AI-generated summary
The UAE and Middle East are undergoing rapid digital transformation, increasing the complexity of hybrid IT environments and cyber threat surfaces.
The United Arab Emirates and wider Middle East are experiencing rapid digital transformation, with organisations operating increasingly complex hybrid IT environments. Simultaneously, ransomware, identity-based attacks, supply-chain vulnerabilities, and AI-powered cybercrime are becoming more sophisticated. For businesses, the challenge is no longer simply deploying security tools, but maintaining visibility and resilience across cloud, on-premises infrastructure, endpoints, identities, and applications.
The digital identity is now the primary perimeter of defence, not just one control among many. Human, privileged, machine, and application identities span hybrid, multi-cloud, and unmanaged environments that directory-bound tools cannot fully reach. Organisations therefore need directory-independent visibility and control, ensuring access is governed consistently across their entire environment.
AI is a force multiplier on both sides. Attackers use it to create convincing phishing campaigns, evasive malware, and automated reconnaissance. Organisations, meanwhile, can use AI to correlate signals across environments and accelerate detection and response through tools such as Zia Agents.
This year, AI-powered automation is the key focus for ManageEngine at GISEC Global 2026. ManageEngine will showcase Zia Agents, its proprietary agentic AI platform, to demonstrate how IT and security operations can be transformed and made more efficient. Organizations can deploy Zia Agents across ManageEngine’s digital enterprise management suite, where they operate within a secure, privacy-compliant framework, orchestrating and executing tasks end-to-end. On the security front, Zia Agents automate access reviews, alert correlation, investigations, EDR triage, and device diagnostics. This reduces manual effort and enables security teams to focus on critical decisions.
