IN THIS WEBINAR

Kuwait's NCSC (established by Amiri Decree No. 37, 2022) has issued mandatory National Basic Cybersecurity Controls (Decision No. 2, 2026) aligned to CIS Controls v8.1 and the NIST CSF. Entities have 18 months to achieve full compliance or obtain a documented exception.

Attendees will understand ID's honest boundaries — it enables compliance evidence but doesn't enforce controls for.

While this is focused on Kuwait's NCSC compliance framework, this webinar will also cover OT cybersecurity automation topics for all Middle East cybersecurity professionals.

What you'll learn:
OT asset inventory (ID-1) — deep, continuous hardware/software visibility
Centralized OT log collection and monitoring (DE-1) — syslog, Windows Event Logs, security tool logs, forwarded to SIEM/SOAR
Vulnerability monitoring and patch visibility (PR-1.2)
Configuration baselining and change detection (PR-1)
