Both titles are due to launch on July 1 and will be headed by Jeevan Thankappan, who has joined the company as Managing Editor for the Middle East and Africa.
Thankappan previously served as Group Editor of CPI’s technology publications division, followed by a leadership role at Insight Media Middle East and, most recently, as Managing Editor at GEC Media Group.

With Intelligent Tech Channels MEA, we are delivering a dedicated platform that brings together global expertise and regional insight to support the next phase of channel growth.”
He added that Intelligent CISO Middle East will spotlight the region’s most influential CISOs, innovations and cybersecurity success stories, while offering actionable insight to help organisations strengthen resilience and stay ahead of emerging threats.
“The Middle East is one of the most dynamic and fast-growing cybersecurity markets in the world. With Intelligent CISO Middle East, we are creating a dedicated platform that delivers the insight, expertise and regional relevance today’s security leaders need to navigate an increasingly complex threat landscape,” he said.
Intelligent Global Media also publishes Intelligent CIO Middle East and Intelligent CIO Africa magazines in the region.
