Beyon Cyber, a division of the Beyon Group, has secured three major honors at the 2025 Cyber Security Excellence Awards, one of the industry’s most esteemed recognitions, voted on by the global cybersecurity community and independently evaluated.
Competing in the highly competitive 100-500 employee category, Beyon Cyber emerged victorious, taking home the following awards:
- Fastest Growing Cybersecurity Company
- Excellence in Cybersecurity Innovation (for Beyon Cyber’s proprietary platform, Intel X)
- Cybersecurity CEO of the Year
These accolades signal Beyon Cyber’s rise as a trailblazer in cybersecurity, with its vision, scale, and proprietary technology set to revolutionize the region’s cybersecurity landscape, according to a statement from the company.
Launched in 2024 by Beyon Cyber Labs in Bahrain, Intel X is now actively deployed across regional enterprises. The platform allows IntelX-enabled clients to harness cutting-edge AI and automation technologies, enabling faster and more efficient security operations that outpace traditional, outdated methods. This innovation addresses the growing need to combat rapidly evolving cyber threats at a fraction of the usual cost.
IntelX’s real-time threat intelligence detection and containment capabilities, which operate across an enterprise’s security controls within seconds rather than weeks, significantly reduce the risk and exposure to known threats. This unique tool earned Beyon Cyber the Excellence in Cybersecurity Innovation award, reinforcing the company’s position as a disruptor in the cybersecurity sector.
Holger Schulze, CEO of Cybersecurity Insiders—the largest global community of cybersecurity professionals and the organization behind the awards—praised Beyon Cyber for its rapid growth, innovative product offerings, and strong leadership in one of the world’s most competitive regions.
The Cybersecurity CEO of the Year award was presented to Dr. Shaikh Khalid bin Daij Al Khalifa, CEO of Beyon Cyber, and his executive team, in recognition of their leadership in steering Beyon Cyber through a phase of rapid growth, regional expansion, and innovative technological advancements.
Dr. Shaikh Khalid expressed his pride in the recognition, stating, “These awards reflect the outcomes we deliver and the ambition we bring to the region. We are proving that cybersecurity innovation can be built locally, scaled regionally, and trusted globally.”
With a growing client base, strategic partnerships, and continued investment in research and development, Beyon Cyber is not only expanding but also paving the way for a more secure digital future in the GCC and beyond.
