  • Cybersecurity enters the quantum age as Global Quantum X launches at GISEC

    GQX by GITEX to be hosted alongside GISEC Global 2027 in strategic partnership with UAE Cyber Security Council as quantum’s US$2.7 trillion market finds global stage

    Dubai, UAE, 22nd Sep 2026, ZEX PR WIRE — The sell-out success of the 15th edition of GISEC Global, attended by thousands of cyber professionals from over 130 countries on the opening day at the Dubai Exhibition Centre (DEC) has reaffirmed the high international demand for tech collaboration in Dubai, catalysing the launch of a new show uniting the world’s quantum and cybersecurity sectors.

    Global Quantum X (GQX) by GITEX, announced today, will convene governments, quantum technology leaders, national cybersecurity authorities, research institutions, enterprise adopters and investors to explore the technologies, applications and security frameworks shaping a new quantum era that could unlock trillions of dollars’ worth of global economic value.

    GQX 2027 by GITEX is launched in partnership with GISEC Global – among the world’s top three largest cyber intelligence events – and GITEX, the world’s largest AI and tech ecosystem network. GQX 2027 will be hosted alongside GISEC Global 2027 in strategic partnership with UAE Cyber Security Council, converging the rapidly advancing worlds of quantum technology and cybersecurity as governments and businesses prepare for a new era of digital risk and opportunity.

    Preparing for a new quantum era

    The announcement comes as quantum technology moves rapidly from scientific research towards commercial application. According to McKinsey’s Quantum Technology Monitor 2026, one-third of global enterprises now allocate more than US$10 million annually to quantum initiatives, with quantum technologies potentially unlocking US$2.7 trillion in global economic value over the next decade.

    For the cybersecurity community, however, the transition also presents an urgent challenge. The computing capabilities being developed today have the potential to transform industries from financial services and life sciences to logistics and advanced manufacturing, while requiring governments and organisations to rethink how they protect sensitive data, critical infrastructure and digital identities for the decades ahead.

    H.E. Dr Mohamed Al Kuwaiti, Head of the UAE Cyber Security Council, said: “As we welcome the world to GISEC Global’s largest edition yet, the transition to the post-quantum era is one of the most pivotal shifts our industry faces. Meeting it requires the same international collaboration we have championed through this show.

    “Launching Global Quantum X allows us to bring quantum-safe migration, sovereign cryptographic capability and national readiness testing to a truly global stage, and to help governments and enterprises everywhere close the gap between today’s defences and tomorrow’s threats.”

    Building the global quantum ecosystem

    GQX 2027 advances the growing focus on quantum security globally, where post-quantum readiness, sovereign cyber capability and the protection of critical systems form part of the wider Cyber First: The New Digital Order agenda this week at DEC Expo City Dubai.

    GQX formalises and accelerates this momentum, where the quantum technology and cybersecurity communities can address both sides of the transition – accelerating commercial adoption while developing the security, governance and cryptographic capabilities required to support it.

    Trixie LohMirmand, Executive Vice President of inD, organiser of GISEC Global and GQX, said: “Quantum computing has crossed the threshold from scientific promise to commercial strategy, and the pace of that shift is accelerating faster than most enterprises have planned for.

    “The same computing power that will unlock breakthroughs in medicine, materials and finance will also put today’s encryption at risk, which is why quantum and cybersecurity can no longer be dealt with separately. GQX by GITEX at GISEC Global creates a powerful convergence between the best minds and companies developing the next generation of computing and those responsible for securing it.”

    Tech’s next fast-developing frontier

    The introduction of GQX by GITEX alongside GISEC Global 2027 from 4-6 May 2027 at the Dubai Exhibition Centre will accelerate cross-border collaboration and investment into one of technology’s fastest-developing frontiers.

    GQX will focus on an emerging quantum ecosystem spanning quantum computing, quantum-secured communications and next-generation sensing, while its co-location with GISEC Global will create a particular focus on post-quantum security, cryptographic transition, critical infrastructure protection and national quantum readiness.

