Meet Illumio at GISEC Global 2026
Every day, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) blocks around 600,000 cyberattacks through its national cyber defenses. That’s more than 400 attempts a minute, aimed at government platforms, banks, airports, and energy networks.
Dr. Mohamed Al Kuwaiti, who chairs the UAE Cyber Security Council, has warned that attackers are now using AI to make those campaigns faster and harder to spot.
The blocked attacks are the good news. The handful that get through are the ones that decide whether a team spends the next week quietly containing an incident or explaining a very public outage. Closing that gap is the whole point of breach containment, and it’s what we’re bringing to Dubai this September.
Illumio will be at GISEC Global 2026 on 16–18 September 2026 at the Dubai Exhibition Centre, Expo City, in Hall 1, booth C30. Here’s everything you need to know before you go.
Visit Illumio at Hall 1 booth C30
At booth C30, our team will be running live demos of the Illumio platform, which was just named a Leader and a Customer Favorite in The Forrester Wave™: Microsegmentation Solutions, Q3 2026.
Come see how you can uncover hidden attack paths, rank the risks that matter, and stop threats from spreading across hybrid multi-cloud environments.
At the booth, you can:
- See live demos of Illumio Segmentation and Illumio Insights.
- Explore innovations and integrations from our technology partners.
- Hear how teams like yours are reducing risk, improving compliance, and simplifying security operations.
What we’re showing at GISEC
Everything we’re showing sits on the Illumio platform. Breaches happen, so the job is to keep them small.
- Illumio Segmentation limits how far an attacker can travel once inside, enforcing microsegmentation across workloads, endpoints, and hybrid cloud infrastructure.
- Illumio Insights adds real-time intelligence on top, so you can see, prioritize, and shut down risk across your hybrid environment.
If you only have time for one demo, make it Insights. It runs on the Illumio AI security graph and gives security teams a live picture of how everything in their environment is communicating. It surfaces lateral movement risks, detects attacks in progress, and lets teams contain threats at cloud scale with a single click.
Patching alone can’t keep pace with AI-generated attacks. Together, Segmentation and Insights turn visibility into cyber resilience.
Why you should attend GISEC Global 2026
GISEC Global is the largest cybersecurity event in the Middle East and Africa. This year’s event brings together more than 25,000 InfoSec leaders, CISOs, and ethical hackers from over 180 countries.
A few reasons the trip earns its place on your calendar:
- Meet the people shaping regional security. There will be thousands of practitioners, CISOs, and government leaders in one hall for three days.
- See what’s new. Learn about AI security, cloud security, threat detection, network security, and critical infrastructure protection, all through live demos and expert sessions.
- Put your defenses to the test. Hands-on workshops, live cyber drills, and Capture-the-Flag challenges led by global experts let your team practice against real attack scenarios.

Plan your visit to GISEC Global 2026
Attack volumes are climbing, AI is compressing the window between a disclosed vulnerability and a working exploit, and critical infrastructure is squarely in the crosshairs.
Every security team is fielding the same question from its board right now: if something gets in, how far can it go?
That question is the reason to come to GISEC Global. Understand where security is heading, and see what breach containment looks like in an environment that resembles your own.
Come find us at Hall 1 booth C30, and let’s talk about keeping the next breach from becoming a disaster.
