Event Overview

As the MENA region accelerates ambitious national transformation agendas and large-scale digital infrastructure programs, Operational Technology (OT) has become central to regional resilience, economic stability, and industrial continuity. The rapid digitalisation of energy, utilities, oil & gas, manufacturing, transportation, and smart infrastructure has intensified IT/OT convergence—significantly expanding the attack surface of Critical National Infrastructure (CNI) and elevating OT resilience to a strategic priority across governments and enterprises alike.

Across the Middle East, investments in Operational Technology protection continue to accelerate, driven by regulatory mandates, infrastructure modernisation, and the increasing sophistication of threats targeting industrial environments. As smart cities, giga-industrial projects, and connected ecosystems advance across the region, the demand for intelligence-led, standards-driven, and future-ready OT frameworks has never been greater.

OTSEC MENA 2026 will convene 150+ senior leaders, including Heads of OT, OT Directors, ICS & SCADA experts, industrial automation leaders, regulators, infrastructure operators, and industry pioneers to shape the future of industrial resilience across the region.

Join leading decision-makers and OT professionals from across MENA on 14 September 2026 to address the evolving challenges and opportunities across IT, OT, IoT, IIoT, and IoMT, while strengthening the resilience, reliability, and continuity of Critical Infrastructure at OTSEC MENA 2026.