  • Critical infrastructure, AI security and cyber geopolitics take centre stage on Day 2 of GISEC Global 2026

    From ICS/OT security to autonomous SOCs and cyber diplomacy, experts confront threats redefining national and industrial resilience

    Dubai, UAE, 23rd September 2026, ZEX PR WIRE – Critical infrastructure, AI-powered security operations and the geopolitical dimensions of cyber conflict took centre stage on the second day of GISEC, as government leaders, cybersecurity experts and enterprise practitioners examined how increasingly connected digital environments are changing the nature of national and industrial risk.

       

    Held at Dubai Exhibition Centre (DEC), Expo City Dubai, under the theme Cyber First: The New Digital Order, GISEC Global 2026 is hosted by the UAE Cyber Security, Council with the Dubai Electronic Security Center (DESC) participating as the event’s official Government Cybersecurity Partner. The event is also supported by the Ministry of Interior and Dubai Police. Running until September 18, GISEC Global welcomes participants from 182 countries, serving as a global convergence point for government leaders, national cyber authorities, enterprise CISOs, technology innovators, ethical hackers and the next generation of cybersecurity professionals.

     Critical infrastructure: when cyber risk becomes operational risk

    Day 2 opened with a deep dive into real-world industrial control system (ICS) and operational technology (OT) incidents, examining how vulnerabilities across human-machine interfaces, programmable logic controllers, safety systems and other critical infrastructure can translate into operational and physical consequences.

     The discussion moved beyond traditional perimeter security towards practical, risk-based resilience, with experts emphasising the need to assess cyber exposure against its potential impact on essential operations.

     That challenge was brought to life through demonstrations examining vulnerabilities in digital twins, where manipulated sensor inputs, poisoned models and compromised data feeds can distort the virtual representation of physical assets, potentially creating consequences across energy, oil and gas and other critical sectors.

     Dubai’s own critical infrastructure security mandate also came into focus, with Dubai Electronic Security Center (DESC) leaders examining how the city is strengthening cyber resilience across a fast-moving digital economy.

     As Diamond Sponsor, du Tech also highlighted the growing convergence of cybersecurity, cloud, connectivity and AI as organisations seek to strengthen the resilience of critical infrastructure and digital operations. Through its comprehensive technology ecosystem, du Tech supports government entities and enterprises in securing critical infrastructure, accelerating digital innovation and building future-ready, resilient operations.

     Cyber defence moves at machine speed

    AI-driven security operations emerged as another dominant theme as speakers examined how artificial intelligence is accelerating both attack and defence.

     Sessions explored the emerging blueprint for an AI-powered autonomous security operations centre (SOC), demonstrating how telemetry, threat intelligence, automated triage and AI-guided response can be brought together within an end-to-end detection pipeline. A separate live scenario took participants inside a national OT SOC, where purpose-built agents reconstructed an intrusion moving from IT towards operational technology environments.

     Fady Younes, Managing Director for Cybersecurity, Cisco METAC, said: “As AI and agentic AI accelerate innovation, they are also expanding the scale and complexity of cyber risk. Organisations must secure AI agents with the same rigour applied to people and applications, while using AI-driven defence to keep pace with threats operating at machine speed.”

     A hands-on workshop extended the discussion into enterprise AI agents, examining identity controls, runtime oversight, anomaly detection and autonomous containment as organisations increasingly integrate autonomous systems into business operations.

     AI changes the cybersecurity workforce

    The growing role of AI also raised questions about how the cybersecurity workforce itself must evolve.

     Alex Attumalil, Global Chief Information Security Officer at Under Armour, argued that the industry’s talent gap cannot be addressed through recruitment alone as AI increases the scale and speed of cyber threats. While AI can automate repetitive work and allow security professionals to focus on higher-value decisions, he stressed that human oversight remains critical.

