Dragos Announces Appointment of Omar Al Barghouthi as Regional Director – Middle East
Summary: Dragos appointed Omar Al Barghouthi, a 20-year industry veteran who previously served as Cybersecurity Sales Director at IBM Middle East, as its Regional Director for the Middle East on August 2, 2022. The appointment follows Dragos's March 2022 opening of a Dubai office tied to the UAE's Operation 300bn, which targets raising the industrial sector's GDP contribution from US$36 billion to US$82 billion by 2031, and its November 2021 expansion into Saudi Arabia.
What you should know: The region's governments are pushing industrial growth and connectivity across oil and gas, chemical, mining, logistics, and water, and Al Barghouthi himself frames that progress as happening amid adversaries increasingly targeting critical infrastructure.
