Dragos opens Dubai office as it reinforces regional commitment at GISEC 2022

Dragos, a provider of cybersecurity solutions for industrial control systems (ICS) and operational technology (OT) environments, used its first appearance at GISEC 2022 to announce the opening of its UAE office in Dubai.

The announcement follows Dragos’ expansion in both the UAE and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in November 2021 and sends a strong signal of the company’s commitment to the UAE, its government, its business community, and its people. Dragos’s focus on protecting the industrial sector in the region supports UAE initiatives such as “Operation 300 billion”, which calls for the sector’s GDP contribution to leap from US$36 billion to US$82 billion or 300 billion dirhams by 2031.

“We stand ready as partners with the UAE industrial community to protect people and make the industrial community safer from cyber threats while the country’s innovators also pursue digital transformation,” said Robert M. Lee, CEO and Co-founder, Dragos. “As the UAE’s industrial sector plays an increasingly pivotal role in GDP growth, ICS/OT cybersecurity is more critical than ever in the hyperconnected world in which this change unfolds.”

Included in Dragos’s new office, located in the Dubai Internet City Innovation Hub, is space for the company’s rich array of local OT cybersecurity talent, including incident response, penetration, and threat intelligence professionals.
