23 Jul OPSWAT opens its OPX Lab in Dubai

OPSWAT announced it has officially opened the doors to its OPX Lab in Dubai.

This Critical Infrastructure Protection (CIP) lab is the only facility of its kind in the region, offering high-fidelity simulations of real-world cyber threats and serving as a testing ground for developing and implementing robust, sector-specific defences.

Designed to be immersive and interactive, the OPX Lab offers both current and prospective customers a unique opportunity to experience real-time cyberattack simulations tailored to their specific environments.

“This isn’t just a demo, it’s a proving ground,” said Saif AlRefai, Solutions Engineering Manager at OPSWAT. “The OPX Lab brings to life the kinds of cyber threats our customers face every day. It allows them to test how our technologies detect, prevent and respond to those threats in a fully controlled, hands-on environment. That level of experience translates into faster, more informed security decisions and a higher level of operational resilience.”

This facility is part of OPSWAT’s global OPX Labs initiative that aims to bring critical infrastructure simulation capabilities to high-risk markets.

A key feature is the Nuclear Plant Model Reactor, which combines OPSWAT’s IT/OT cybersecurity platform to demonstrate how sensitive environments, such as nuclear power stations, can defend against advanced cyberattacks.

The OPX Lab is also accessible to channel partners, making it a strategic platform for enablement.