     “Human resources alone aren’t going to be enough. We will never be enough. Relying fully on human resources is not the way forward,” he said.

     Cybersecurity becomes a geopolitical issue

    Beyond technology and operations, Day 2 examined cybersecurity’s expanding role in international relations.

     Government and cybersecurity leaders explored how cyber norms, trust and attribution are shaping international stability as incidents increasingly cross borders, while discussions considered how GCC nations can strengthen their collective voice in global cyber governance.

     The discussion reflected a broader shift across GISEC Global 2026: rather than replacing cybersecurity professionals, AI is changing where human expertise delivers the greatest value, particularly in judgement, governance and complex decision-making.

     The 15th edition of GISEC Global continues on 18 September at Dubai Exhibition Centre, Expo City Dubai, with its final-day conference programme bringing together international cybersecurity decision-makers and specialists to examine the emerging threats, technologies and capabilities shaping the next generation of digital defence.

  • GISEC Global 2026 concludes with quantum resilience, AI security and the next generation of cyber defenders

    Final day confronts post-quantum readiness, AI-enabled cybercrime and operational resilience as established cyber leaders share the stage with a new generation of talent

    Dubai, UAE, September 22, 2026, ZEX PR WIRE — GISEC Global 2026, the Middle East & Africa’s largest and most impactful cybersecurity event, concluded its three-day conference programme at Dubai Exhibition Centre, Expo City Dubai, with the final day turning attention to the next generation of cyber risk and defence – from post-quantum security and AI-enabled cybercrime to operational resilience and emerging cyber talent.

    Organised by inD under the theme Cyber First: The New Digital Order, the 15th edition brought together international cybersecurity leaders, national cyber authorities, critical infrastructure operators, technology experts and emerging talent to examine how organisations and governments can build resilience against a threat landscape being transformed simultaneously by AI, quantum computing and increasingly sophisticated cybercrime.

    From Q-Day to practical quantum readiness

    Quantum resilience emerged as a major final-day theme through the dedicated Quantum Security Summit, where government, industry and technology leaders moved the conversation from the future potential of quantum computing towards the practical challenge of preparing today’s digital infrastructure for post-quantum security.

    Sessions examined global approaches to post-quantum cryptography (PQC) migration, the UAE’s quantum resilience priorities and implementation across critical organisations. Dr Bushra Al Blooshi, Executive Director of Cybersecurity Governance and Risk Management Department at Dubai Electronic Security Center (DESC), examined how nations are developing PQC roadmaps and migration timelines, while Dr Saeed Aldhaheri, Chairman of the Robotics & Automation Society (RAS), explored a proposed roadmap for protecting UAE data and critical digital infrastructure ahead of Q-Day. The programme also brought together experts from TII, ENEC and CPX to examine practical migration challenges across critical entities.

    Dr Saeed Aldhaheri said: “Quantum computing is bringing the need for post-quantum readiness into sharper focus. The UAE must begin migrating to quantum-safe cryptography now,

    strengthening crypto agility, national capabilities and talent to protect sensitive data before quantum threats become a practical reality.”

    The summit broadened the discussion through sessions examining the global response to quantum risk, enterprise migration and post-quantum readiness, including contributions from IBM, Google Cloud and international quantum and cybersecurity specialists.

    A new generation finds the vulnerabilities

    While the Quantum Security Summit looked towards the technologies reshaping tomorrow’s security landscape, the Dark Stage put the spotlight on a new generation already finding vulnerabilities today.

    In Too Young to Hack? Think Again, teenage cybersecurity specialists Bandana Kaur, Security Research Engineer, and Ryen Agil, Junior Cyber Security Engineer, both from India, challenged assumptions around age and expertise in cybersecurity, sharing their experience of identifying vulnerabilities and developing technical skills at the beginning of their careers.

    Their appearance reflected another challenge facing the global cybersecurity industry: developing the next generation of defenders while creating pathways for young talent to apply technical curiosity and offensive-security skills responsibly.

