mohammedia – Ai Everything MEA Egypt 2026 will be held in Cairo on February 11th and 12th, with organizers expecting the participation of technology companies, government agencies and businesses from over 60 countries.
Led by GITEX GLOBAL and in collaboration with the Egyptian Ministry of Communications and Information Technology and the Information Technology and Industrial Development Authority (ITIDA), the event will bring together public and private stakeholders to explore the deployment of AI across enterprise systems and national digital infrastructure.
Cybersecurity forms part of a broader scope of events that addresses the use of AI across digital infrastructure, including data protection and network security.
AI systems are commonly used to scan large datasets, identify patterns, and flag anomalous activity. AI tools often work in the background of software systems already in use by businesses and public institutions.
As more services move online, AI is increasingly being used to support digital security. AI-based systems monitor network activity and flag anomalous behavior that could indicate unauthorized access or disruption. It can process large amounts of data quickly, allowing security teams to respond more efficiently than manual review methods.

AI-powered security systems are widely used in the financial sector to monitor transactions, identify fraudulent activity, and protect customer accounts. Banks and payment providers rely on automated tools to see activity across digital platforms, especially as mobile and online payments continue to grow. These systems are also used to support compliance with data protection regulations and financial crime regulations.
AI is also used to support identity verification and access control, such as systems that detect anomalous login behavior or attempts to bypass authentication mechanisms.
In enterprise environments, AI tools can help identify software vulnerabilities, prioritize security patches, and detect malicious code within corporate networks.
Public organizations are using AI-assisted systems to protect digital government services, monitor large-scale networks, and respond to cyber incidents impacting critical infrastructure.
Industrial and manufacturing sites are increasingly using AI to protect operational technology systems by detecting abnormal behavior in connected machinery and control systems.
It is no coincidence that Cairo was chosen for the first AI Summit. Egypt’s National AI Strategy 2025-2030 lists secure digital infrastructure as a priority as government services expand online. Official strategy documents link the growth of AI systems to the need to strengthen cybersecurity across public sector platforms.
Against this backdrop, Egypt’s focus on AI and cybersecurity reflects broader efforts to expand digital services while managing the associated risks.
Surveillance and risk management is one of the broader issues related to the use of AI in cybersecurity. As AI tools are deployed in public and private systems, questions about system reliability and enforcement of security standards remain important.
Ai Everything MEA In Egypt, AI and cybersecurity are expected to be discussed as linked components of digital infrastructure, especially in the context of enterprise systems and public services.
Participating companies include Fortinet, which develops AI-driven network security and threat detection systems, and Sangfor Technologies, which provides AI-based cybersecurity solutions focused on network protection, cloud security, and threat prevention for enterprise environments.
