About the Event
CYSEC MENA 2026 is a one-day cybersecurity forum taking place on 14 October 2026 in Amwaj Islands, Bahrain. Operating under the theme “Uniting Kingdoms; Securing The Critical Infrastructure,” the event addresses the protection of essential systems and services across the Middle East and North Africa region.
Critical Infrastructure Focus
The forum centres on critical infrastructure security, a domain that encompasses sectors such as energy, utilities, transportation, healthcare and financial services. As these systems become increasingly interconnected and digitised, they present expanding attack surfaces that require coordinated defence strategies spanning national and regional boundaries.
Regional Collaboration
CYSEC MENA 2026 positions itself as a platform for cross-border cooperation on cybersecurity challenges. The event brings together stakeholders from multiple countries to address shared threats and develop collective approaches to infrastructure resilience. This collaborative model reflects the reality that cyber threats frequently cross national boundaries and require coordinated responses.
Who Should Attend
The forum is designed for senior cybersecurity leaders responsible for protecting critical systems, industry professionals developing security solutions, public sector strategists shaping national and regional cyber policy, and organisations seeking cross-border partnerships to strengthen their security posture. Attendees can expect discussions oriented toward converting strategic security objectives into practical, implementable measures.
