This event will bring together customers, partners, and industry leaders to jointly promote endpoint security, resilience, and the delivery of secure workspaces.
Dubai, United Arab Emirates, October 1, 2026 / PRNewswire / -- IGEL Adaptive Secure Endpoint Platform ™, a global software company providing IGEL ®, announced today that it will bring IGEL Now & Next ® Workspace & Endpoint Security Summit to Dubai, United Arab Emirates, and will hold a showcase event on Dubai Knowledge Park on October 21, 2026. This one-day event will bring together IT and security leaders to discuss endpoint security, resilience, and workspace delivery priorities that are shaping the strategies of businesses in the region.
The Dubai event continues the IGEL flagship Now & Next ® series. Previously, this series has completed roadshows in five European cities this year and events have also been held in Australia and the United States. As organizations in the Middle East increase their investment in artificial intelligence, cloud services, and digital experiences, this event comes at a time when such investments are expanding the technical environments that businesses need to manage and protect.
According to data from the UAE Government Cybersecurity Committee, the country faces over 90,000 to 200,000 attempted intrusions per day, highlighting the security challenges associated with the rapid digital transformation in the region. As these environments become more decentralized and interconnected, organizations are placing greater emphasis on enhancing cyber resilience while maintaining operational continuity through continuous innovation.
IGEL CEO Klaus Oestermann stated: "The information we hear from our customers is consistent: organizations want greater control at the endpoint, higher resilience in the event of disruptions, and a pragmatic approach to support both current and emerging workspace models simultaneously. Now & Next The Summit Roadshow is aimed at bringing these discussions closer, working together with customers and ecosystem partners to help define the next phase of endpoint strategy."
This summit will bring together the management, customers, and ecosystem partners of IGEL to share perspectives on secure endpoint strategies, resilience, and the future of digital work. In addition to the sessions led by IGEL, customers and ecosystem partners will also bring real-world insights and professional expertise. The event sponsors include Microsoft, Omnissa, and Lenovo.
IGEL Vice President of Sales for Emerging Markets in the Middle East, Carsten Thomsen stated: "Dubai is an important meeting place for leaders in Middle Eastern technology, and the Now & Next ® Summit provides us with an opportunity to bring customers, partners, and experts from the region together to address the challenges they are facing today. Our goal is to transform these discussions into practical ideas that organizations can take back to their own environments."
The summit will continue from the morning sessions to the afternoon's executive roundtable discussions and networking lunch, taking place at Dubai Knowledge Park - Conference Centre Block 1. The event is open to businesses IT and security leaders from the United Arab Emirates and the broader Middle East region.
