Backed by Global Ventures, STV, and Aramco, SpiderSilk is the first AI cybersecurity product company to come out of the Middle East and go international. It specializes in external exposure management and attack surface defense, and its proprietary technology is now protecting global organizations like Unisys and Hitachi, and regional ones like STC Solutions, ADNOC, and more. Meanwhile, its national cyber defense platform is shielding government agencies in the KSA, UAE, and Jordan from global threats posed by cybercrime syndicates and nation state actors. In fact, that platform is currently overseeing over 7,000 assets across 60 federal agencies in the UAE on behalf of the Telecommunications and Digital Regulatory Authority.

  • FOUNDED IN: 2019
  • SECTOR: CYBERSECURITY

"We are net importers of cybertech in our region, and that is an issue from a national cyber defense perspective. Our proprietary tech is from the UAE, for the UAE, and beyond."
