About this event

The IDC IT Security Summit Saudi Arabia is a one-day meeting of the Kingdom's CISOs, security leaders, policymakers and technology vendors, organised by the research firm IDC. The 2027 edition, Securing the Enterprise in the Age of AI Agents, focuses on trust, resilience and control as autonomous AI spreads through Saudi organisations while NCA and SDAIA requirements tighten.

What's covered

The programme is built around eight themes.

Trust in the age of autonomous AI
AI in the cyber arms race
Identity-centric defence and zero trust
Preparing for post-quantum security
Resilience against ransomware and disruption
Sovereign cloud and AI governance
Securing the digital supply chain
Cyber risk, governance and boardroom priorities

Why attend

IDC positions the day around Saudi-specific research: analyst insights grounded in local market conditions and NCA compliance, practical frameworks for NCA ECC and SAMA CSF-aligned architecture and SDAIA data governance, and peer networking with Saudi and GCC CISOs facing the same regulation, giga-project and OT security pressures.

Programme

The day opens at 9:00 am with a welcome address, followed by IDC's keynote on governing agent identities, enforcing guardrails and building resilient architectures for agentic AI.
