ISMG-GISEC Partnership to Amplify Middle East Cybersecurity Leadership on the Global Stage
ISMG.Studio’s On-Site Production to Deliver Executive Interviews and Regional Cyber Intelligence to Global Audience
Princeton, NJ – ISMG, a global media organization focused on cybersecurity, IT, OT and artificial intelligence, has been named an official media partner for the 15th edition of the upcoming Gulf Information Security Expo & Conference. GISEC – organized and managed by Dubai World Trade Center – is happening at the Dubai Exhibition Centre, Expo City, from May 5 through 7.
GISEC Global stands as the Middle East and Africa’s largest and most influential cybersecurity event and a key convener of executive, government and critical infrastructure leadership across EMEA. As a platform for policy-shaping dialogue and strategic innovation, GISEC attracts CISOs, national cyber authorities and technology pioneers from across the region and beyond. Its regional authority is reinforced through active partnerships with the UAE Cybersecurity Council, Dubai Electronic Security Center, Ministry of Interior and Dubai Police – making it a cornerstone of the region’s cybersecurity agenda.
Strategic Expansion in a Critical Market
The partnership reflects ISMG’s strategic step in long-term growth in the Middle East, aligning the company with one of the region’s most influential cybersecurity conferences at a crucial time when governments and enterprises are accelerating national cyber resilience initiatives.
“Cybersecurity challenges are intensifying across critical infrastructure, financial services and government sectors throughout the region,” said David Elichman, chief collaboration officer at ISMG. “This collaboration creates a platform for Middle East security leaders to share insights with the international cybersecurity community while extending GISEC’s reach to ISMG’s global audience of more than 2 million subscribers.”
ISMG brings to the partnership deep expertise in cybersecurity intelligence, grounded in threat analysis, executive insight and policy-focused research, alongside a strong track record in executive education and high-level engagement. Through its portfolio of 38 global media properties, the CyberEdBoard community of senior security leaders, and its long-standing role in convening CISOs, policymakers and industry stakeholders, ISMG transforms cybersecurity perspectives into intelligence-driven coverage and strategic insight.
At GISEC, ISMG’s editorial coverage will spotlight the strategic cybersecurity priorities shaping the region’s digital future. From AI risk and quantum readiness to OT protection, cloud security and regulatory resilience, ISMG will surface real-world insights and executive perspectives tied to the Gulf’s most urgent cyber challenges. As regional organizations accelerate digital transformation amid rising threat complexity and evolving policy frameworks, ISMG’s reporting will contextualize these developments for a global security leadership audience.
Three-Phase Coverage Model
ISMG.Studio will deliver comprehensive coverage through three phases. Pre-event content will feature strategic themes, key speakers and policy-relevant issues shaping the agenda. On-site reporting from the expo show floor will include video interviews, capturing executive perspectives and real-time security developments. Post-event content will distill strategic takeaways and regional implications for ISMG’s global audience.
As cybersecurity assumes greater strategic importance across the region, the partnership reinforces the Middle East’s growing influence in global cybersecurity leadership. GISEC Global provides a high-impact platform for regional innovation and policy discourse, while ISMG expands that influence through its global digital channels, executive media capabilities and intelligence-driven coverage.
