This April and May, InfoTeam International strategically pivoted from our usual European focus to concentrate on the Middle East, recognising the region’s rapid digital transformation and growing demand for high-level cybersecurity dialogue. We were proud to deliver four exclusive CIO & CISO Roundtable Dinners in Dubai and Riyadh, bringing together senior cybersecurity and IT leaders from across the region.

These intimate, closed-door events fostered peer-to-peer discussions on key topics such as compliance with regional regulations, OT and cloud security, identity governance, and the evolving threat landscape. The conversations were candid, practical, and reflective of the challenges and innovations shaping cybersecurity in the Middle East today.

A special thank you to Bjorn Watne, Associate Partner, Chair of the Advisory Board at Tagore, who travelled from Norway to moderate two of our Saudi Arabia sessions. His international expertise and engaging moderation style added significant value to the discussions and helped connect global insights with local priorities.

The sessions highlighted the region’s strong commitment to building cyber resilience, navigating regulatory changes, and enabling secure digital growth through collaboration and innovation.

We extend our heartfelt thanks to all participating CISOs, CIOs, and industry leaders for their contributions and for making these roundtables a true success. As we continue our global series of events, we look forward to further strengthening our presence in the Middle East and fostering meaningful connections among security leaders.

We’re currently seeking cybersecurity service providers and technology vendors interested in partnering with us for our upcoming events in Q3, Q4, and into 2026. If your organisation is looking to engage with senior decision-makers and demonstrate thought leadership across EMEA, we’d love to connect.

Let’s collaborate to shape the future of cybersecurity!
