3rd Government Cybersecurity Summit 2026
About this event
The 3rd Government Cybersecurity Summit returns to Abu Dhabi on June 9, 2026, continuing a series that has become a key meeting point for public sector security leaders across the Gulf Cooperation Council and the wider Middle East. The event gathers government CISOs, national cybersecurity authority representatives, defence and intelligence officials, critical infrastructure operators, and policy advisors working on digital sovereignty. The agenda spans national cyber strategy, AI-driven threat detection, securing smart city and IoT deployments, protecting critical national infrastructure, supply chain risk, and emerging regulatory frameworks across the region. Given the UAE position as a regional hub for digital government and the heavy state investment in AI and cloud transformation, the conversations carry direct policy weight and frequently shape procurement priorities for the year ahead.
