Secured Podcast | Live from Intersec Dubai 2026: Joachim Mahlstedt, ASSA ABLOY

Recorded live at Intersec Dubai 2026, I sat down with leaders shaping the security market across the Middle East.

In this episode, I’m joined by Joachim Mahlstedt, Chief Commercial Officer DAS & Managing Director Kentix GmbH at ASSA ABLOY. We talk about why the Middle East continues to be a major proving ground for large-scale security innovation, how the region is accelerating the convergence of mechanical and digital security, and why data centers and critical infrastructure are becoming some of the most exciting “white space” opportunities in the market.
