Dr. Emad Fahmy, Systems Engineering Director, NETSCOUT Middle East
“At GITEX GLOBAL 2025, NETSCOUT will tackle emerging cybersecurity challenges, particularly the increase in multi-vector DDoS attacks across the Middle East. The company plans to unveil enhancements to its adaptive DDoS protection systems aimed at telecom operators and enterprises grappling with frequent network disruptions. A notable feature is the observability and control interface (OCI), delivered through adaptive threat analytics (ATA). This solution for telecom companies integrates with traffic management systems (TMS) to facilitate real-time threat monitoring and responses.
“Businesses can also leverage it in conjunction with Arbor Edge Defense (AED) for automated safeguards against evolving vulnerabilities. GITEX Global is a prime venue for these live demonstrations, which will showcase how hidden devices can be identified and protected.”
Haider Aziz, GM – META, VAST Data
“Globally, discussions surrounding pilot programs are waning as AI transitions from pilot phases to actual deployment, necessitating fresh perspectives on data management. During GITEX GLOBAL, we will demonstrate how organizations and government bodies can consolidate their data into a single, sovereign platform that provides accurate, scalable, and trustworthy input for AI systems, moving past mere experimentation to achieve tangible results.
“This year, we’re introducing our newly launched VAST AI Operating System to the Middle East, featuring services like InsightEngine for real-time data retrieval, AgentEngine to streamline enterprise AI implementation, and SyncEngine, a comprehensive data catalog and migration utility. These state-of-the-art solutions are engineered to break down data silos and ready data for AI utilization from the outset, no matter its location. With the global exploration of super intelligence, these features are crucial building blocks for the future. GITEX GLOBAL has historically served as a testing ground for digital transformation initiatives across the Middle East and beyond.
“Today, it is also becoming a focal point for global discussions on AI, particularly concerning sovereign systems. We anticipate forward-thinking dialogues here, ranging from practical enterprise adoption to the far-reaching implications of super intelligence, making GITEX a perfect venue for VAST to illustrate the critical role of data infrastructure.”
Osama Alzoubi, VP, MEA, Phosphorus Cybersecurity
“Conversations at GITEX GLOBAL will focus on AI-enhanced defense strategies, frameworks for data protection, and the emergence of sovereign AI infrastructures aimed at decreasing reliance on external systems. With nations increasingly integrating AI into critical infrastructure, cybersecurity is emerging as a primary concern. Phosphorus will showcase its Unified xIoT Security Management Platform, designed to identify, secure, and monitor IoT, OT, IIoT, and IoMT devices. Key functionalities will include device-specific discovery, automated remediation for vulnerabilities, and compliance governance that aligns with standards from the UAE and Saudi Arabia.
“GITEX GLOBAL offers an ideal stage for these demonstrations, uniting government representatives, businesses, and industry experts. Attendees will witness real-time demonstrations of identifying and securing hidden devices, complete with compliance documentation.”
