic applications in forensic investigation and criminal justice.
Additionally, they introduced a non-invasive technique for treating Parkinson’s disease using vibrational stimulation through the fingertips. This technique shows promising results comparable to deep brain stimulation (DBS) without the need for surgical intervention.
The conference serves as a regional platform specializing in cybersecurity and was organized by the National Cybersecurity Center, the Jordanian Center for Design and Development (JODDB), and SOFEX Jordan.
