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

IGEL’s Now & Next® Workspace & Endpoint Security Summit in Dubai

IGEL®, a premier global software company offering the IGEL Adaptive Secure Endpoint Platform™, has recently announced its plans to hold the Now & Next® Workspace & Endpoint Security Summit in Dubai, UAE, on October 21, 2026. This pivotal event is anticipated to bring together clients, partners, and industry leaders to discuss and promote essential topics surrounding endpoint security, resilience, and the deployment of secure working environments.

The summit acts as a continuation of the successful Now & Next® series, which previously visited five European cities, as well as Australia and the United States earlier this year. This initiative comes at a crucial time when many businesses across the Middle East are significantly increasing their investments in areas such as artificial intelligence, cloud services, and digital experiences. Such investments lead to more complex technology environments that require effective management and security measures.

According to the UAE's Cyber Security Council, the nation faces between 90,000 to 200,000 cybersecurity attacks daily. This alarming statistic highlights the mounting pressure for businesses to adapt to rapid digital transformations while ensuring robust cyber resilience and operational continuity. In light of such challenges, there is a heightened demand for advanced control over endpoints, increased resilience against disruptions, and solid strategies to support both existing and emerging work models.

Klaus Oestermann, CEO of IGEL, commented, "The feedback we are receiving from our clients is clear—they are seeking better endpoint control, enhanced resilience during disruptions, and practical pathways to support both existing and future work arrangements." He emphasized that the Now & Next® Summit Roadshow is designed to bring these critical discussions closer to the relevant stakeholders and assist in defining the next phase of endpoint strategy.

The summit is structured into a full day of activities, featuring presentations from IGEL executives and discussions among industry leaders. Notable participants will include customers and partners who will provide valuable insights and expertise, with sponsorship from firms such as Microsoft, Omnissa, and Lenovo. Carsten Thomsen, IGEL’s VP of Sales for Emerging Markets, pointed out, "Dubai is a crucial hub for technology leaders across the Middle East, and the Now & Next® Summit allows us to gather clients, partners, and regional experts to discuss the ongoing challenges they face. The aim is to transform these discussions into actionable ideas that organizations can implement in their unique contexts."

The day's agenda will cover various topics, including keynotes, panel discussions featuring industry executives, and networking opportunities, all set within the Dubai Knowledge Park’s Conference Centre Block 1. The event is open to IT and security decision-makers from companies throughout the UAE and the broader Middle East region.
