At GISEC 2026, Sophos will showcase ‘Sophos Fusion’, and its portfolio of AI-powered security, XDR, SIEM and MDR capabilities.
Sophos has announced its participation at GISEC Global 2026 (16-18 September) at Dubai Exhibition Centre, Expo City. The company will showcase how organizations can strengthen cyber resilience in an AI-enabled threat landscape where attacks are becoming faster, more coordinated, and difficult to manage with disconnected security tools.
The focus will be on Sophos Fusion, its AI-native cybersecurity defense system designed to move businesses beyond fragmented security stacks.
Attackers are now using AI and automation to move faster, scale campaigns, and operate across multiple parts of an organization’s environment. Sophos says, disconnected tools cannot keep pace with threats that move this way. Sophos’ 2026 State of Ransomware report found that 79% of ransomware attacks globally involve an identity-based initial access vector, with malicious email and phishing accounting for 26% of attacks, followed by exploited vulnerabilities at 24% and compromised credentials at 23%. In the UAE, organizations that suffered ransomware attacks reported an average recovery cost of US$665,000.
“As AI agents gain greater access to sensitive systems and data, enterprises need security and governance to keep pace with innovation. This demands a coordinated, AI-native defense system that can respond at the speed and scale of today’s threats,” said Harish Chib, Vice President for Emerging Markets, Middle East & Africa at Sophos. “GISEC is an important platform for us to bring these conversations together, engage with customers, partners, policymakers and security leaders, and reinforce our commitment to helping organizations build the resilience they need for the AI era.”
At GISEC 2026, Sophos will also highlight how it is applying agentic AI to strengthen security operations. Visitors can meet the Sophos team and explore its latest AI-native cybersecurity capabilities at Hall 4, Booth D100 during GISEC Global 2026.
