This week, Riyadh became the epic enter of global security dialogue. Under the patronage of the Ministry of Interior and in collaboration with leading national and international partners, the Future Security Summit 2025 convened key decision-makers, security innovators, and global thought leaders to chart a course for what lies ahead.

Why HARIS?

HARIS exists to augment expert judgment, not replace it. Built for secure environments and leadership contexts, HARIS supports the Chairperson by:

• Context in real time: Summaries, key takeaways, and next-step checklists.
• Operational discipline: Timekeeping, agenda guidance, and incident-ready prompts.
• Data integrity: Privacy-first retrieval and transparent governance.
• Decision support: Option framing, implications, and accountability cues.

Design principles: Human-in-the-loop by default, ethical AI guardrails, auditability, and minimal-necessary data access.

Opening the Summit—Together

The Chairperson and HARIS opened Day 1 with a simple commitment: outcomes over optics. We framed the day around three imperatives:

1. Integrate by design — fuse physical, cyber, and human layers using open, interoperable standards.
2. Collaborate at speed — align doctrine, share intelligence, and move from siloed work to joint operations.
3. Elevate talent — blend veteran expertise with digital-native capability; invest in the next generation.
