GISEC GLOBAL 2026 – A Circus of Cybersecurity Panic and Posturing

Ah great, another bloody cybersecurity event, this time GISEC GLOBAL 2026, the so-called “largest” in the Middle East & Africa. Because what the world *really* needed was another crowd of self-proclaimed cyber ninjas and over-caffeinated vendors flogging their “AI-powered quantum blockchain zero-trust next-gen” junk. Everyone’s there pretending they’re saving the internet while they can’t even reset their own passwords without phoning the helpdesk.

You’ve got keynote speakers who think PowerPoint slides count as threat mitigation, booths stacked with more buzzwords than sense, and executives hoarding swag like it’s crypto from 2021. The whole bloody thing’s a massive peacock parade of “cyber resilience” slogans, free coffee, and folks pretending their breach detection software doesn’t scream “false positive” every 10 minutes.

They’ll blabber about AI, IoT, and every other TLAs (that’s Three Letter Acronyms) known to humankind while conveniently forgetting that patching their bloody servers might actually help. Somewhere in there, a few poor bastards will try to talk about real security work—but their voices are drowned out by marketing teams doing interpretive dances about “attack surface management”.

In short, it’s the same annual bullshit-fueled networking fest, but with fancier badges, more overpriced coffee, and the latest excuse for “digital transformation.” Still, if you want to watch hundreds of “thought leaders” congratulate themselves for reinventing the firewall, this dumpster fire of an expo is your place.

Grab your lanyard, polish your LinkedIn profile, and get ready for the spectacle of professionals pretending they can stop ransomware with positive thinking and glossy brochures.

Reminds me of the time I ran a “security awareness training” by locking the whole office out of their systems until someone figured out how to read the damn email instructions. Still my proudest moment. Idiots learned real quick to stop clicking random crap.
