CyberX Qatar 2026 — AI in Offence, Defense and Cyber Resilience Takes Centre Stage in Doha
CyberX Qatar 2026 returns to the Grand Hyatt Doha on April 22 for its 31st Global Edition, bringing together 300+ prequalified delegates to explore AI's role in cyber offence, defense and resilience as Qatar's cybersecurity market heads toward USD 196 million by 2030.
CyberX Qatar 2026 Summit and Awards at Grand Hyatt Doha focusing on the role of AI in offence, defense and cyber resilience.
Qatar's cybersecurity market is projected to grow from USD 143 million in 2025 to nearly USD 196 million by 2030, driven by government initiatives, cloud-first strategies, 5G expansion, and rising cyber risk awareness.
National leadership led by the National Cyber Security Agency is strengthening cyber resilience through regulatory frameworks, critical infrastructure protection, and alignment with Qatar National Vision 2030. Supported by smart infrastructure development, cloud adoption, and 5G expansion, the country's cybersecurity ecosystem is evolving toward AI-driven, resilience-focused security models.
As organizations shift toward AI-driven resilience models, they face growing challenges including advanced AI threats, OT/ICS vulnerabilities, skills shortages, regulatory complexity, and business continuity demands.
Across the region, the Middle East remains one of the fastest-growing cybersecurity markets, with investments expected to nearly double from USD 20.55 billion in 2025 to around USD 41 billion by 2030, fueled by rapid digital transformation and AI security adoption.
