IGEL to Host Now & Next® Summit on Workspace Security in Dubai

IGEL, a global leader in endpoint software solutions, is set to organize a pivotal segment of its Now & Next® summit focusing on workspace and terminal security on October 21, 2026, at Dubai Knowledge Park. This event will bring together customers, partners, and industry leaders to address the pressing issue of endpoint security in today’s rapidly evolving work environment, emphasizing resilience in the face of changing technological landscapes.

As businesses in the Middle East increasingly invest in artificial intelligence, cloud services, and digital experiences, managing and securing these technologies has become paramount. Reports indicate that the UAE faces between 90,000 and 200,000 intrusion attempts daily, highlighting the urgent need for enhanced cybersecurity measures amid the region's swift digital transformation.

"Our clients consistently express the need for stronger control over their endpoints, greater resilience in disruption, and practical support for current and emerging workspace models," shared Klaus Oestermann, CEO of IGEL. This year's summit aims to bring key stakeholders, clients, and ecosystem partners into a collaborative dialogue, assisting them in defining the next phase of their terminal strategies.

The event is part of IGEL's broader Now & Next® series, which has already successfully visited five European cities, along with engagements in Australia and the United States this year. The summit is expected to provide actionable insights and promote discussions on critical issues shaping workplace security and resilience strategies across the region.

Participants will engage in sessions that feature both IGEL leadership and perspectives from ecosystem partners, including major players like Microsoft, Omnissa, and Lenovo. Carsten Thomsen, Vice President of Emerging Markets for IGEL, highlighted Dubai's significance as a technology hub in the Middle East. He noted, "The Now & Next® summit provides a unique opportunity to unite clients, partners, and regional experts in discussing the challenges they face today, transforming those discussions into concrete ideas for businesses to implement within their contexts."

The summit will start in the morning and include networking opportunities, followed by a lunch in Block 1 of the Dubai Knowledge Park conference center and an afternoon executive roundtable. It is geared towards IT and security leaders from UAE businesses and across the Middle East.
