Global cybersecurity firm Ampcus Cyber has launched the CISO Intelligence Council in Dubai — an invitation-only platform bringing together the region’s top security executives to tackle the Middle East’s fast-growing cyber threat landscape.
The launch marks the Council’s first presence in the Middle East, and arrives at a critical moment. Organisations in the region now face the highest breach costs globally, with the average cybersecurity incident costing USD 7.29 million. As smart cities, fintech, AI, and critical infrastructure scale rapidly across the UAE and Saudi Arabia, the risk is only climbing.
Built with CISOs, not just for them
What sets the CISO Intelligence Council apart is its design. Rather than another conference circuit, it’s a structured peer network built around how security leaders actually work, sharing live intelligence, collaborating on defence strategies, and shaping governance at the board level.
Members get access to quarterly roundtables, privileged threat intelligence briefings, early-release compliance frameworks, and a safe space for CISO-to-CISO problem solving. There are also leadership publications and podcasts, authored by members themselves.
Membership is by invitation only and limited to senior cybersecurity leaders at mid-to-large enterprises across banking, healthcare, telecom, fintech, government, and critical infrastructure.
Dubai as a global cyber hub
“Our objective is to enable real collaboration, accelerate innovation, and help organisations stay ahead of evolving cyber threats in an increasingly digital economy,” said Deep Chanda, Chief Officer at Ampcus Cyber.
By anchoring the Council in Dubai, Ampcus Cyber is positioning the emirate as a node in a global cybersecurity leadership network — one focused not just on defence, but on building the digital trust that underpins regional growth.
