Copy of Advancing Cyber Resilience in the Middle East: AICS 2025

The Arab International Cybersecurity Conference & Exhibition (AICS) continues to position itself as one of the most influential cybersecurity forums in the Middle East, convening global experts, senior government officials, C-suite executives, and board members to shape the future of cyber resilience.

This year’s edition highlights the growing strategic importance of critical infrastructure protection and OT/ICS security, areas where geopolitical complexity, digital transformation, and operational risk increasingly converge.

As part of this international dialogue, Israel Reyes will contribute as a subject-matter expert in cybersecurity for critical infrastructure and Operational Technology (OT/ICS). His participation includes delivering a dedicated conference session and leading an executive-level workshop focused on translating cyber risk into board-level decisions, strengthening resilience across industrial and national infrastructures.

AICS is not only a space for sharing lessons learned, but also a platform for building trust, collaboration, and long-term strategic vision between the public and private sectors. In this context, special recognition is extended to Dr. Arwa Chahbi, whose leadership and collaboration reflect the spirit of international cooperation that defines this event.

With Bahrain serving as a regional hub for cybersecurity dialogue and innovation, AICS 2025 reinforces a clear message: cyber resilience is no longer a technical discipline alone—it is a cornerstone of national security, economic stability, and executive leadership.

The conversations taking place in Bahrain this year will undoubtedly help shape the next generation of policies, frameworks, and best practices for securing critical infrastructure worldwide.