    Following the money as cybercrime becomes AI-enabled

    Financial cybercrime also came into focus through Following the Money: How Law Enforcement Is Redefining the Fight Against Financial Cybercrime, where Yashasvi Yadav, Additional Director General of Police, Maharashtra State Cyber Department, India, and Major Khalid Tahlak, Deputy Director of Cyber & AI Crimes Department for Monitoring and Security Programs, Dubai Police, examined an increasingly organised, cross-border and AI-enabled criminal ecosystem.

    Speakers stressed that speed is critical to disrupting stolen funds before they move across jurisdictions, while AI is increasingly being deployed by law enforcement to analyse data, identify money-mule accounts and detect deepfakes.

    “AI is a double-edged sword… whoever leverages the AI potential better would be the winner in this,” Yadav said.

    Operational resilience under pressure

    Operational resilience moved from discussion to practice through Inside the Compromise: An OT Integrity Tabletop, a two-hour exercise led by Captain John Ballentine and Thomas Plank. Participants were required to assess compromised operational technology systems and make decisions under pressure, demonstrating why critical-infrastructure resilience depends not only on technology but on preparedness, coordination and rapid organisational decision-making.

    Cyber sovereignty in an interconnected world

    On the Critical Infrastructure Stage, Major General Vasileios Chatzidakis of Greece and Lt. Col. Saeed M. AlShebli of the UAE Ministry of Interior, in a discussion moderated by Shaun Waterman, examined whether cyber sovereignty can be achieved in an interconnected world. The discussion highlighted that sovereignty does not necessarily require complete technological independence, while stressing the importance of regional cooperation and public-private partnerships in strengthening national resilience.

    Keeping human judgement at the centre of AI defence

    As AI continued to run across the final-day programme, speakers also examined how security teams can use automation without removing human judgement from critical decisions.

    Prashant Haldankar, Managing Director, Group Chief Information Security Officer, Sekuro, said: “Attackers are already moving at machine speed, and that’s reshaping how we think about

    defence. At Sekuro, we’re exploring how AI can help our teams and our clients keep pace, while making sure human judgement stays at the centre of every decision that matters. Events like GISEC are where we get to test that thinking against a global stage, learning from other regions while sharing what we’re building here in Australia.”

    The human dimension of cyber resilience

    The human dimension of cyber resilience was also explored during Women Defending the Digital World, where Aysha Ahmed BinHaji, Cybersecurity Advisor at the National Cyber Security Center, Bahrain, discussed the value of diverse expertise and frontline experience in critical cybersecurity decisions. With AI accelerating threats while legacy infrastructure faces growing exposure, she emphasised continuous testing, learning from incidents and practical resilience planning. “We don’t focus on tasks. We focus on mission,” she said.

    From young security researchers finding vulnerabilities today to governments and enterprises preparing infrastructure for threats that may only fully materialise years from now, the final-day programme reflected the widening scope of modern cyber defence – and the growing need to combine technology, human expertise and international cooperation.

  • From Threat Visibility to National Resilience: Inside the UAE-Cyble Cybersecurity Partnership

    Nations cannot choose when a cyberattack will come. They can choose how prepared they are when it does.

    Dubai, UAE, September 21st, 2026, ZEX PR WIRE, That principle sits at the heart of a new Memorandum of Understanding between Cyble and the Cyber Security Council of the United Arab Emirates, signed in Dubai during GISEC Global 2026. The collaboration brings together the Council’s national cybersecurity mandate and Cyble’s threat intelligence capabilities around a shared objective: strengthening visibility into emerging threats and supporting a more proactive approach to national cyber defense.

    The shift comes as the threat landscape becomes faster, more distributed, and increasingly difficult to predict. Ransomware operations have evolved into sophisticated criminal ecosystems, phishing infrastructure can be deployed and dismantled rapidly, and automated scanning can identify exposed systems at scale. For governments and critical infrastructure operators, knowing what is happening inside their own environments is no longer enough. Understanding what is developing across the broader threat landscape is becoming equally important.

