UAE Cybersecurity Market Set to Double by 2030, Placing AI at the Forefront of Intersec 2026
The cybersecurity market in the United Arab Emirates is experiencing rapid growth, projected to surge from $620 million in 2024 to a staggering $1.29 billion by 2030. Reflecting this dynamic landscape, the Intersec 2026 event will place significant emphasis on artificial intelligence, post-quantum resilience, and robust digital risk governance strategies.
InCyber Briefing at Intersec 2026
The InCyber Briefing, a key component of Intersec scheduled for January 12-14, 2026, in Dubai, will gather security leaders, Chief Information Security Officers (CISOs), and decision-makers navigating an era of unprecedented technological advancement. A highlight of the briefing will be a presentation by Luqman Kondeth, Cybersecurity Director at NYU Abu Dhabi. Kondeth will introduce a novel approach to AI governance, employing a parable to illustrate the critical balance needed between innovation, human oversight, and comprehensive risk management. He advocates for organizations to structure their AI models around three essential lines of defense: operational testing, bias and accuracy measurements, and internal audits to ensure strict compliance.
The Intersec 2026 event and the InCyber Briefing demonstrate the UAE’s commitment to staying ahead of emerging cybersecurity threats. By focusing on AI governance, resilience, and risk management, the UAE aims to foster a secure and innovative digital environment for businesses and individuals alike.
