Dubai – October 01, 2026 -- IGEL, a global software company behind the IGEL Adaptive Secure Endpoint Platform, will host its Now & Next Workspace & Endpoint Security Summit at Dubai Knowledge Park on October 21, 2026, as organizations across the UAE face between 90,000 and 200,000 cyberattack attempts daily, according to the UAE Government Cybersecurity Council.
UAE cyberattack volumes drive enterprise focus on endpoint resilience
The one-day program will gather IT and security leaders to address endpoint security, operational resilience, and secure workspace delivery as regional enterprises expand investment in artificial intelligence, cloud services, and digital experiences. The growing complexity of these environments has widened the attack surface organizations must defend, according to IGEL.
Dubai event extends roadshow following European, Australian and U.S. stops
The Dubai summit follows a five-city European roadshow earlier in 2026, along with prior events in Australia and the United States, marking continued geographic expansion of IGEL's Now & Next series into the Middle East.
Microsoft, Omnissa and Lenovo join as event sponsors
The summit will feature IGEL leaders alongside customers and ecosystem partners, including sponsors Microsoft, Omnissa, and Lenovo, who will contribute real-world perspectives on secure endpoint strategy and the future of digital work. Sessions run from morning presentations through an afternoon executive panel and networking lunch at the Dubai Knowledge Park Conference Centre, Block 1.
"What we are hearing from customers is consistent: organizations want stronger control at the endpoint, greater resilience when disruption occurs, and a practical path to support both current and emerging workspace models," said Klaus Oestermann, CEO of IGEL.
Carsten Thomsen, VP of Sales for Emerging Markets at IGEL, said Dubai serves as a key meeting point for regional technology leaders, with the summit designed to convert discussions into practical strategies attendees can apply within their own organizations.
Attendance is open to enterprise IT and security leaders across the UAE and broader Middle East region.
