Approved ProviderThe heart of the UAE’s critical infrastructure ecosystem.
Energy, industry and intelligence — one emirate.
Government investment in Industry 4.0 and smart manufacturing.
An ideal setting for a dedicated OT cybersecurity summit.
From national policy to industrial resilience.
Securing legacy OT without disrupting operations
Brownfield plants, unsupported controllers and 24/7 availability — sequencing security into environments that cannot stop.
IT/OT convergence without expanding the attack surface
Segmentation, identity, secure remote access and cloud designed so convergence adds visibility, not exposure.
Risk-based OT security for critical infrastructure operators
Translating the CIIP baseline into asset criticality, risk profiles and investment the board can sign off.
Government, regulators and industry on national OT resilience
Information sharing, sector threat intelligence and joint exercises across authorities and operators.
Protecting ICS while maintaining safety and production
Where security controls meet safety instrumented systems, change management and production KPIs.
What effective OT incident response looks like
Playbooks, cross-functional command and recovery of physical processes when engineering and security respond together.
AI that strengthens rather than compromises OT security
Anomaly detection weighed against model security, data integrity and autonomous decision-making in OT.
The 2027 speaker facultyis being assembled.
Regulators, CISOs, OT leaders and plant executives from across the UAE’s critical infrastructure. Announcements roll out ahead of 27 January 2027.

Why OT security became a board-level priority.
Digital Transformation
Isolated operational environments are connecting to enterprise networks, cloud and AI.
IT/OT Convergence
New opportunities. New attack paths.
Critical Infrastructure Protection
CIIP sets baseline security, assurance and enforcement. Cyber becomes operational governance.
Energy Transition
Smart grids, storage, EV infrastructure and digital energy management create new OT estates.
Smart Manufacturing
Connected factories require connected cybersecurity.
AI & Automation
Intelligence moves closer to the plant floor — and must be secured with it.
Six tracks. One operating reality.
From national mandates to board-level OT governance
Protecting the systems that keep the UAE running
Breaking down the IT/OT security divide
Protecting the industrial control layer
When prevention fails
Securing the intelligent industrial environment
One room.The people who keep it running.
A curated senior audience — invited by title, not by badge count. Three cohorts spanning government, the security function and the plant floor, in the same room for one day.
Executive Leadership
Cybersecurity Leadership
Industrial & Engineering
Frameworks you implement on Monday.Not buzzwords you forget by Friday.