    This is where intelligence-led defense takes on greater significance.

    Threat signals rarely appear in one place. A compromised credential may surface alongside phishing infrastructure. A vulnerability may be discussed in underground communities before exploitation begins. A threat actor may reveal campaign indicators across multiple digital channels. Individually, these signals can appear disconnected. Correlated together, they can provide valuable context around who is behind an activity, what they are targeting, and how a campaign may be developing.

    “This is not just a partnership announcement. It is a strategic validation of Cyble’s capabilities at the national cybersecurity level and potentially a gateway to the UAE government and critical-infrastructure ecosystem,” said Beenu Arora, CEO and Co-Founder of Cyble. “The collaboration shows the trust placed in our threat intelligence platform and reflects the growing importance of proactive, intelligence-led defense in protecting nations against increasingly sophisticated cyber threats.”

    For the UAE, the partnership aligns with a broader focus on strengthening national cyber resilience through advanced intelligence and proactive defense. The collaboration reflects the Council’s emphasis on improving the country’s ability to anticipate emerging threats, strengthen digital infrastructure, and maintain a high level of cybersecurity readiness.

    H.E. Dr. Mohamed Al Kuwaiti, Head of Cyber Security for the UAE, highlighted the importance of combining advanced threat intelligence with proactive defense as the UAE continues to strengthen its national cybersecurity posture. The MOU reflects a shared commitment to safeguarding the nation’s digital infrastructure while strengthening its ability to identify and respond to evolving threats.

    Turning Fragmented Signals into Actionable Intelligence

    At the center of Cyble’s capabilities is Cyble Vision, an AI-driven SaaS platform powered by BlazeAI and designed to deliver unified threat intelligence across digital, physical, and brand ecosystems.

    The value of that approach lies in correlation. A single indicator may provide limited context, but multiple related signals can reveal a much broader threat picture. Connecting leaked credentials with phishing infrastructure, underground activity, exposed assets, or indicators associated with an active campaign can help security teams better understand the nature and potential scope of a threat.

    For organizations operating at national scale, that broader visibility can be particularly important. Government services, financial systems, enterprises, and critical infrastructure are increasingly interconnected, creating an environment where cyber risks can extend beyond individual organizations and sectors.

    The UAE has continued to invest in its digital economy and cybersecurity capabilities, making resilience across this interconnected ecosystem a strategic priority. The Cyble partnership adds another layer to that effort by connecting national cybersecurity objectives with intelligence from the wider threat landscape.

    For Cyble, the MoU represents another step in its growing engagement across the UAE and the broader Middle East cybersecurity ecosystem. For the UAE Cyber Security Council, it reinforces the role of timely, contextual intelligence in strengthening national readiness.

    The message is clear: modern cyber defense is not only about responding when an incident occurs. It is about improving visibility, connecting the signals, understanding the risk, and creating more opportunities to act before threats escalate.

    In an environment where cyber threats can move faster than traditional defenses, seeing earlier can be the first step toward defending better.

  • PayitFast Partners with Zameera to Bring Ultra-Luxury Travel to Members

    Dubai, UAE, September 16th, 2026, ZEX PR WIRE – Zameera, a global ultra-luxury travel company curating extraordinary experiences for ultra-high-net-worth clients, and PayitFast, a digital payments platform, today announced the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding between Zameera and Verati, PayitFast’s dedicated lifestyle and concierge platform.

    The partnership will bring a curated selection of Zameera’s ultra-luxury travel experiences to PayitFast members through Verati, giving members access to unique destinations and rare-access adventures. The initial selection includes some of Zameera’s most distinctive journeys, among them a private safari camp on Kenya’s Maasai Mara, a heli-skiing week beneath Iceland’s midnight sun, and a two-part journey through Saudi Arabia’s Red Sea coastline, each one reflecting the same standard of curation the Zameera name is built on.

