The Gulf region is undergoing a massive digital transformation, driven by ambitious national visions and a rapid shift toward cloud-native architectures. As enterprises in finance, government, energy, and telecom increasingly turn to open source to drive innovation and scale AI, they face a critical challenge: How do you leverage the power of open source without compromising on security, strict local compliance, and operational control?

Join Canonical’s open-source experts for our regional webinar designed specifically for Gulf enterprises. We will explore how organizations can securely adopt open-source technologies, meet stringent regulatory frameworks, and build a future-proof foundation for enterprise AI, all while maintaining absolute control over their infrastructure.

What you will learn

  • The Sovereign Open Source Imperative: Discover why Gulf enterprises are shifting away from restrictive vendor lock-in toward secure, sovereign open-source strategies that guarantee complete data ownership, local control, and long-term architectural freedom.
  • Continuous Security & Compliance with Ubuntu Pro: An in-depth look at hardening your infrastructure using Ubuntu Pro to meet strict regional cybersecurity mandates. We will explore how to achieve automated compliance, enforce continuous CVE patching for over 30,000 open-source packages, and eliminate downtime through Livepatch (kernel patching without reboots).
  • Centralized Governance via Landscape: Learn how to streamline operations and maintain a rigorous security posture across your entire estate. We will demonstrate how Landscape provides centralized management, automated policy enforcement, and vulnerability monitoring across hybrid cloud, data center, and edge environments.
  • The Sovereign AI & Data Platform Stack: Accelerate AI/ML initiatives from local prototyping to full-scale production using Canonical’s integrated open-source stack, including Apache Kafka, Kubeflow, PostgreSQL, and Kubernetes. Learn how to deploy enterprise-grade data platforms and AI pipelines while keeping proprietary models and sensitive datasets strictly sovereign, on-premises, or in-region.

Who should attend?

The Cost of Inaction is Rising. With regulatory scrutiny at an all-time high in the GCC, patching vulnerabilities and managing open source lifecycles cannot be an afterthought. This session will give you the practical blueprint needed to innovate securely.
