Arrive Early & Stand a Chance to Take Home Smart AI Glasses.

META’s cybersecurity agenda is shaped by unprecedented digital acceleration, regulatory dynamism, and the proliferation of advanced threats across IT, OT, and cloud. As organizations embrace AI, platform-centric architectures, and hybrid environments, the attack surface expands and adversaries become more sophisticated—leveraging GenAI, identity compromise, and cyber-physical exploits. At the same time, regulatory mandates around data sovereignty and trust are intensifying. CISOs are challenged to orchestrate holistic defense strategies that unify technology, process, and people: integrating real-time detection, adaptive controls, and continuous compliance, while investing in workforce upskilling and AI augmentation. Achieving resilience in this environment demands a proactive, inclusive approach—balancing innovation, operational continuity, and regulatory alignment across the region’s diverse digital landscape.

Attackers use AI to strike in minutes. To adapt, we must shift our perspective from manual reaction to automated mobilization. This session demonstrates how to utilize a ‘virtual crew’ of AI agents to ingest intelligence, build attack playbooks, simulate threats to find gaps, and mobilize fixes.

Cybersecurity leaders are increasingly challenged to demonstrate how security investment translates into measurable business outcomes. This session explores how organizations can operationalize cybersecurity through outcome-based delivery, quantified cyber risk, and resilience-first prioritization. Moving beyond fragmented tools and isolated initiatives, the discussion will focus on building security models aligned with operational continuity, faster recovery, and measurable risk reduction. Attendees will gain practical perspectives on prioritizing investments based on business impact and strengthening resilience through repeatable, outcome-driven cyber operations.

In a world of increasing threat landscapes – the Data Center becomes the focal point for ensuring that any new Ai initiatives meet the specific requirements of our clients in the UAE and beyond based on their own set of unique Security and Compliance requirements.

In some cases, that means Ai Inferencing and Ai Operations that are completely ON PREM and in some cases even air-gapped as and where needed. The HPE acquisition and integration of Juniper Networks in 2025 plays a key role in realizing these capabilities End to End.

As AI becomes embedded in every security tool, enterprises are drowning in siloed AI engines that don’t share context — and attackers are exploiting the gaps. ManageEngine solves this with a unified platform spanning Endpoint Central, PAM360, Log360, and AD360, all powered by Zoho’s enterprise AI stack Zia, giving security teams one brain across every domain.

End users share real-world experiences implementing secure AI frameworks, focusing on compliance, identity, and network segmentation.​ Panelists will highlight the practical steps taken to align AI initiatives with organizational risk management and regulatory requirements. They will discuss the importance of cross-functional collaboration between security, IT, and business teams to ensure AI deployments are both secure and scalable. The session will also explore how organizations are adapting their security postures to address emerging AI threats and vulnerabilities. Attendees will gain insights into lessons learned and best practices for operationalizing secure AI.​

An interactive, fast-paced crisis simulation where each table acts as the leadership team of a major organization responding to escalating regional instability, cyber threats, misinformation, operational disruption, and executive pressure. Teams must make rapid strategic decisions under uncertainty, balance business and security priorities, and adapt to evolving crisis scenarios in real time. Designed to be engaging, competitive, and highly realistic, the experience focuses on leadership, resilience, communication, and decision-making during chaos.