    The agreement reflects a broader shift in how premium digital platforms extend value to their members, moving beyond payments and rates toward genuine, curated access. Through Verati, PayitFast members can access something historically reserved for private banking relationships and personal introductions. For Zameera, it opens a new, high-intent distribution channel.

    The companies will work together on platform integration, service onboarding, and joint marketing initiatives in the lead-up to launch, applying their respective standards to ensure a seamless client experience from discovery through to booking. The partnership will be delivered through Verati and made available to PayitFast members as part of the broader PayitFast ecosystem. 

    “Ultra-luxury travel has always depended on trust, on knowing that what you are being offered has actually been vetted by someone with real judgment. Bringing our catalogue to PayitFast’s members means extending that same standard to a new audience of high-net-worth clients, exactly the traveler Zameera was built for,” said Sebastian Taskila, Chief Executive Officer of Zameera.

    “At PayitFast, we are building an ecosystem that delivers meaningful value beyond payments. Through Verati, we are bringing together exceptional travel, hospitality and lifestyle partners to create unique experiences for our members. Zameera’s reputation for curating world-class journeys makes them a natural partner, and we are excited to make these experiences available to our growing member base,” said Catherine Thin Nwe Nyein, Group Partnership Director of PayitFast.

    Both companies will share further details on member access and launch timing in the coming months as the integration progresses.

  • CentFX Recognized as Best Execution Platform at Money Expo India 2026

    Zero-spread ECN broker honored at India’s largest trading and investing expo, where it exhibited as a Titanium Sponsor

    Mumbai, India, September 16th, 2026– CentFX, a globally regulated multi-asset broker serving clients in more than 100 countries, received the Best Execution Platform 2026 award at Money Expo India, held Aug. 29–30 at the Jio World Convention Centre in Mumbai.

    The award recognizes the broker’s ECN execution model, built around zero-spread pricing and low-latency order routing, and was presented by HQMENA, a financial media and events group and the organizer of Money Expo India.

    The recognition comes as CentFX expands its presence across South Asia through a growing partner network, new introducing broker relationships, and localized client support. The company exhibited at the event as a Titanium Sponsor at Booth No. 13, one of the principal stands on the exhibition floor.

    “Receiving the Best Execution Platform award is a recognition of where we have chosen to invest as a business,” said the Chief Executive Officer of CentFX. “Execution is the part of a broker’s offering that traders feel on every single order, and it is the part that is hardest to fake. We have built our pricing and routing around that principle, and to have it recognized in India — a market where traders are increasingly discerning about where and how their orders are filled — is significant for us.” 

    According to the company, CentFX provides ECN pricing from 0.0 pips with an average order execution speed of 0.04 seconds across more than 2,100 instruments spanning Forex, indices, commodities, and other asset classes. Clients access the markets through the company’s proprietary trading application or MetaTrader 5 on desktop and mobile, supported by multilingual platform coverage including Hindi and Bengali.

    Now in its fifth edition, Money Expo India is the country’s largest trading and investing expo, according to the organizer. The event brought together more than 20,000 attendees, 1,000 companies, 300 exhibitors and 200 speakers representing more than 30 countries.

    The award was accepted on behalf of CentFX by the CentFX Team, who led the company’s delegation at the event. Across the two days, the CentFX stand hosted platform demonstrations, on-site account walkthroughs, and partnership discussions with introducing brokers and affiliates from across the region.

    The recognition comes amid continued growth in trading and investing participation across India, where demand is rising for transparent pricing, dependable order execution, and educational resources suited to participants at every level of experience. CentFX operates CentFX Academy, which provides video courses, eBooks, trading calculators, and market analysis materials to clients at no cost, and the company has indicated it will continue investing across these areas as it develops its partnerships and market presence in the region.
